Nicola Mckenzie: 021 241 5802 - Withdrawal Process: The student who wishes to withdraw must speak to their manager and also the Nurse/Midwife Manager Professionl Development: Workforce about difficulties which are being experienced. This may mean more support can be put around the student which will assist and lead to success in the paper. If this is not successful please email both manager and Nurse/Midwife Manager– Professionl Development: Workforce to inform them.
- The RNs withdrawing need to understand that id they withdraw without extenuating circumstances this will impact on their receiving future funding and in some situations they may be asked to reimburse the DHB. It also reflects badly on the DHB and can have a detrimental effect on the HWNZ contract.
