After 20 years of hard work and challenges, Naemi Shipoke finally celebrated the victory she so much longed for when she was conferred a nursing diploma. She is now a registered nurse and stationed at Katutura hospital where she has worked for 28 years. The mother of three's career started in 1988 when she applied for the position of assistant nurse in Oshakati. She said the ministry then wanted to do away with the position of assistant nurse and sent her for a training course at the National Health Training Centre to become an enrolled nurse. Shipoke said the ministry of health over the years established a committee listing nurses and their ages and considered those with advanced age to go study.
