Personal Reaction:
The NCLEX last July has 37,513 passers. For me, The demand for nurses in the country and abroad these days are not so high. Not like during the year 2000's, nurses that year where in demand abroad. Working as a nurse here in the Philippines is very hard. Especially these days, the prices of the goods today are very high. Having yourself enrolled in a nursing course is very expensive. And I think our nurses should also receive high salaries, because studying and doing medical procedures is not an easy job.

You have nice opinions. However, I would want you to add something that requires your attention. Try also to situate your self in the issue. What if you were one of the passers. Would you render your service in the Philippines or abroad? If you have negative perceptions about nursing employment, would you dare to discourage your friends not to take it up? etc.
Thanks for submitting before the deadline. Keep it up!:D
