Sa US po meron silang unlicensed assistive personnel tumutulong sa nurse pero hindi sila makabigay nang gamot pero they can do basic nursing functions but with the supervision of a licensed nurse. Pinagsasbi mo Pimentel na pa simplehen yung exam dapat high quality nga ang exam kaya naging known ang Filipino nurses worldwide dahil dyan sa exam hindi low standard.

Adjust the salary in public and private hospitals to attract qualified nurses.

[NicaChuYT]

Agree ako kay Sec. Herbosa. Pero dapat limited lang din pwede nilang gawin sa hospitals.

di nman ibig sbihing di nkpsa na di na qualified or they can't perform well.there are reasons why they failed.pwede nman clang nursing aid, that way nagkkroon n cla ng experience.tru working nman sk ngiging bihasa.d nman dhil nagwork k agad, e bisaha naka.let's give them a chance.msrap po yang pagkain na yan, we shld be greatful for what we have, some cant even identify the taste of good food, no house to live in, no clean clothing.sabi nga, kung mliit ang kumot magtiis mmlungtot, but it doesnt mean, they dont deserve a salary raise and adtl benefits lalo sa ating mga nurses na mahirap tlg ang work nila at at stake pa ang buhay nila dhil expose cla sa dif illness.

Ang hirap kasi sa mga government officials, spokespersons and media na rin e hindi nila binibigyan ng diin yung CONTEXT na ang plano dun sa mga nursing people na hindi nakapasa ng board exams e gawin silang nursing assistants or nursing aids. Hindi sila magfa-function as full-fledged nurses dahil sila ay magiging under the supervision of actual licensed nurses. Walang problema dito. Hindi lang kasi effective yung communication sa mga tao e.

This will be a precedent to other exams

[niketig]

Not passing nurses they can practice as LPN assistant nurse as license practical nurse until they can get their license 🪪 as a registered nurse that what they do in other countries and they continue their practice as healthcare workers and professionals.

[paulpadilla]

Depends on the job which will be done by temp nurses

[Korbkorn]

Working without license should be illegal!

[sto.]

Samantalang andaming Licensed Nurse na nasa Call Center Agencies lang. Ano to bababa tayo ng standards para lang maka raos? nagpa exam pa kayo?

[johnleeIsMe]

Ask those na nagra-rally kung ano ang mga trabaho nila… magugulat ka na hindi naman nagta-trabaho ang mga iyan. Ang daming time mag-rally eh.

Hindi nagta-trabaho pero nanghihingi ng taas ng suweldo - saan ka pa?!?

Pero kapag nagsarado ang kumpanya, nasaan ang mga nagra-rally na iyan. Well…..

Let us not blame Sen Pimentel kse even the Passing rate for Bar exam is not fixed at 75% flexible po xa dpende sa porsynto ng kailangan mkapasa also the content of the Bar exam ay hindi parepareho minsan npkadali at minsan npkahirap cguro depende lng sa target ng SC na mkpasa..

[wohvnko]

napakataas ng STANDARDS pag NAKAPASA KA sa PRC at maging RN nurse ka sa PILIPINAS, kahit wala cla sa hospital, kung CORPORATE setting, RETAIL or sales or BPO industry, MATATALINO at MAGALING mga yan, >TAASAN nyo sahod ng NURSES cgurado babalik mga RN nurses na yan sa HOSPITAL<

[original.dwornboy]

People's lives are on the line here. On his head be it.

[rogieroxas]

Good idea dalian ang exam para marami makapasa....😅😅😅.goodluck pelepens..

[Lito_J]

Ayaw koko pimentel pero wala naman siyang alternatibo para ma bigyan ng solution problema ng kakulangan ng mga nurses

[blessed-uoop]

need nila ng workers na walang lisensya, para mababang sahod😅.

walang nga namang mag rereklamo ng sahod kung walang pinang hahawakang lisensya😢

we do have a lot of nurses around the Philippines, at puro LICENSED sila, kaso NASA ibang work places lang sila, yung KAYANG buhayin sila. Sad but Truth

[paulpadilla]

Thats doh position... What happens to the lgu hospital? It is really more than 4k positions....

[christineannclerino]

Doc magiging mismatched ang kanilang career na iyon mga nurses hindi pumasa sa exam at maghanap ng ibang trabaho. Kailangan i kunin ang opurtunidad.

[myspeakingmind]

kaya ng private hospitals magbigay ng mtaas ng sweldo dhil sa isang araw na confinement mo, dios mio, papalo na sa 5k to 15k depende sa sakit.
