I am a new nursing student here in the Philippines and I am quite confused with the policies and guidelines on the suspension of hospital duty among nursing students in times of typhoon, and other environmental disasters, because whenever our school declares suspension of classes in all levels, including the tertiary levels, nursing students are still asked to go on with their scheduled hospital duty. Are there any memorandum issued by the Commission on Higher Education or the Philippine Board of Nursing or any nursing organizations stating that nursing students are excluded from suspension of classes during typhoons and other calamities? I am raising this because my parents are just concerned with my safety especially when I am traveling from the hospital to my apartment. Please help...
