They develop the necessary skills to relate to people, communicate with them at their level, and are constantly engendered to treat patients like their own families. While they have their majors as early as their first years in nursing school, a humanitarian foundation is built on theories, soft sciences, and real experiences.
Filipino nursing schools emphasize research work and community immersion. These activities help students develop skills in technical writing, active reading, and organizational documentation. Internships and community work contribute to how well they cope with varied personalities in real environments later on.
These students are encouraged to delve into other disciplines with the premise that nurses must be well-rounded enough to serve in any scenario and relate with the wide-ranging clientele.
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing curriculum is constantly being updated. Varying from one school to another, most curricula are reviewed and restructured as often as every years.
Long departed from the concept of developing nurses for local employment, these updates are designed to cater to foreign demands and wishes. After all, a large majority of Filipinos who pursue nursing are aiming at careers abroad. But it is increasingly struggling to staff its own wards, where pay is low and conditions poor. Maristela Abenojar, president of Filipino Nurses United, warned more will go unless the government begins large-scale recruitment to ease the pressure on wards, and pays overdue benefits to staff.
The warning comes as cases in the country, one of the worst hit in south-east Asia, continue to rise.

Controversially, tThe government banned healthcare workers from moving to work overseas, halting travel plans of nurses who had spent vast sums of money training, taking tests and obtaining the papers required for working in other countries.
The measure was later replaced with a cap on the number allowed to leave, following fierce protests from nursing groups. The attempt to stop nurses from going abroad marks an abrupt change of policy in the Philippines , said Yasmin Ortiga, assistant professor of sociology at Singapore Management University, who has studied migration trends among Filipino nurses.
Nurses are less likely than other groups, such as domestic workers, to need state protection, and remit significant funds back to the Philippines. Even the medical syllabus taught to students is shaped by the trend for health workers to go abroad. In the second year of her medical degree she learned about rocky mountain spotted fever, which is common in the US, and not in the Philippines.
