Heart-breaking letter to Pnoy from a registered nurse.
An open letter from a registered nurse named “MutyaRN” to outgoing President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III goes viral on social websites. It was published through the website brightgays.wordpress.com.
The nurse wrote the letter after President Aquino vetoed the bill that would raise the starting salary of nurses and would raise the standards of nursing profession.
The president has rejected the House Bill No. 6411 and Senate Bill No. 2720 entitled “An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Nursing Law Towards Quality Health Care System, and Appropriating Funds Therefor.”
According to MutyaRN, they are not only fighting for the salary increase, but they are also fighting for the dignity that nurses deserve.
“Mr President, this is not only about the salary grade that we are fighting for, this is about the work dignity that the nurses only deserve. We don’t ask for too much, we only begs for the exact, livable amount. We are not corrupt, we care, we love, we understand and we only deserve it.”
MutyaRN enumerated also the struggles of nurses, including the risk of their job, sleepless nights, the urged to work despite calamities and special occasions, while others are having their vacations.
Furthermore, Mutya RN dared the Chief Executive to have himself admitted in a public hospital to “see how cruel your government to nurses is.”
MutyaRN admitted that she was one of the supporters of the president, calling himself a member of “Yellow Army.” She said that her support for the administration has ended after he vetoed the bill.
“At the end, you will know that the last man or woman standing beside your bed is a nurse and not your (kumpare and companeros,) the {nurse} will insert your intravenous catheter, she will tuck your bed, she will wipe your poop, she will give your medications, will clean your wounds, will provide you food, will fight for your rights, will protect you from falls and accidents, even you failed them.”
“Mr. President, I want to close this letter by saying; you have no heart . You have no soul.” she said in conclusion.
The author is just expressing what an RN truly deserves as a government employee which should be comparable to other employees and should commensurate with the kind of service they are giving. I have been a witness of their dedication and I salute them especially those working in the provincial hospitals.
Hindi surplus ang nurse sa pinas, kulang lang, kaya lang ayaw maghire ng nurse..kailangan magtiis ang isang nurse na mag talaga ng 60-100 or more patient sa isang publikong hospital, at 30-50 sa isang prubadong hospital…ano ba ang ideal ratio1:5, kahit 1:10 OK narin.sa community isang rural health unit, isang nurse. Ang rhu ay isa lang sa isang maliit na lungsod, at may more than one sa malaking ciudad,sabihin natin na ang maliit na lungsod may 5000 libo katao…kulang pa rin ang nurse..hayz
May batas sa minimum wage sa nurse na dapat I comply ng hospital at hanngang dun lng ang gobyerno. Nasa bracket yan like teacher..engr..at other professionals. Kung pag bigyan ni PNOY ang nurse papano naman teacher o mga engineer na 10 years na project hire? Lahat talaga magtitiis dahil business must makes sense at lahat ng propsyunal ay patas. Pero d k n dapat bababa sa minimum at kung tanggapin yan pwede magsampa ng kaso. Konting tapang hindi reklamo sa gobyerno. Nung bago ako minimum ako kahit board passer. Tinanggap ko ng walang arte. Tpos contractual daw ako 3 yrs. Yun ang tinutulan ko dahil job match ako. Hinarap ko management sa macros na usap at na probi ako tpos na regular na.
Ang hinihingi lang naman livable salaries, but look at the executives of SSS who earn a whooping monthly salary of close to million or more than a million. Paalis na sya sa position sana naman nag iwan sya ng magandang legacy para sa mga nurses.
Walang puso na Abnoy. Walang respeto sa mga nurses, obviously. No wonder mga nurses sa Pinas naga-abroad for greener pastures. Pero, huwag mawalan ng pag-asa sa bagong Presidente dahil alam niya kung gaano ang pagtratrabaho ng idabg nurse. No doubt about that.
idabg (dapat ang word ay “mga” nurses). Sorry for the misspelled word.
