“The bulk of our nurses go abroad, ang naiiwan sa atin yung bagong graduates,
‘yung quality tuloy ng health care bumabagsak (The bulk of our nurses go abroad,
the ones left are the new graduates, thus the quality of our health care
declines)," said Dr. Carol Araullo, chairperson of Bagong Alyansang Makabayan
(Bayan).
She said this “short-sighted labor export policy" has caused our hospitals to
lose experienced medical consultants and doctors who have converted to nursing.
Moreover, she said that these “converted" nurses do not get to practice their
skill at the level they really are at.
She said that the number of students taking up medicine also have declined,
thinking that nursing is the only way to go abroad.
Data from the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) indicated that
enrolment for medical and allied courses in the Philippines grew from 164,000 in
2002 to 219,498 in 2003.
She said the current global financial crisis is somehow a good thing if it could
make some overseas Filipino workers (OFW) come home.
However, she said that returning health care specialists do not always find it
easy to return and work in the country after working overseas.
“A lot of doctors who come back take three to five years to reintegrate," she
said.
Araullo, however, did not say what should be done with more than 400,000
licensed nurses who are said to have remained jobless in the country since the
United States and United Kingdom froze their hiring of foreign nurses in 2006.
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has said that Australia, New
Zealand, Norway, and France would need the services of Filipinos – particularly
nurses, information technology workers, truck drivers, hotel personnel, and
heavy equipment operators in the near future.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) also aims to
hire 10,000 more nurses to meet their urgent need for medical staff.
Negotiations are also underway to make the entry of Filipino nurses to the Czech
Republic possible in the future, the DOLE said. - Kimberly Jane T. Tan,

Tuesday, October 21, 2008 RP wants to send nurses to Czech Republic
Czech Republic is another country that is experiencing a shortage of nurses as
their health care workers chose to work in Austria and Germany.
Aware of the need to hire foreign nurses, the Philippine Foreign Minister,
Alberto Romulo is eyeing Czech Republic as another work destination for Filipino
nurses. Romulo said that he hope the labor market of Czech Republic would open
its door to Filipino nurses.
Dana Juraskova, the president of Czech Nurses' Association said that no Filipino
nurse are currently employed in their country and that she is aware that the
Philippine government is exerting effort to make entry of RP nurses in Czech
republic possible.
Foreign nurses who wish to work in the Czech Republic must prove their
competence by undergoing an evaluation and pass a language exam. Hired foreign
nurses train and work under the supervision of a veteran Czech nurse before they
are allowed to work on their own.
Juraskova said that because the Philippines follows the U.S. training program,
RP nurses are qualified to work in America.
She explained "As the association president I was addressed by the ambassador of
the Philippines and I held talks with him. The problem is that they did not
realize that we have to have nurses who speak Czech. Another problem is that no
one in our country has analyzed their educational programmes whether they
correspond to ours."
According to Romulo, 300 to 500 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are currently
working in Czech. Most of them are employed in construction companies.
SYMPTOMS MNEMONICS
Dr. Jaime Galvez Tan, a professor at the University of the Philippines College
of Public Health, said there is no reason for Filipino nurses to feel that there
are no job opportunities for them when there remains a high demand for
Philippine health workers overseas.
“Resourceful nurses go to the Internet where they can apply and be immediately
interviewed through the webcam," Tan said.
Unfortunately, said Tan, even the best nursing schools in the country have not
taught resourcefulness among its students.
“We are not beggars. In fact, the world is kneeling before us; Give us your
nurses, give us your doctors," he said. “The vacancies are there. The US (for
instance) needs 300,000 foreign nurses this year.
" According to Tan, new labor markets in Saskatchewan and Alberta in Canada have
recently signed a pact with the Philippines to cater to Filipino nurses and have
even offered a number of incentives to their families.
But this is hardly ever felt by Len, 22, who remains unemployed despite
graduating from a top nursing school and passing the board exams.
According to her, most hospitals abroad require foreign nurses with at least two
years work experience, but most private and public hospitals in the country have
very few vacancies for new graduates.
Faced with this difficulty, Len said she had to attend more seminars to gather
more “work-related experience" to make her a more attractive applicant overseas.
Mark, Len’s boyfriend and also a nursing graduate, didn’t fare better and is now
employed in a call center while waiting for any of the 10 hospitals he applied
with to consider him.
At St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City alone, an average of 30 nurses apply
every day. But the country’s premier hospital has a nursing pool of 300 nurses
who finished three months pre-hire training, while vacancy is 6-10 persons per
month since Oct 2007.
At the Philippine Heart Center, hiring has slowed down as turnover rates has
decreased to 10 percent since 2006. In 2007, the turnover rate remained while
the nursing pool has risen to 1,500.
At the Philippine General Hospital, waiting time is 10-12 months with a nursing
pool of 200-250.
There are 100 applicants per exam conducted every 2 months – but only about
20-25 percent pass and still go over interviews. In 2007, PGH turnover rate
was.83 percent.
‘Exploitation’
Paquiz said some hospitals are exploiting their nursing students to do the tasks
that should have been relegated to registered nurses.
“Mag-hang sila ng mga karatula sa labas ng bahay They could hang a nurse signage
outside their homes and then the community can ask for health education," Paquiz
told GMANews.TV in an interview.
“If lawyers can hang their names outside so could nurses. We could also ask for
consultation fees," she added. -MARK JOSEPH UBALDE, GMANews.TV
