During Nurses Week 2023, Soria Dupie-Winston, President of the Antigua and Barbuda Nurses Association, emphasized the need for greater investment in nurses.
Speaking on the Observer AM show, she linked this year’s theme to the importance of providing incentives to retain nurses.
She suggested rent-to-own land as a possible incentive that would allow nurses to use their land as collateral for a mortgage to get a house and remain in the country.
Dupie-Winston also discussed ongoing negotiations with the government regarding working conditions.
The week of activities included a church service, a Zoom webinar on mental health and strategies for learning and investing in the future, and a luncheon celebrating nurses and retired nurses.
The week concluded with a boat cruise titled ‘Dinner and Dance Under the Stars’, which was open to the public and sold tickets through executive members of the association.
Dupie-Winston noted that the association scaled down Nurses Week due to the organization’s 75th anniversary in October.
