Angry nurses then gave the government a 10-day ultimatum
The Coalition of Private Unemployed Nurses (COUPN) has issued a 10-day ultimatum to the government to find a job for its members or face a protest.

The angry nurses subsequently submitted to the government a 10-day ultimatum for appropriate responses to their situation, failing to hold a series of protests across the country.
