PETALING JAYA: Lifting the moratorium on new diploma-level nursing courses is just one part of the solution towards addressing the estimated 62% shortage of registered professionals by 2030, say nurses’ groups.
“The starting salary for nurses in the civil service is around RM1,800 per month, excluding allowances based on the existing government scheme. This should be increased to RM2,000 with new allowances created for shifts and meals, as practised in other countries,” she said. He said the Cabinet had made the decision to lift the moratorium on July 5 after discussions between the Higher Education Ministry and the Health Ministry on the shortage of registered nurses in the country.
“The new generation of nurses seeks better work-life balance, which can be addressed through flexible working hours once there is a sufficient pool. Mahsa University’s founder and former dean of nursing and midwifery Prof Zahrah Saad said the nurses’ groups had been waiting for the government to revise their salaries.
