nurses
HAVANA, Cuba, June 2 (María López,
Lux Info Press / www.cubanet.org) - Officials
at the Eusebio Díaz maternity hospital
in the Havana municipality of Marianao closed
a ward for lack of nurses.
Recent nursing graduates can look forward
to frequent shifts of 18- to 24-hour days,
without the necessary facilities, for a
salary of 148 pesos a month during the first
two years, 171 for the next two, and a maximum
salary of 190 pesos, or less than 8 dollars.
Nurse Ana Corea said: "In the Aballí
pediatric hospital, there are several wards
closed for lack of nurses. We leave because
we have to do other things if we want to
eat."
