Nurses' groups oppose plan to grant temporary licenses

Several nurses organizations on Tuesday expressed disapproval on the proposal to issue temporary licenses to unlicensed nursing graduates to allow them to work in government hospitals.

Philippine Nurses Association president Melvin Miranda said that Health Secretary Ted Herbosa shouldhis plan to hire nursing graduates who scored 70-74% in the board exam even though they flunked, given that they retake and pass the board exam after a certain period of time.

“Kung ang isang nurse ay definitely recognized as licensed, ‘yung level of confidence niya at saka ‘yung kanyang competence ay mahahalintulad sa isang propesyonal na pag-function niya ng kanyang propesyon. Kapag ito ay mako-consider natin na temporary license, wala pa kasing definite na pag-aaral kung saan sila ay naka-achieve na ng high level of confidence sa pag-perform ng kanilang mga tasks,” he said.

“FNU's stand is DOH should prioritize employing registered unemployed nurses or those working in non-nursing jobs. There are around 120,000 nurses categorized by DOH who are working in unspecified field of practice.These may be those unemployed and or those in non nursing jobs,” Andamo said in a message to GMA News Online.
