CONTINUATION OF DELIBERATION ON HB 2092 (AN ACT REQUIRING
INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION TO DISCLOSE PARTICIPATION AND

PROGRAM SUPPORT EXPENDITURES IN COLLEGE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS by
REP. SAMBAR)

Prior to approving the substitute bill to HB 2092, Rep. Piamonte proposed that under
Section 4 of the bill, on the submission of the annual report, CHED should prepare a
standardized format of data that will include all the basic information needed so that they
can easily tally and make the consolidated report. He also asked that all Members
present be made as co-authors of the bill. The Chair then motioned to approve the
substitute bill, seconded by Rep. Teves, and gave instructions to the Secretariat to
prepare the Committee Report subject to the changes proposed by Rep. Piamonte

INITIAL DELIBERATION ON HR 162 (RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE COMMITTEE
ON HIGHER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION TO INQUIRE INTO THE PROBLEMS
AFFECTING NURSING GRADUATES, NURSING STUDENTS AND NURSING
SCHOOLS by REP. ALCALA) AND HR 434 (RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE


COMMITTEE ON HIGHER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION TO CONDUCT AN

___INQUIRY,_IN_AID_OF LEGISLATION, ON THE FEES_CHARGED BY HOSPITALS ON _.
NURSING STUDENTS FOR THEIR ON-THE-JOB TRAINING AND-OTHER SIMILAR
INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS by REP. PALATINO)

The Chair suggested tackling the two resolutions together since one is of a
general nature and the other is of a specific nature.

‘After stating the salient points in his resolution, Rep. Alcala thanked the
Committee for giving the time to hear out the issues affecting the nursing education,
emphasizing that the proliferation of unemployed nursing graduates is a problem that
affects the whole country. In fact, he said that even President Aquino mentioned this in

his SONA speech.

Rep. Palatino, for his part, said that his resolution is about “volunteerism for a fee”
program, He explained that there are certain hospitals and schools that allegedly charge
excessive fees to nursing graduates and students for their intemship programs where
they render actual work. In fact, he claimed that many students have approached his
office complaining about the excessive fees being charged by certain hospitals. Some of
these fees are the related learning experience (RLE) fee, affiliation fee, the fees that
some hospitals charge for their clinical instructors, and that the students are required to

bring their own gloves and syringe during their training,

In line with this, Rep. Palatino inquired whether the CHED is aware of this practice
by some hospitals of collecting excessive fees and whether the CHED has any plans of
regulating the collection of miscellaneous fees. He likewise asked representatives of the
different nursing organizations of their plans to improve the welfare of nursing students
and graduates. He pointed out that the proliferation of many nursing schools in the
country, but with only a few hospitals, allow some hospitals to implement programs which

are not beneficial to nursing students.

Replying to Rep. Palatino’s queries, Ms. Florendo informed the Body that CHED,
together with the Technical Pane! members for the health profession, has already drafted
a Set of guidelines that would standardize the affiliation fees and other charges. However,
she said that it would still be subjected to @ public hearing, and that they are hoping to

have it done within the next 6 months.

Reacting to Ms. Florendo's information, Rep. Alcala lamented that 6 months is too
long of a time for the CHED to come up with a set of guidelines, considering that the new
school year will start in June. He then urged the agency to fast-track the conduct of the

public hearing

On Rep. Palatino's query on the number of nursing schools operating in the
country today, Ms. Florendo replied that currently, there are a total of 491 nursing
institutions nationwide, both private and public. But in 2010, she said that the CHED
issued @ moratorium on the opening of undergraduate and graduate programs which the
CHED believes are oversubscribed, and these include nursing.

For their part, Atty. Bu Castro disclosed that the PHA and the PHAP have already
directed all its members to defer for the meantime the conduct of volunteer training until a

zh


set of guidelines has been approved for implementation. He also apprised the Committee
of PHA’s and PHAP’s proposal to sit down with the PNA, NSAP, ADPCN, DOH and
CHED to craft the following: 1) 4 Mmedure tor training of nurses, both undergraduates-and——————
graduates, which contain the content of the training itself, the determination of the level of
competence of each of the undergraduates and fresh graduates, costing of the training,
the compensation of nurse trainers, and the limitations of hospitals in accepting trainees;
and 2) the creation of a council that will oversee and supervise the training programs to

be crafted according to the module suggested

Meanwhile, Ms. Elizabeth Roxas of the ADPCN expressed her appreciation to the
authors for showing their concem on the issues confronting nursing students. With
regards to the RLE program of students, she clarified that the hospital is not the only
setting where students may be subjected to RLE exposure. They may do it in the
community, she said, where they can focus on providing primary health care to the
community, or to schools, where they can provide health services to school children.

On the arrangement of schools with respect to RLE exposure in hospitals, Ms.
Roxas stated that they are guided by CMO 14 which is the new standard for nursing
education issued by the CHED. She explained that schools in a certain region utilize
hospitals or health facilities as base hospitals for the RLE exposure of their students,
provided that these hospitals have a 100-bed capacity, These base hospitals are usually
located in the region where the nursing school is located. As a reply to a query of the
Chair if it will not be a disadvantage to students who come from regions where there are
no hospitals, Ms. Roxas said that once a nursing school is allowed to open, part of the
guidelines is that the school must have an afiliating agency where the students can have
their RLE exposure. This was confirmed by Ms. Florendo, saying that as part of the
assessment that they conduct, they also evaluate the base hospital where the school will

be sending their students for training,

At this point, Rep. Dalog inquired on whether hospitals follow guidelines on the
charging of affiliation fees. Ms. Linda Buhat of the ANSAP replied that the DOH has an
existing Administrative Order on how much should be charged on affiliation fees. But
since the AO is outdated, she admitted that most hospitals charge more than what the

DOH has required

As a follow-up question, Rep. Dalog asked if there is @ basis on the charging of
volunteerism fee. Ms. Teresita Barcelo of the PNA answered that this is really the issue
which they in the PNA actually oppose. She argued that the practice of charging fees to
volunteer nurses for rendering an 8-hour regular staff work without even an allowance
runs counter to RA 9418, or the Volunteer Act. Under this law, she stated that volunteers
are not charged but are instead given incentives and allowances. In view of this matter,
Rep. Dalog urged the Body to put a stop to this practice the soonest possible time.

In connection with this, Ms. Ruth Padilla of the DOH opined that the student may
have confused volunteerism with attending a training program where they are required to
pay a training fee conducted in the institution where they volunteered. She mentioned
that in some of the reports submitted to them by the Alliance of Young Nurses, there were
nurses who volunteered their services in an institution and at the same time attended a
training program in the same institution where they were required to pay. She said that


the fees that they are referring to might be the training fees that they are paying for
attending a training program in that institution.

‘She, however, asked the Committee enough time for the DOH to evaluate and
investigate the allegations. In fact, she said, the DOH Secretary has already formed a
Fact-Finding Committee to gather all the evidences. She also assured everyone that the
DOH is willing to address the problem, adding that the problem of having an oversupply
of nurses may have driven some to volunteer their services. She reported that based on
the figures submitted by the PNA as of December 2010, there are currently 160,000
unemployed nurses, excluding those who pessed the December 2010 Board Exams. She
promised to furnish the Committee with the result of their investigation and their

recommendations,

At this juncture, Rep. Teves suggested checking if there are ordinances
supporting such collection of fees, since many hospitals are being run by local

government units.

As to the plans on improving nursing education, Ms. Roxas conveyed to the Body
that their faculty members regularly undergo training and re-training on the different
expertise that they are teaching, adding that they strictly implement the required master’s
degree in nursing. She also stated that their organization is of the same opinion with
CHED on the issue of moratorium and the importance of compliance with policies and
standards, emphasizing on the need for @ well-planned RLE program.

For her part, Dr. Divinagracia of the CHED Technical Panel on Nursing Education,
stressed that the nursing program is a community-oriented competency-based
curriculum, that is why students are exposed both in the hospital and community settings,
On the number of hours the students are spending vis-a-vis the RLEs, she explained that
the total RLE exposure of students in terms of units is 46 RL unit exposure which is
equivalent to 2,348 hours, with 60% spent in the hospitals and 40% in the community.

Rep. Teves agreed with Ms. Roxas that the RLE program must be well-planned
and well-managed. He then advised CHED to be very strict in monitoring the RLE

program

Ms. Florendo noted that the CHED Chair has already instructed to do an
extensive monitoring of all existing higher education institutions (HEIs) in the country. She
mentioned that they are currently making a list of all HEIs based on their licensure
performance over the past 3 to 5 years.

Meanwhile, NUSP’s Ms. Vanessa Bolibo! lauded the filing of the 2 resolutions.
She likewise expressed hope that the guidelines be implemented before the start of the

school year.

Responding on a question by Rep. Piamonte on the average passing rate of
examinees, PRC Chair Teresita Manzala answered that last December 2010's passing
rate is 35.25%, the lowest since the licensure exam for nurses began. She said that there
were 84,000 examinees, with 41,000 first timers and 43,000 repeaters and out of the
84,000 examinees, only 29,000 passed. She promised to submit an assessment report of


the different HEIs that have been consistently getting a low passing average in the Board

exams.

‘At this point, the Chair requested the different agencies and organizations present
to submit their respective position papers on the matter, taking into account all the issues
presented such as their plans on how to improve the quality of schools, the mismatch
between the rural health needs of the public vis-a-vis the supply of nurses, and what to
do with the many unemployed nurses. He also instructed the CHED to fumish the
Committee with a draft of the guidelines on the standardization of fees, as well as a
complete listing and information on the 491 nursing HEIs, both public and private,
whether they represent the SUCs or the LGUs and a geographical data of each school.
He also asked for data on the low-performing and non-performing schools, how many
schools have been given waming or ordered to phase-out, and to include whether the
schools are accredited by any agency. Finally, he asked the ADPCN for a complete list of

its members.
Rep. Padilla, meanwhile, presented to the Committee a news article about a
volunteer nurse who died while on duty. He urged the Committee to investigate on the

matter, Since the article was written in the llocano dialect, the Chair asked Rep. Padilla to
fumish the Body with a copy and then have it translated for it to be discussed in the next

meeting

Due to time constraints, the Chair deferred further discussions on the topic until
the next meeting. There being no other matters to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at

12:18 PM.
