A senior deputy minority leader on Monday called on the government to provide comprehensive solutions in addressing the shortage of nurses in the country.
Rep. Paul R. Daza of Northern Samar stressed the need to look at the system as a whole, including standards and licensing.
“It seems that this number alone shows a glaring disparity in how nursing schools train future nurses and what the health sector requires—or it could be that even the examination system must be revisited. We need to increase passing rate and find alternative ways of licensing,” Daza added. The lawmaker called on the Commission on Higher Education , the Professional Regulation Commission , and its Board of Nursing to review the curricula of BS Nursing as well as the continuing education and retooling programs.
