Agitated unemployed nurses on Friday staged demonstration during the examination and boycotted recruitment test held in front of the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
“Several thousands of unemployed nurses took part in the protest and brought out a procession to meet their demand in the afternoon,” said Nahida Akhter, Secretary General of Bangladesh Basic Graduate Nurses’ Society.
They also demanded cancellation of the examination immediately, she said.
Unemployed nurses have been demonstrating since early April protesting a Public Service Commission (PSC) circular issued on March 28 about recruiting of 3,616 senior nurses in public hospitals, which says applicants below 36 years and having Bachelor of Science and Diploma in Nursing could take the examination.
Earlier, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also announcement on recruiting 10,000 nurses.
