Explanatory Note,
(This Nore is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).
These regulations rescind and replace regulation 12 of the Nurses Registration Regulations and amend the Fifth Schedule to these regulations.
1 The new regulation 12 provides that student nurses who are due to complete their training during the mouth in which either the preliminary or final examinations are held, shall be eligible to enter for the examination although they will not have completed the full period of one or three years respectively outil the end of the mouth in which the examination is held.
3. This regulation also provides that no student nurse who has three times failed either the preliminary or final examination may attend such examination apain in the future. A student nurse who has twice failed her tinal examination now required to undergo a further period of training before she is allowed in enter for the examination for the third and fast time.
4. The opportunity has also been taken to delete from the Fifth Schedule to the existing regulations all matter not relevant to the syllabus of subjects for the preliminary and tool examinations as regulation 10 of the existing regulations provides that it is the syllabus of subjects for examinations that are contained in the Fifth Schedule. Where relevant, the deleted matter has been introduced into regulation 12.
