Eased criteria for nursing diplomas could compromise quality, says union

Thats the reason why our VVIP opt to seek medical help in other country.

What is Malaysia famous for ? Reducing the quality of education by diminishing English, eliminating PSR, PMR, saving terrorists Palestinians and what have you. Now it's the end of nursing quality as with the endemic, low grade MARA grads who are not fit to enter tertiary level education ! This is why we have 10,000 PhD holders who don't know the difference between a Wong and Lim and Malaysia Airlines planes getting screwed when handled by FELDA boys as maintenance engineers. When there is no meritocracy, this is what happens. Just take a look at our neighbor Singapore !

Unwise if not hilarious suggestion to lowering entry requirements. Unless the duration and content of training is to be revised. Especially considering much speculation that the general standards of education needs initiatives to improve quality. Myopic approaches to standards of education and quality could have adverse consequences. If it’s not already happening. Levelling downwards for any reasons is not going to help development in the long term. A useful consideration would be to extend duration of training, ensure quality of content and qualification of trainers and have a rigorous training schedule .

dah byk round buat dalam sektor pendidikan, berapa banyak murid sekolah suffered incompetent teachers – now nak buat kt nurse pula.
add more work hours – xcakap bab quality, lower the barrier of entry kata takut quality jatuh. i don't think people get your train of thoughts.
what about the current quality? for years people have been saying things because things did happen. gossips and hearsay always starts with truth to then gradually distorted as it moves. even today's intern get that. pengarah2 kat dalam get that or not? or is it the practice of bincang antara boss tapi tak libat pekerja? macam buat product and services without involving users enough. ask former corporate people yg join the gov, they can pinpoint these issues – but are you utilizing them? i don't think so.
i bet they don't gather feedback and reviews from people who suffered the incompetences and the gov just crutch on the low fee to save their face and protect their dignity.
what is next? asking the public to be grateful? is that the solution? when GE is coming, you need to show good numbers on employment, welfare,etc. you will do it again, absorb those who do not want to be there in the first place. moving forward, you will then preach about good governance, professionalism and inclusive approach – no wonder we got brain drain issues
when the public gets mad, you find scapegoats to make headlines, then you go back to your old ways until the next crisis. bro, what a predictable incompetence

As someone who is in the field, the gov is just lowering the entry requirement. Student nurses still have to go through 3 years of diploma to learn the basic skills to be a competent nurse. And in each semester, student nurses have to achieve a certain amount of skill (kinda like a logbook) in order to progress to the next sem.

Our country needs more nurses. Currently most of our nurses are working double shift. As in if they're working the morning shift and in the afternoon, there's not enough staff, they have to work until afternoon. Which can lead to burnout fast. More nurses can help reduce the burnout for our current nurses.

If they go on with this 3 credits as pre-requites for nursing programs, hospital and clinic patients will be the victims. Before this, nursing graduates especially malay ones were dull and lack knowledge bcos lecturers helped them a lot by giving them grades they did not merit. And this has led to too many avoidable deaths of patients due negligence. Why not open the door for foreign nurses to fill the vacancy instead?

That's utterly shocking that the health minister is willing to lower the standards for enrollment for nurses. Already there bumbling nursing staff that endanger human life, now further lowering it's enrollment standards??? What utter stupidity, I'm shocked that this could come from Dr Zulkifi. Oh My goodness, what level of stupidity is this?????

That’s very hair raising especially lowering standards in the health industry where lives are at stake. Syabas Malaysia

Ppl moving forward , malaysia moving backwards. GG Malaysia is a joke..like their education system

Better lower till Form 1 – education will do. What a SHIT Mentality ! Alrdy our Education system very low compared with our countries – and now suggesting this matter. Alrdy Science & Maths SPM marking standard very low . Very Smart Idea. This is why – alot of civil servants esp in technical dept does not knows their work at all – I can say ZERO. Most of them only pretends – but if you ask them any questions then – Cant Answer !
