The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa has called on all 2012 matric learners and their parents to be extra careful of fly -by- night nursing institutions which take advantage of desperate pupils by offering nursing courses which are not accredited by the nursing body. Denosa spokesperson Sibongiseni Delihlazo spoke us telephonically saying that any srudent who enrolls at an institution that offers unaccredited nursing programmes is not allowed to practice as a nurse. Students who want to study nursing are encouraged to first check with the South African Nursing Council iffice if a particular institution in the area is accredited.
