hi sorry i couldnt figure out how to reply to your message because im not familiar with the website, so i had to do it this way...

1. How long have you been a nurse?

2. I know you had said there is an oversupply of nursing graduates, do you have enough teachers? that is a problem we have here.

3. Can you please explain what you mean by quantity vs quality education?

4.What is your nurse to patient ratio in the philipines? In chicago which is where i work, we staff based on acuity, in my hospital unit (telemetry) it is about 5 or 6 patients per rn usually its based on how many nurses we have working that day too. but I work on a busy unit with critical patients. but i know here in med surg its different and ususally there are more patients per nurse.

5.what is a call center>

in our unit, there is 1 nurse to 20-25 patients. that is adult med surg.

5.what is a call center>

its where telemarketers work. in some american companies (mostly banks), their costumer support (troubleshooter/ 1-800-number) is in the philippines or other asian country. the costumer support in the phil is called call center
