Question: You are a consultant to a task force charged with overhauling nursing education and migration practices in the Philippines. You have been asked to recommend short-term and long-term strategies to achieve sustainable improvements in nursing education and to harmonize the nursing-deployment policy with domestic health system needs.
1. Who are your stakeholders, and from whom will you seek perspectives? What questions will you ask each of them?
2. Which issue-explosive growth of programs, declining quality, training of physicians to be nurses-will you address first? How will you engage the labor and health departments to implement your recommendations successfully?
3. What obstacles do you expect to face in this process? What strategies will you use to overcome them?
