Nursing students of SINU acknowledge SolRice for donating bags of rice towards their practical assignments.
SolRice donated 50 10kg bags of rice to the Solomon Islands National University (SINU) students in a lowkey handover at the company’s office in Ranadi, east Honiara on 20 April.
Spokesperson for the students, Justin Oloinao said they appreciate SolRice’s support because it will help reduce costs for them. The school only meets transport and accommodation.
“This support will greatly help us in terms of food, especially in challenging circumstances where the school can only send us with only sea/bus fares and accommodation. Leaving us with huge cost to meet for our own foods,” Mr Oloinao said.
Oloinao, a third-year nursing student said the practical segment of their programme will take 10 weeks in which they will go out and serve in Gizo, Kiluufi, Kirakira, Hellena Goldie, Buala and Good Samaritan hospitals.
“We will go on practical at the end of this month,” Oloinao said.
There are 116 nursing students ready for the practicals.
“We would also like to appeal for any support as we approach our deployment time,” he said.
The practical segment of their programme allows for the nursing students to apply what they have learnt in the real-world environment within the hospital under the supervision of registered medical doctors and nurses.
