What do you think is the best solution to the over supply of nurses in our country?

my suggestion is either of the following;

1. Go back to school and learn new things that can be usefull. bsag dli long term course, vocational courses will do.
2. From what youve learn in college and life + your hobbies = Do business.

It's piss poor because the country is also poor. I think you people are getting it the other way around. A country must first become rich before it can have good healthcare for everybody otherwise in the meantime we need to be realistic, we can't afford world-class hospital service for everyone. It's common sense and the classic horse before the cart model. If we fix our economic problems, then we can afford better hospitals. Otherwise where are you going to get the funds to run these extremely expensive high standard hospitals? It's either going to come from budget for equally important stuff like education, roads and other infrastructure or even higher tax rates. We're already the most overtaxed people in Asia, you want more? Please think before asking for impossible things.

We need to be rich first in order to afford expensive things. Practical and simple ideology. Even Cuba which is a communist style dictatorship and has free health care for everyone has pretty crappy hospitals compared to a first-world country.

Your idea of a major overhaul to the healthcare system is unfeasible. I'm not swinging for the fence here. Public hospitals can hire nurses if it wanted to, but why do that when you can have them volunteer for it, and pay for it as well? The money? It just takes a better management of funds by local governments. For instance, why is Gwen parading around and wasting tax money when she can build hospitals/clinics in the province? Why is the city government making it hard for investors to build a hospital in the SRP? Why is it hard for the private sector to help in operating CCMC?

I don't think I have to tell you that the government has the capability to invest in healthcare if it really wanted to. The whole bitter diatribe against corruption is already worn out. You don't need to be rich to know how to subsidize funds wisely.

it's just sad how the government pays less importance in the medical/health field... more jobs for nurses!

Where is the funding going to come from? Be specific. It's a matter of priorities for a cash strapped country. It's delusional to think that there are enough funds for everything when some families can't even eat three square meals a day. Corruption is a reality and ignoring its effects on funding is misguided.

its a sad reality. I bet they may change careers, or invest themselves into something new.

Sorry, I'm a healthcare provider, not an expert in Philippine economy, so can't tell you exactly where the government will get funds, but I did highlight some examples of how growth in healthcare can be spurned. And you just said it yourself: it's a matter of priorities. The government clearly isn't prioritizing healthcare, that's the problem. Nor is it making it easy for investors to build new private hospitals.

it is easy to blame corruption on the current situation that the country is in. corruption, after all, is not very easy to measure though we know very well of its effects. it is tough to pin responsibility on a particular person or institution for corruption, since graft and corruption always happen in a systemic manner, and is always denied by parties accused of it

relying too much on corruption as the root cause of the problem makes us fail to see certain government policies that are quantifiable, and is the direct responsibility of the goverment (since it is a public matter passed in the halls of Congress).

i am talking about the national budget, the clear indication of a government's policies and priorities.

DepEd: 201,497,045,000
