The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is developing a new nursing curriculum to address the shortage of nurses in the country.
According to Vonne Aquino's report on "24 Oras," 51% of the country's registered nurses have emigrated, while 20% are not working in the hospital.
In the new curriculum, "exit credentials" is a new option for nursing students who have completed one to two years, where they can now work as a nursing aid or nursing associate. “Okay naman po sa akin yet kung sa experience naman po, kailangan pa talaga ng more years talaga na kumpletuhin yung program. And also makakatulong rin kung sa pagiging nursing assistance, financially rin,” said Jasper Zeppi Cornejo, a nursing student.
“Mas okay siguro kung tataasan nila yung mga sweldo ng nurses. Mas malaki pa rin yung sweldo kung ibang trabaho ang gagawin nila,” said Hannah Collamar, nursing student.
