Nursing Exam

Local Nursing Licensure Exam for November board taker is over. The exam was conducted last November 29-30, 2008. Reported from the news that Board of Nursing made the exam a lot harder than before.Probably because they wanted to control the over populated nursing industry.

There are lots of unemployed nurses here in the Philippines as reported.They have work but not related to their course.Majority of them are in the call center which offers a great compensation. The problem here in our country is we have few hospitals yet supply of nurses are overflowing. Some hospitals doesn't want to accept newly graduate nurses unless you undergo training with them; no compensation, no everything and the worst is you gonna have to pay them around 3000 for a 3 months training.But, I know that there are still hospitals left who are gracious and understanding to the nurse beginners.

They said we have over supply of nurses but how come the nurse-patient ratio is not appropriate. Like in some popular institution 1 nurse : 20 patient. The needed care that patient need is sometimes not met by nurses.What I mean here is the interaction, the simple yet important. It is talking with them. Nurses just go to the room to give medicines and facilitate other procedures important to restore their health.

Anyway, I am really hoping and praying that all my friends will become R.N soon. As well as those deserving nursing graduates.
Prior to their exam I already prayed for them.
