Stop the deterioration of quality nursing education
Stop the deterioration of quality nursing education (LETTER)
July 16, 2006, Manila Times
I read your editorial in the July 12 issue of the Manila Times on the “two depressing” events that affected the country’s nursing education. I refer to the mass resignation of members of the Technical Committee on Nursing Education of CHED and the “leakage” of test questions in the June 11-12 nurses examination.
I agree with your editorial that unless something is done to stop the deterioration of quality nursing education, we will be producing incompetent and unskilled nurses. This will have an adverse effect on countries where Filipino nurses are in demand.
In other words, the demand for our nurses in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia and the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, will drastically fall.
Something must be done by the government to avert this consequence for the benefit of our nurses who have dreams of working abroad.
