‘No to Filipino nurses’

‘No to Filipino nurses’


By CHERYL ARCIBAL
The Manila Times Reporter


The Japanese Nursing Association (JNA), which is against the entry of Filipino nurses in Japan, said the working conditions of Japanese nurses must be improved first before Filipinos are taken in.

In a recent interview, Kyoko Nagaike, a JNA board member, told The Manila Times that the salaries of Japanese nurses should at least be doubled before Filipino nurses could work in Japanese hospitals.

Under the Japan-Philippine Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA), Filipino nurses and caregivers can work in Japan as long as they undergo training and pass the licensure examination, which is written in Japanese.

The exams are the same tests given to Japanese nurses and caregivers.

Japanese nurses get a basic starting salary of 193,924 yen or about P85,000.

Nagaike said the JNA believes there are enough nurses in Japan to look after the growing number of senior citizens.

Nagaike said the JNA would only be willing to support the entry of Filipino nurses if the Japanese government could ensure that they would be given the same treatment and salaries that Japanese nurses were receiving.

"If we allow Filipino nurses to come in and they would be given lower salaries and lower benefits than the Japanese nurses are receiving, it could spell worse times for us because as it is now, the working conditions of Japanese nurses need much improvement and if cheap labor would come in, these working conditions, we’re afraid, would remain," she said through an interpreter.

Nagaike said that if the working conditions of Japanese nurses were improved, as much as 550,000 nurses and nursing assistants would go back to working in hospitals.

The JNA laid down four conditions for accepting Filipino nurses in Japan:

• Filipino nurses must obtain a Japanese nursing license by passing National Examination for nurses.

• They must be proficient enough in the Japanese language to practice safe nursing care.

• They must be employed under the same or better conditions if they work in Japan.

• They must not admit mutual recognition of licenses.

Pwede ba?... basahin nyo muna ng maigi ang article bago kayo mag-comment...

misleading yung title... what do you expect from dante ang's paper?

kung di talaga pwede ang Pinoy nurse dun para ano pa yung qualifications na sinet-up nila?

Japan has nothing against Filipino nurses per se. They are just looking after their economy and their own professionals... Unlike dito sa pinas.

my gaz! what a poor reading comprehension some of the posters here have. Please try to stick with the issue presented in the article. Dont just throw your two cents without understanding coz it makes you appear stupid.

Maganda ang gusto nilang mangyari sa ganitong paraan maiiwasan na ma exploit na naman ang mga pilipino. Hindi dahil di ka marunong ng salita nila e hindi pwede. Pero paano ka mag pra-practice ng nursing mo kung hindi kayo magkaintindihan ng pasyente mo.
