Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations.
The country’s burgeoning health-care outsourcing industry is expecting a
74-percent growth in the number of its full-time employees (FTEs) this year,
making it a viable alternative for job-seeking graduates of nursing and other
medical-related courses.
Last year Himoap said the industry employed 24,700 individuals. “Himoap
aims to have 43,000 full-time employees by the end of this year.”
1. Choose a review center that would bring out the best in you. The Lecturers will not be there for you during the board exam, as i quote “Hindi ang mga lecturers ang magaling, dapat kayo kasi kayo ang magtatake ng exam”
2. No overcrowding policies. How can you concentrate in a review if you are seated at the back or already standing? It would be very uncomfortable to you.
3. Programs or style of review must be based on latest technological and developments that would help you more. since we are in the new generation, why would you choose a traditional review composing of “lectures and reading” if you can only gain 20% retention learning on it? Try looking for a higher retention rate for better learning
At the end of the day, it is not the review centers that will ensure your success in the board examination, it is your own perseverance, discipline, and hard work that will determine your success in the quest to become a professional nurses endowed with knowledge, skills and right attitude

MANILA, Philippines — Three of the largest organizations of nurses in the country joined congressmen in assailing the continued government inaction to demands for an end to the volunteer nursing training program allegedly exploited by nearly all private and government medical institutions.
Laguna Rep San Luis said government, through the Departments of Health and of Labor and Employment, has the moral obligation to look into the complaints of majority of the country’s over 280,000 nurses who are forced to do regular nursing jobs in hospitals without getting paid.
Nars ng Bayan president Eleanor M. Nolasco said Health Secretary Enrique Ona should heed their appeal for a halt to this illegal, unethical and exploitative practice at the same time provide employment opportunities for nurses with corresponding professional development and advancement programs.”
"Our nurses want to work and earn a living but they become forced volunteers. The certificates of training given them are not accepted for employment overseas,” complained Dr. Leah Primitiva G. Samaco, president of Ang Nars.

False promises Many of the Philippine recruitment agencies often employing British advisers are flirting with, if not flouting, the law, taking a fat fee for the promise of a job they cannot deliver.
Now, in fact, the UK is losing nurses rather than importing them. Australia is the prime destination, followed by the US, New Zealand and Canada. In 2008, less than 200 Australian nurses registered to work in the UK, whereas more than 6,000 UK-registered nurses had their qualifications validated to move down under.

Cavite nursing graduate tops board exam Over 30,000 nursing graduates have joined the ranks of registered nurses after passing the licensure examinations given by the Professional Regulations Commission last December. He led the 29,711 passers out of 84,287 examinees from across the country. which is equivalent to a 35.23% national passing rate, the lowest in two years.
Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) president Teresita Barcelo estimated that up to 200,000 nurses were jobless as of last year.
“The demand for nurses abroad in the past years had led to the opening of many nursing schools whose students do not even pass the Board exam for nurses. In the end it is the nurses who suffer because there is already an oversupply of nurses in our country,” she lamented.
Some of those who had plans of going to nursing schools may back out because of the oversupply of nurses.
“The oversupply of nurses is to a certain extent a result of the world economy. Past two years there was a downturn in economy. Many went bankrupt. So there’s no more demand. I think our students know what to do,” he said.
Barcelo added that in 2000, there were only 172 nursing schools but this bloated to 491 in 2004.
“There’s already an oversupply of nurses and not much job opportunities. There are so many nurses now who are unemployed. “Our parents spent so much on our education but we could not find a job. We didn’t expect this,” Arminda said. click the headline at the top of the article to read the complete article.
Authorities cannot deny the fact that the more schools are being allowed to offer Nursing course, the more they are jeopardizing the skills of new nurses. Many countries are beginning to doubt about the quality of Filipino nurses, as they began to impose stiff requirements.
While their nursing graduate number keeps climbing, few jobs are available. Hospitals have been picky in their hiring of new applicants. Only those who graduated from prestigious schools are prioritized.
This forces some of the new nurses to look for other employment away from their profession. But, unfortunately, majority of them end up jobless, still dependent on their parents.

Fresh graduates are in an awful situation once
they graduate. Some
hospitals are
trying to gain profit from these newly licensed RNs by making them pay for their
“training fee” and to “render nursing care services to the hospital”. DOUBLE
WHAMMY? I absolutely agree that to be on greener pastures in nursing, you have
to start at hell first with minimal chance of going
up.
