00:00On October 23rd and 24th, 2024, eight COSTAT students wrote the Trinidad and
00:07Tobago Nursing Council's psychiatric nursing examination. Four months later,
00:12the results are yet to be released. The students told TV6 News, whatever the
00:18outcome, the integrity of the exam is of a huge concern to them because the
00:24prior batch of seven psychiatric nursing students waited eight months for their
00:29results, paid for a review after the majority were given a failing grade and
00:34were never given the opportunity to view these results. The matter is also of
00:40concern to President of the Trinidad and Tobago Registered Nursing Association
00:46Edie Stewart.
00:59Students told TV6 News, more than 200 general nursing students wrote their
01:24exams on October 3rd, 2024 and the results were released to them one month
01:29later and their papers were corrected abroad by the CXC Education Board.
01:34However, they point out regarding the psychiatric nursing exam whose papers
01:40are corrected by the Trinidad Nursing Council, four months later the students
01:45are unable to obtain any information about their results. Mr. Stewart told the
01:51TV6 News, what is even more concerning is the desperate need for psychiatric
01:57nurses in the health care system.
02:21Stewart said the students are being treated unfairly.
02:51When contacted, President of the Trinidad and Tobago Nursing Council
03:09Corey George told TV6 News quote, the students are also free to email the
03:15office of the President Corey.George at TTNursingCouncil.org. We have a duty to
03:22respond to their concerns as stakeholders end quote. Students told TV6
03:27News they have called and spoken with officials but got no results. They are
03:33now looking at their legal options in the matter.
