Nurses’ group opposes
practical nursing program
|
|
The Philippine Nurses Association (PNA), an
umbrella organization of individual and various nursing groups in
the country, is opposing the institutionalization of practical
nursing (PN) in the country, and its insertion by the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED) through a proposed ladderization of the
nursing curriculum.
The nurses’ group, whose members and chapters
can be found in all parts of the globe, is proposing instead that a
moratorium on the operation of existing practical nursing programs
be imposed, and a serious review of the program be undertaken to
protect the profession and its practitioners.
