Who ratifies the qualifications of Filipino nurses?

[tonyav]

Whoever is doing the interviewing I should imagine, Daisy.

[DaisyNonna]

What I meant was who ratifies the examinations taken by the nurses?

[tonyav]

Of that I have no idea, Daisy. Hope language doesn't become a problem.

[DaisyNonna]

We have many Filipino nurses here
Language does not seem to be too much of a problem but I worry about how much they actually know about medical matters

[tonyav]

Not just Filipino's, Daisy.

The shortage is being caused by inflated salaries being paid to inexperienced overstaffed Managers who are making these silly decisions.

Bring back Matron.
