A recruitment expert on Sunday expressed concern at the prospect of no work for some of the 95,000 nursing graduates who may pass the licensure examination currently being administered
by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) in selected public and private schools nationwide.
The second phase of the nursing board is set from Nov. 29 to Nov. 30 in 16 regions across the country. The first part was held last June.
“I pity the 95,000 nursing graduates who are poised to take the nursing licensure. Those who
pass will join the more than 200,000 unemployed board passers whose experience are volunteer
nursing or call center agents or crew in fastfood outlets,’’ said Lito Soriano, executive director of the Federated Association of Manpower Exporters and former president of the Philippine Association of Service ExportersInc. (PASEI).
