Talk Radio 702 reports that in a radio interview on Monday, Deputy President of the Democratic Nursing Organisation of SA (Denosa), Modise Letsatsi, said some nursing colleges failed to teach correct courses prescribed by the Nursing Council.  

Letsatsi was responding to a report in The Times that the Nursing Council was failing to give accreditation to colleges providing nursing training.  He indicated that it was not clear what was preventing the Nursing Council from issuing accreditation, but said some of the existing nursing colleges did not teach students the correct prescribed curriculum.  Letsatsi reported that government has committed to reopen some of the nursing colleges that have been closed to address the problem of shortages.
