London woos irish school leavers.
Well over 200 Northern Irish school leavers have responded to a recruitment campaign launched by North West Thames Regional Health Authority The campaign is aimed at young people who might be tempted into nursing but lack the more stringent qualification requirements of the Northern Ireland National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting According to Regional Nursing Officer Robert Nessling, the Health Authority is prepared to consider students with two 'O' levels, whereas the Northern Ireland Board demands a minimum of five, including English language and Science.
