The Ministry of Health has deferred the enrolment date for this year's nursing intake at the Fiji School of Nursing.

The Permanent Secretary for Health, Dr Lepani Waqatakirewa said the enrollment will now take place on Monday 4th February instead of 21st January.

He is calling on all the 11 new students to make their travel arrangements on or before 4th February.

He said the rescheduling is due to current maintenance works, renovation and repairs being done at the Fiji School of Nursing's accommodation.
