According to the graduates, after trooping into the various Regional Health Directorates after completion of their Rotation to purchase forms for posting, they found notices including "DEGREE NURSES ARE EXCLUDED FOR NOW".

The University Nursing Students Association of Ghana (UNSAG) has expressed displeasure with the decision by Government and the Ministry of Health to disallow University Graduate nurses from partaking in the current posting process.

They also argue that this is a deliberate attempt to refuse nursing students from the various universities across the country from being posted, as only bonded nurses from nursing training colleges are currently being allowed to purchase forms.

When Pulse.com.gh contacted the President of the University Nursing Students Association of Ghana (UNSAG), Mr Aduse Poku Kwadwo, he said the Ministry of Health has assured them that the situation will be addressed soon.
