Oversupply of Nurses as Demand Weakens

Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) continues to be the most enrolled college course in the country. This board exam for example saw over 49 thousand examinees  That does not include those who decided not to take the exam last December but includes those who took the exam again after failure in the past.

There are still many parents and students who believe that there is still big demand for Nurses both locally and abroad.

We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result.
