Monday, November 29, 2004: Fiji (South Pacific): Plan to counter nurses:"We have a plan in place but we have not come up with the actual budget that will cover for everything that we have put in place," he said. The plans include rostering nurses on 12-hour shifts, providing meal allowances and transportation home after their shifts. He said more than 100 nurses who were not members of the association and retired nurses would be providing health services in the three main divisions."

Glad to hear nursing unions in other countries are active as well.
