[NEWS, OPINION]


TUCP, CHED urges graduating High School students not to take-up 5 "oversubscribed" courses: one of which is NURSING

I feel disheartened by this article featuring the statements coming from Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP).
The problem that the Nursing Profession faces today is not new to me. I am actually experiencing it right now. But the bad thing about these statements is that it hinders high school graduates to choose freely what course they really want to take in college.
Indeed, it is correct to say that Nursing (or any of the five courses stated in the article) are somewhat or "extremely oversubscribed," but the thing is, these organizations can't tell these students to "avoid" or "stay-out" (of) the aforementioned courses.
In the case of Nursing, these statements could be of much effect especially to the Nursing Education. I think they failed to consider that having decreasing amount of nursing student (or even total absence) could lead to even more unemployment in the said profession as this could result to laying-off of many Nursing Educators.
As matter of fact, this situation is currently happening right now and these press releases could even aggravate this condition. I hope that organizations like TUCP and CHED should consider the effects like what I've stated above before "urging" the graduating High School students to avoid these professions.
And the thing is, I believe that there's still future that awaits these students in the Nursing Profession. Many developed countries are having an increasing aging/ elderly portion in their population and this either directly or indirectly means that they'll evetually need to call for other health care providers (like Nurses) coming from outside their country to provide care to these people.
It is not new to us that the Philippines is one of the top producers of  Nurses worldwide.

"Hilot" as a future career

The idea of taking up the "Hilot" / Massage Therapy course is good. It's new to me that being a "Hilot" is in demand and even high-paying right now but I also honestly think that it's a good vocational course to consider too: for as long as the student really want to take it up.

TUCP's say about the Mass-Oath-taking

Though TUCP said something bad about Nursing (telling that it is oversubscribed and even urges graduating High School not to take it in college), it is good that it is in favor about the idea of pursuing the Mass Oath-taking of the July 2011 Nursing Licensure Examination (NLE/ NLEx) passers.
I hope that the Philippine Nursing Association (PNA) and ADPCN's call to continue the aforementioned ceremonies will finally be heared and approved by the PRC-Board of Nursing as soon as possible.

No frills oath-taking for nurses

The board of nursing of the Professional Regulation Commission will start administering the nurses’ oath on September 25 but will do away with the lavish oath-taking en mass in keeping with the government’s austerity measures.


Labor department spokesman Nikon Fameronag said that all those who passed the nursing board examination can take their oath at the PRC office in Manila.


Nursing schools which prefer to conduct the mass oath-taking can do so even without officials of the nursing board or PRC. The school dean may administer the oath, he said.


PRC chairman Teresita R. Manzala earlier said the mass oath-taking was scrapped to save on government funds, but the Philippine Nurses’ Association opposed the move, saying that no government money was being spent for the ceremonies. The nurses used to fork out money to spend for the oath-taking venue, souvenir program and related expenses. Each nurse was required to pay P600 for the venue, equipment and other expenses, the nurses’ group said Vito Barcelo

Stay out of 5 college courses
Written by : ERNESTO F. HERRERA, Tuesday, September 06, 2011

THE Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) has urged young Filipinos to stay out of heavily oversubscribed college courses if they want to increase their chances of obtaining gainful employment after graduation.


The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has already identified at least five extremely oversubscribed programs: teacher education, nursing, business administration, information-technology, and hotel and restaurant management.


Compared to potential labor market demand, there are now far too many fresh graduates of these five courses, and large numbers of new students still going into these programs.


We’re afraid the huge oversupply of graduates of these programs has made it exceptionally difficult for them to sell their skills to employers.


Fresh high school graduates as well as college students who could still shift courses should instead consider going into science and technology as well as agriculture and fisheries—programs that have been singled out by the CHED as undersubscribed.


Students can also check the career guide section posted at the Bureau of Local Employment website at www.ble.gov.ph, which contains a series of occupational briefs or summary information about hard-to-fill and highly in-demand occupations, to aid students in planning their university courses and workers who would like to shift careers.


Even the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has advised students and workers to consider taking health-related courses other than nursing, as this paper reported last Monday.


“With the continued glut of registered, yet, unemployed nurses, alongside with the recent developments highlighted by nurse-volunteerism in hospitals and institutions, I encourage students and workers to look at other healthcare professions if they want to get employed quickly,” said Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz.


Baldoz issued the statement as the new batch of successful examinees of the July 2011 Nursing Licensure examination further increased the surplus of nurses in the country.


TUCP has been pushing for the opening of new foreign labor markets and the creation of local employment programs for the growing number of jobless Filipino nurses. It has also been pressing for the shutdown of substandard schools that it said have been defrauding nursing students and their parents.


Baldoz pointed out that there are other job opportunities in the health and wellness industry besides nursing.


“The Health and Wellness industry has been identified by DOLE’s Project Jobsfit as one of the 12 key employment generators that will provide more employment opportunities,” Baldoz said, adding that the industry has the potential for absorbing the most number of Filipino workers in the next 10 years.


The Labor chief said that other careers under the industry, such as optometry, physical therapy, pharmacy, medical technology, clinical and internal medicine, surgery, radiology, wellness massage and spa/massage therapy are occupations that are expected to propel more employment opportunities both local and overseas up to 2020.


“These kind of careers are in-demand not only in hospitals, but also in laboratories, clinics, health maintenance organizations, public health agencies, pharmaceutical firms, research institutions, scientific equipment companies, physicians’ offices, and schools offering clinical laboratory science programs. Indeed, their licenses can bring them to greater heights and greener pastures,” Baldoz said.

Allow oath-taking of new nurses, labor group urges PRC, DOLE

I urge the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to reconsider their decision to scrap the traditional oath-taking for the 37,513 nursing graduates who passed the July licensure examination.


The TUCP supports the appeal of the Philippine Nurses Association Inc. (PNA) for the ceremony to proceed as scheduled on Sept. 25.


Nurses consider the ritual a celebration of their profession. In a way, the observance also honors parents and families who have invested in a big way in the nursing education of their children.


The PRC earlier cancelled the ceremony at the prodding of the DOLE, which cited the need to conserve public funds.


However, the PNA has countered that the government has never spent any money for the formal service to begin with.


The nurses themselves have been paying P600 each to cover the cost of the venue, equipment and other expenses, with the extra collections going to the Board of Nursing, the PNA said.

Students urged: Avoid 5 oversubscribed courses 
By Mayen Jaymalin (The Philippine Star), September 05, 2011 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines -  The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) yesterday urged students to avoid five oversubscribed college courses to increase their chances of getting employment.


TUCP secretary-general Ernesto Herrera said the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has identified education, nursing, business administration, information technology, and hotel and restaurant management as “extremely oversubscribed” programs.


“We’re afraid the huge oversupply of graduates of these programs has made it exceptionally difficult for them to sell their skills to employers,” Herrera said.


“There are now too many fresh graduates of these five courses, and large numbers of new students still going into these programs,” he added.


Herrera said high school graduates and college students who could still shift courses should instead consider going into science and technology as well as agriculture and fisheries - programs which have been singled out by the CHED as undersubscribed.


Meanwhile, Herrera asked the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to reconsider their decision to scrap the traditional oath-taking for the 37,513 nursing graduates who passed the July licensure examination.


He said the labor group supports the appeal of the Philippine Nurses Association Inc. for the ceremony to proceed as scheduled on Sept. 25.


“Nurses consider the ritual a celebration of their profession. In a way, the observance also honors parents and families who have invested in a big way in the nursing education of their children,” Herrera said.


The PRC earlier cancelled the oath-taking for nurses to save on government funds.

‘Hilot’ future for young Pinoys

Believe it or not, “hilot” is not a thing of the past but the future for young Filipinos.


The labor department yesterday advised students to become massage therapists, locally known as “hilot,” to easily land a job.


Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said DOLE has identified the health and wellness industry as one of the 12 key employment generators that will provide more employment opportunities in the coming years.


Baldoz said wellness massage and spa therapy were identified among the in-demand skills in the next decade.


“Massage therapists who have completed formal training programs and have passed the licensure exam are likely to have very good job opportunities,” she said.


Aside from “hilot,” other in-demand skills are optometry, physical therapy, pharmacy, medical technology, clinical and internal medicine, surgery, and radiology.


“These occupations are expected to propel more employment opportunities in the industry, both local and overseas, up to 2020,” Baldoz said.


She said the nursing graduates, who successfully passed the licensure examination last July, will increase the number of unemployed people in the country.


“With the continuous glut of registered, yet unemployed nurses, alongside the recent developments highlighted by nurse-volunteerism in hospitals and institutions, I encourage students and workers to look at other healthcare professions if they want to get employed quickly,” Baldoz said.


The labor chief said workers in the health and wellness professions have entry level salaries ranging from P8,000 to P12,000 per month but may go up to P20,000 or higher after years of experience.


Abroad, the average salary is about $6,351 per month or higher.


“These kind of careers are in-demand not only in hospitals but also in laboratories, clinics, health maintenance organizations, public health agencies, pharmaceutical firms, research institutions, scientific equipment companies, physicians’ offices, and schools offering clinical laboratory science programs. Indeed, their licenses can bring them to greater heights and greener pastures,” Baldoz added.


DOLE urged students to check the summary information of all health-related courses in the career guide section posted at the Bureau of Local Employment website at http://www.ble.gov.ph.


The career guide contains information on hard-to-fill and highly in-demand occupations to help students planning their college courses and workers who would like to shift careers.


Meanwhile, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) called on private companies to revive and strengthen their apprenticeship programs and hire qualified trainees as part of their workforce.       


TESDA director general Joel Villanueva said there is a need to push the apprenticeship program “because it has always been proven that the best place to acquire skills is in the workplace.”


He said these training schemes not only enhance partnership between the industry and technical vocational education training providers but also ensure a steady supply of best job-fit and ready workforce.

9th Q&A Monday






THANK YOU SO MUCH for checking out our weekly Q&A Monday Editions! The very first Edition is the most popular so far, but who knows, this one may break that record so let's get started!


Got lots' of questions in my Inbox today, but I have picked 10 here to answer for this Edition of Q&A Monday!




What's your favorite saying?

asked by Formspring
--- I have this habit now of changing my favorite saying every week or setting it depending on my current mood.
So my favorite saying for the week is "All things come to him who waits – provided he knows what he is waiting for." It was said by Woodrow Wilson and I really like it because it applies to my current working situation.

Who is the most interesting person you follow and why?
asked by jjdemon
--- Hmmmm... let me think about that a little more longer.. haha.. But my favorite this far in Formspring is 3OH!3 because they ask lots of interesting and mind-provoking questions (wow!)
But I picked this question too for Q&A Monday so you must be an interesting person to follow too. :)

If you could dye your hair any color what would it be???
asked by FredFigglehorn
---If I would dye my hair now (as what color came to my mind first) I'd color it with Violet.
I mean, I actually have no idea how Violet popped-out my mind but maybe because it's a cool color and Violet shirts suits me better.
Not to say that Green is still my "overall" favorite color. :D

you think Beyonce's kid is gonna look like her or Jay?
asked by 3OH3
--- I wish it could be a baby girl and look like Beyonce.
By this way, we may be assured that we'll have a sexy diva like her in the future! LOL..

whats one thing about this summer you wish you could do again?
asked by AskCamryn
--- What's in my last summer that I wish I could do again? hmm.. Oh, right, I actually spent most of my time last summer reviewing for the Nursing Licensure Examination, and one thing's for sure, I dont' want to do that again! haha..
If there's something that I really enjoyed a lot last summer, maybe that's walking aroud the cool Baguio City and enjoying its beautiful sceneries.


Some people take months to plan out their Halloween costume. What costume ideas do you have?
asked by BDisgusting
--- DO I really have to plan for that? haha.. I mean, me, myself is already horrific! haha.. (just joking! :D)
Maybe I'd like to go with the Twilight Gaga and plan to either be a warewolf or a vampire like Jacob and Edward. (if that even needs long planning! :D)

Do you believe Aliens exist? Do you think 3OH!3 could be the first band to play in space?
asked by 3OH3 
--- I am open to the idea that aliens maybe existing. But as of now, it's really an idea that's hard to buy.
I will not be shocked if 3oh!3 comes out to be the first band to play in space. Rock on dudes! :D


What do you do when you cannot do what you want to do? :D
asked by tamaguilar 
--- Awww.. this question really made me bleed a lot. haha..
If I can't do what I want to do I may think about waiting for the right time for me to do it or if there's really no hope that I could do it, then there's no hindrance for me to consider scrapping the idea.. :D


what's the plan this weekend!!!?
asked by 3OH3 
--- There's actually nothing special about my plan for the next weekend because we'll have to go to the PRC to finally register as Nurses.
But there's a consolation because I will have the women that I love the most with me. :)


What is the worst thing that could happen?
asked by RuthAnna25
--- I think I have already answered this question somewhere sometime but I'll answer it again for you:
The worst thing that could happen to a person is to die without being satisfied and without having the feeling of self-accomplishment and self-actualization because that will just make him/her too much regretfull about the time that he/she has wasted in the past.
The worst thing about this is the fact that noone has the ability to undo what he/she has done in the past.

8th Q&A Monday


What do you wish you were better at?
asked by Formspring
I wish I was better on Teaching, speaking in English and typing. Many jobs now require you to be good in these three.


anong plano mo ngayong long weekend.?
luntiangbughaw
Sa totoo lang, wala, except for going to church (which has been cancelled too because of bad weather, It's good that He is always there for us to talk to).
May work kasi ako during those days because it's not a holiday in Korea.


Kind-hearted or good-looking? :)
tamaguilar
I'd definitely go to the kind-hearted. It's not important for me that my friends are good-looking, for as long as they have a good attitude, behavior and they are responsible.
(Not saying that my friends and girlfriend is not good looking, LOL :D )




chocolate cake? or vanilla ice cream?
RuthAnna25
hmm.. I'd choose chocolate cake. It's sweeter and it will take me longer to eat it over easy-to-melt ice cream.
But I like both because I have a sweet tooth. :D




How do you define true friends?
RuthAnna25
My definition would be more of a cliche: True friends are those who's always there through both good and bad times.
True friends don't look for the benifits of having you as their friend.




name 3 of your best friends
RuthAnna25
MArven Majam, Meriden Garlit, Arriene Valena,.
+  Joveil Jovenal, Karl Leen Antonio. (Magagalit sila sa akin kapag hindi ko sila sinama)




Should women be allowed equal rights in MMA?
(i.e. able to go against a guy)
houstonassassin
For as long as they can ensure the safety of these women.
I know lot's of women there want to be in that arena.




Fill in the blanks: I wish _____ will ______ me.
tamaguilar
I wish God will hear me. I hope he'll always be there even if sometimes, I commit some sins and mistakes.
I know that through his unending guidance, nothing is impossible.




You're washing your face in the bathroom and when you open your eyes and look in the mirror, you see something. What "something" would scare you the most?
BDisgusting
Maybe the thing that could really shock me the most is when I see blood all over my face and worst if it bleeds out of my skin pores and it's really painful. :D




MUSTA?
from InfiniteLove10
ayos lang naman ako.. medyo tinatamad gawin ang mga task at hand pero at the end of the day, kinakaya parin at ang importante, masaya pa rin. :)


Maraming Salamat sa mga walang sawang nagtatanong (may saysay man o wala.)
Ika nga nila, mas marunong yung nagtatanong, KAYA MAGTANONG NA RIN KAYO.. :D


Leave your questions as a comment below, in the "Ask A Question" page of this blog, or add me in Formspring and ask me there.
