Describe How The Philippine Nursing Law Evolve Through Time

The document discusses the evolution of Philippine nursing law over time and compares RA 9173 and RA 7164. RA 9173 states that nursing education programs should provide general and professional foundations for nursing practice and follow regulations set by the Commission on Higher Education. RA 7164 also aims to provide academic and professional foundations but does not specify the department that sets policies for nursing education. A key difference is that RA 9173 specifies CHEd as the sole provider of rules for nursing education.

Unit task:

1. Describe how the Philippine nursing law evolve through time.

- Today, the nursing profession has changed drastically. There are more training
programs, better hospitals, more responsibility, a sense of family, and a focus on patient
care in the nursing industry that has saved lives and created generations of dedicated
medical professionals. Today, nurses must acquire their degrees through a combination
of competency-based and community-oriented courses. The Philippine curriculum has
several advantages compared with those of other Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC) institutions. This kind of education offers much more than a solely skill-based
curriculum can. The four-year requirement to earn a bachelor's degree in nursing meets
the minimum entry requirement for professional nursing practice.

2. Compare and Contrast Ra 9173 and RA 7164

- RA 9173 This act states that the nursing education program should provide general and
professional foundation for the practice of nursing. It also states that all the learning
experiences should follow the regulations and requirements set by Commission on
Higher Education (CHEd) for nursing education.
- RA 7164 This act states that the nursing education should provide sound academic and
professional foundation for the practice of nursing. It did not state the specific
department that should provide policies needed to be used as guide for nursing
education in the Philippines.
- R.A. 7164 as compared to that of R.A. 9173 did not specify the commission on which all
the regulations and requirements can be found. Whereas, RA 9173 specified the CHEd
as the sole provider of the rules and regulations about nursing education. There is also a
significant change on the number of years one should have in the clinical practice, and
the holding of a master’s degree for those wishing to be dean of a university.
