I saw it in the news ganina that the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) is very much alarmed regarding today's nurses being abused by hospitals (public & private)...
Kanang uso karon ba nga gitawag nila ug "volunteer"... ok ra man dili sweldo-an ang volunteers kay volunteers gani..hehe Pero ang style sa mga hospitals karon, pabayaron ka para maka-trabaho as a volunteer. Then usually daw if naay mangapply nila as a staff nurse they would just say nga "WALAY BAKANTE" bisan tinud-anay naa. So the result would be mobayad na lang intawn ang applicant aron ma-hire sya as volunteer in order to gain a working experience.
The PNA already has the list of these hospitals nationwide who are practicing this kind of "business" on nurses. But the DOH (Sec. Duque) is strongly denying PNA's statement nga naay public hospital sa Pilipinas nga involved ani.. "Haller!.. Wake up!.. Sa VSMMC pa lang daan..." But he promised to order an investigation on the gov't hospitals that are included in the PNA's list. The Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines will also make their own investigation on their members and will implement necessary sanctions.

at the end of the day I hope their investigation would ensue better welfare to all nurses, employed & unemployed alike.![]()
