Imagine What a Nurse Can Do
The Global Health Workforce Alliance of the World Health Organization created a short video about how nurses (skilled health workers) can affect the entire community and the world.
Follow 'Flo', a skilled health worker who leaves her home in search of a better life. What happens to the people she leaves behind? What would it take to keep her in her own community, saving lives and improving the health of the people there?
In the Philippines more and more skilled 'Flo' are leaving the country leaving behind the health of her people. In contrast, around 250,000 more 'Flo's are retained in the country with no jobs. This video will tell us what would it be like if we invest in our nurses & other health professionals.
A good example of is the passage of House Bill 4244 or the "Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population & Development Act" which will increase the deployment of nurses in local health units to provide sexuality education, health information and RH services. And also Senate Bill 2629 otherwise known as "Community Health Delivery and Health Team Placement Act" which aims to develop community health delivery and health team placement for rural area and improve the accessibility and delivery of primary health services will inevitably create employment for our health care practitioners and hone their skills in the process.

Nurses back lifting of gay blood donation ban
The Royal College of Nursing says it will lobby for the ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood to be lifted.
At the RCN’s annual congress in Liverpool yesterday, 87 per cent of delegates voted for an end to the ban.
Currently, there is a lifetime ban on any man who has had sex with another male.
Last weekend, reports said the government would announce that the blanket ban would be replaced with a ten-year deferral period, which would allow men who had not had gay sex for ten years to donate blood.
HIV charities said they were confused by the reports, as a review of the policy has not yet been completed.
Yesterday’s motion, from the Greater Glasgow branch of the RCN, read: “That this meeting of RCN congress urges council to lobby to remove the exclusion on gay and bisexual men donating blood.”
Theresa Fyffe, RCN Scotland director, said: “Our members have voted to lobby for the ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood to be lifted because it was felt that the current blanket discrimination was unjustified.
“They felt it was important to look at the risk assessment of individual behaviours, not just those of gay and bisexual men. As always patient safety continues to remain a top priority and we do not want to see this compromised in any way.”
Greg Usrey, an RCN member and public health nurse from the Greater Glasgow branch, said:“Obviously we do not want to put the public at risk in any way, but rather, by addressing this blanket ban there is the potential to make use of the untapped resource that is gay and bisexual men.
“People who have engaged in “risky” sexual behaviour can donate blood 12 months after giving up this lifestyle, yet gay men in monogamous relationships are barred for life. I am pleased that RCN members have voted to lobby on this important issue and look forward to it progressing.”
