Do students have to “work” on weekends and public holidays and at night?

As the public needs 24 hours care, students will be expected to participate in shift work. Nurses in their first year (direct entry programme) will participate in shift work on some week and weekends. The Extended Bachelor of Nursing students only start their practical placements in their second year of study. First year students will not be expected to do shifts at night. Second to fourth year students will be required to do night duty mainly during recess periods.
