Did Gweru Student Nurse Kill Herself over dismisal? Latest Details

A SECOND year student nurse expelled from Gweru Provincial Hospital along with three of her colleagues for a series of misdemeanours, has allegedly threatened to commit suicide claiming she had been unfairly dismissed.

Miss Elain Madonho allegedly posted a suicide note on Sunday claiming that she had been dismissed unfairly from the institution’s nursing school.

She is one of the four student nurses who include Miss Sharon Ndiva, Miss Ingrid Wombasha and Miss Shumirai Mandiga who were expelled from the hospital’s nursing school on May 26 after appearing before a board that was set up by the Provincial Medical Director Dr Simon Nyandundu.

The four student nurses were allegedly facing charges that include forging the signature of a supervisor at a clinic where they were attached, incompetence and insubordination after refusing to write a report.

Earlier yesterday, zwnews.com reported that a female trainee nurse allegedly took her own life following unresolved problems with tutors and management at Gweru General Hospital.

Below is a suicide note left by the  Gweru based student nurse who ‘killed herself’ recently over unfair dismissal following a hearing.

In the message, she names her alleged tormentors that she feels were responsible for her predicament..

BUT there is new information suggesting that the student(pictured) is alive and the suicide drama is a plan to persuade her college to reconsider the decision to expel her and three or four other students.

It is alleged that the student who wrote the suicide note was dismissed from the nursing college together with her colleagues  after they did not turn up for work related learning(attachment) at some rural clinic.

They went on to forge signatures in order to fool their tutors that they attended their placement.

A hearing then took place leading to their expulsion from Gweru General Hospital Nursing College.

In their defence, the expelled students asked the disciplinary team to consider that others committed similar offense but got away with it….

Below is the ‘suicide’ messages directed at different people at the nursing school..

from what I heard years before I started attending ur institution all I heard were praises… Why couldn’t you hear me if what I heard was true?? I gave u my voice and u shut ur ears. Why did u let people over ride you and yet you could have decided on ur own?? Where my grades not good enough t

o prove to you that I was serious with nursing?? 1 mistake and u have taken away my life? You allowed Christabel to continue even after falling pregnant and giving birth because she is e matrons daughter, Mupoperi was involved in so many school fights but she has qualified.. Exactly wat have u seen in me that u felt it fit to steal my life away. Students only complete their competencies when results are out but I wasn’t given that chance. The whole class was given 2weeks but I hardly got 2days. What did I do that I was not given e chance to correct my mistake like e rest of e class?? Anyways I forgive u and hope u find the Lords mercy because u really need it… You can explain to my daughter where her mother is
