i heard this morning that the government is prohibiting the hospitals to accept volunteer nurses due to its overcrowding..and also that some of the hospitals are taking advantage of the situation wherein they require the nurses to pay certain amount so that they will be accepted as volunteers...don't you find it really wrong??? because as we all know volunteering should be free! but not for our poor nurses here in the philippines.... what is your stand on this issue???? share your views...

This is really madness..I also heard about this news.
The government should stopped schools for teaching nurses for the meantime since the government cannot give them job not even private sector/hospital has enough job to offer fro our nurses.
They should stopped nurses courses from different schools for the meantime...it's not only the graduates that suffers but the parents who pays their tuition fees.

i agree...they should stop enrollments of this course for the meantime... so that those who already graduated will be given the chance to look for jobs that suits them....and through this also, they will stop adding the population of unemployed fresh graduates...

Schools are producing lots of nursing graduates resulting to the oversupply of nurses. Yes I do agree to temporarily stop accepting the nursing enrollees for a few years so that the country will cater first the unemployed ones.
