for nurses
to remain high in next decade
--officialBy Nikko DizonInquirerLast updated 08:37pm (Mla time) 08/23/2007MANILA, Philippines -- The demand for nurses in the United States will remain high for the next 10 years, according to an official of the US National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). An initial group of examinees took the National Council Licensure Examination at the first NCLEX testing center in the country on Thursday. "The nursing shortage is still significant and research still indicates that there is a future anticipated shortfall of more than a million nurses in the US," Casey Marks, NCSBN associate executive director, told reporters in an interview. The shortage is worldwide, according to Marks. In the US -- a preferred destination of many Filipino nurses -- "there is certainly a significant demand for a long period of time," he said. With opportunities looming ahead, Marks said he would encourage more Filipinos to take up nursing as a profession

‘Call us Batch 2007,’ says successful nursing test retaker 2007-08-27 22:27:00 Northern Luzon BureauLast updated 05:13pm (Mla time) 08/27/2007BAGUIO CITY, Philippines -- Nurses who passed the scandal-ridden 2006 licensure examinations wanted to call themselves members of Batch 2007, after successfully passing the licensure test for a second time."Refer to us as Batch 2007, please," said Cyndi Erfe, one of the three Baguio nurses who first exposed cheating in 2006.Erfe was among the June 2006 board passers who gave up their licenses and retook the five sets of examinations in 2007.She said retaking the whole test erased the stigma of last year's examinations, which prompted American nurses' associations to review the licenses of Filipino nurses seeking employment there.She is testifying against two former board examiners and two nursing review centers for their alleged role in test leakages in 2006.Maria Grace Lacanaria, nursing school dean of the Saint Louis University, said nurses of Batch 2006 who chose to keep their licenses still "have great professional fu
Chief nurse urges docs to stay in RP 2007-08-27 22:23:00 The president of the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) made a personal appeal to Filipino doctors who want to take up nursing to be able to work abroad.Dr. Leah Paquiz said the PNA cannot control the number of people who want to take up the nursing profession because it is the right of every individual.She, however, said: " Makikiusap po ako sa kanila: Huwag na po kayong mag-nurse para naman po mayroong mga doktor na maiwan sa Pilipinas (I'm appealing to them: Please don't take up nursing. We need doctors in the Philippines).”Paquiz admitted that more doctors are determined to leave the country to work overseas as nurses because of the bigger pay and incentives.The PNA chief also said that she is concerned over the exodus of doctors to other countries to look for work as nurses.“Madami kasi. Nawawalan na po tayo ng doktor. Iyon ang nakakalungkot, nawawalan na tayo ng doctor na titingin sa atin (They're too many. We're losing our doctors.

10 TIPS IN CHOOSING THE RIGHT REVIEW CENTER 2007-09-18 11:00:00 Written by Jay ofphilippinenurse.blogspot.com1. TRACK RECORDChoose a review center that has a high passing rate, this means that most of the people enrolled in their program are able to pass the test.You may also look if they produce topnotchers, but I think that the passing rate is still a better gauge.2. LOCATIONChoose a review center located in a strategic place. Some people prefer to have their review in a place near their house. This way, they are able to make their time more productive rather spending that free time for traveling. Of course there are other solutions to enrolling in a distant review center. You can opt to rent a house or dorm, or you could live with relatives living near the review center of your choice.3. REVIEWER AND LECTURERChoose a review center that employ good reviewers. These reviewers or lecturers doesn’t necessarily have to be popular, what is important is that they have the credentials needed in being a lecturer and that they are effective in teaching.

The government employs around 20,000 nurses. Even if the salaries of these nurses are increased to P50,000 ($1,079), it would only cost the government P1 billion ($21,598,272).read more from the source: www.bulatlat.comhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/FESA
