Of Pride and Integrity
Of Pride and Integrity
by sweetnez168@yahoo.com
SOMEHOW I UNDERSTAND HOW MR TADLE COULD ACT AND SPEAK THE WAY HE DOES… HE IS NOT A NURSE. HE DOES NOT KNOW NURSING.
AS FOR THE NURSE GRADUATES OF UST AND THOSE WHO WANT A RETAKE I AM DISMAYED BY THEIR ACTIONS AND THE LOGIC THEY HAVE ADAPTED TO JUSTIFY THEIR ACTIONS.
UST HAS A PROUD HISTORY. OTHER SCHOOLS LIKE UP CLAIM TO HAVE THAT TOO.
HOWEVER, NURSING DOES NOT SHARE THAT PRIDE.
NURSING HAS A HUMBLE HISTORY. THERE WAS EVEN A POINT IN TIME WHEN ONLY WHORES AND OUTCASTS TOOK TO THE ROLE OF NURSING. SO WHERE DO YOU PUT PRIDE IN THIS PICTURE? WHERE DO YOU EVEN PUT INTEGRITY?
TODAY, THERE ARE NEITHER WHORES NOR OUTCASTS, STILL NURSING IS PERCIEVED AS A “DIRTY” JOB. IT MAY PAY WELL, ESPECIALLY IN 1ST WORLD COUNTRIES, BUT CITIZENS OF THESE COUNTRIES RARELY TAKE IT UP AS A CAREER PATH FOR THEM AND THAT IS WHY THEY HIRE NURSES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.
SO TELL ME…SINCE WHEN WERE NURSES PUT ON A PEDESTAL? WE ARE ANGELS IN THE SICK ROOM. WE ARE SERVANTS. INTEGRITY MAY NOT BE THE LEAST OF OUR CONCERNS BUT IT IS NOT WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT EITHER.
INTEGRITY IS NOT THE ESSENCE OF NURSING JUST AS MUCH AS KEEPING OUR UNIFORMS CLEAN IS NOT A MAIN CONCERN IN CARING FOR PATEINTS.
I ADMIRE THE COURAGE AND CANDOR OF THOSE WHO WANT A RETAKE BUT I AM SADDENED BY THEIR LACK OF COMPASSION.
FOR THAT, I AM ALSO AFRAID OF THE KIND OF NURSES THEY WILL BE.
FOR INTEGRITY’S SAKE WILL THEY COMPROMISE THEIR PATIENTS' DIGNITY JUST AS THEY ARE WILLING TO COMPROMISE THE DIGNITY OF THOSE WHO TOOK THE BOARD EXAMS AND PASSED IN GOOD FAITH?
FOR INTEGRITY’S SAKE ARE THEY WILLING TO ROB THEIR PATIENTS OF A DIGNIFIED DEATH TO MAINTAIN THE FAVORABLE STATISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL WHERE THEY WORK?
FOR THEIR PRIDE AND FOR THEIR INTEGRITY ARE THEY REALLY WILLING TO HURT INNOCENT PEOPLE?
I AM VERY AFRAID...
Note: Please feel free to email us your thoughts, opinions and point of view on the current issues surrounding Nursing.
This a blog that is worth puttin into trash! how sad that Nursing Profession is being portrayed as whores and an outcast.. let's say that is true.. r u willing to put Nursing in that situation again?! i hope not.. admit it, we are living in a material-based world.. that is why many people are taking up this course.. but i do hope, these material things won't affect your judgement on what is TRUE and JUST.. what is moral and immoral.. we nurses are the one should safeguard our pofession.. and i do hope you'll do the same..

Nowhere in the blog is the profession portrayed a whore or an outcast... it his however true to the nursing history... or have you forgotten?...
The blogger... simply put... cannot see how NURSES WOULD WANT PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY AT A PRICE THAT BELITTLE THE DIGNITY OF HONEST AND DECENT HUMAN BEINGS.
YOU ALSO HAVE TO ADMIT THAT FOR EVERY MATERIALISTIC REASON OTHERS HAVE IN PURSUING THIS PROFESSION THERE ARE ALSO OTHERS WHO HAVE LEARNED TO LOVE IT AND TAKEN ITS VIRTUES TO HEART....

Kelan nga ba naging masimportante ang integridad ng isang propesyon kaysa pagmamalasakit sa ibang tao?
D po ba ang hallmark trait ng isang nurse ay yung sinasabing compassion?
Sa akin lang po parang ang yabang na ng dating ng ibang mga nurses para pagpilitan ang mag-retake. OO nga para sa integridad ng propesyon pero kung ikaw nurse matitiis mo ba na ang kapalit ay yung karapatan ng ibang tao na matanggap yung nararapat sa kanila bilang ganti ng paghihirap nila?
Ang galing nating magsabing patient advocate tayo pero karapatan ng kapwa nurse inaapakan natin.

Minsa naisip ko rin. Di bale na puta, pulubi o driver ng jeep mag-aalaga sa kin... basta yung puta na yon, odriver o pulubi ay yung tipo ng taong nagsasauli ng gamit na di kanila...
Iba nga jan galing sa buena de familia nakapagtapos pa ng pag-aabogado... magnanakaw naman pala... sa kaban pa ng bayan...

PRC is to blame! DOnt look at them as heroes! They are the whores.
By using the "Ibe formula" we can never really tell who actually passed and failed. By using the formula most of those who passed may have actually failed. THat is the sad reality, kaya wag masyadong mayabang ang mga so called "passer", that is the whole logic of the retake. By using the IBE formula, it is the PRC who escalated the whole issue on a natiowide basis. Ngayong alam na natin na Man & Bag lang ang leak, babawiin ba ng PRC ang formula for Vis and Min? TIME for those who "failed" to speak out!
Now, who ruined the in the integrity of the NLE?
Note: I am just waiting for my interview schedule, going to Texas. Just in case you would think that I am "sourgraping", which is your favorite arguement. Been monitoring your site for a week now, can you present a better arguement than sourgraping?

I agree sa Ibe formula.. well cno ba naman papayag na magretake kung di ako sigurado na papasa ako next time. lisensya na magiging bato pa. dapat kasuhan din ang PRC chairman for this mess. and halata naman na may anomalya syang gnagawa. pati ung boss and big boss nya ngyn eh tinitira nya. eh appointee lang naman cya.. bkit kaya??

ows! uy para dun sa nagpost sa 'taas', basahin mo yung 'FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING' (yellow book about 5 inches thick!kasi forgot the author. hehe!) bago ka mag-comment dyan... ANDUN PO YUN SOURCE NITONG nag E-MAIL na ITO... Read chapter 1... andun yun 'bad reputation' na sinasabi nya PROMISE...
medyo nahahalata po kayo na di nagbabasa... buti pa yung nag-email nabasa nya yung 5inch book na FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING... baka po bumagsak kayo sa NCLEX we suggest basahin nyo din po muna yun... hehe! ;P

kasi po TAMA ANG PANININDIGAN NI MAM ROSERO kaya po nya kinokontra si Brion, Dante Ang at PGMA...
at wala pong kinalaman ang PRC sa dayaan sa nursing boards... baka yun ibang BON pwede pa... pero mali pong 'logic' na lahatin sila dun kung di naman lahat ay may kinalaman sa dayaan...
gaya din naman sa kaso ng mga 42000 june test takers... maling sabihin na lahat ay mag-retake dahil nagkaron ng dayaan... dahil di naman lahat ay nakakuha ng 'leakage'... at sa dami nila 42,000++ anung mainan na paraan at solusyon ang dapat gawin ng kinuukulang na 'just & fair' sa lahat...
di ba mas mainam na tinanggal ng PRC ang exam na may leakage... nabawasan ng halos 35% ang 42,000+ examinees sa pagpasa ng 17,000+ successful examinees... at di pa po natatapos ang kwento duon... mahirap na ma-pinpoint ang nakinabang sa leakage sa mga pumasa, tama ka... ngunit di lamang pagpasa sa NLE ang batayan upang masabi na sya ay 'competent nurse' na...madami pang syang dadaanan upang mapatunayan ito... nursing employment... international exams... etc... etc... salamat!
