SUBJECT ORIENTATION Your classroom instructor for this subject, Leadership and Management (with Professional Adjustment), is ____________________________. Your instructor will discuss to you the grading system, guidelines and policies. MAIN LESSON PROFESSION - an occupation or calling requiring advanced training and experience in some specific or specialized body of knowledge which provides service to society in that special field. CRITERIA OF A PROFESSION (According to William Shepard) 1. A profession must satisfy an indispensable social need and must be based upon well established and socially accepted scientific principles. 2. It must demand adequate pre-professional and cultural training. 3. It must demand the possession of a body of specialized and systematized training. 4. It must give evidence of needed skills which the public does not possess; that is, skills which are partly inherent and partly acquired. 5. It must have developed a scientific technique which is the result of tested experience. 6. It must require the exercise of discretion and judgment as to time and manner of the performance of duty. This is in contrast to the kind of work which is subject to standardization in terms of unit performance or time element. 7. It must have a group of consciousness designed to extend scientific knowledge in technical language. 8. It must have sufficient self-impelling power to retain its members throughout life. It must not be used as a mere stepping stone to other occupations. 9. It must recognize its obligations to society by insisting that its members live up to an established code of ethics. QUALITIES OF A PROFESSION (Cited by Flexner and other authors) 1. A profession applies its body of knowledge in practical services that are vital to human welfare, and especially suited to the tradition of seasoned practitioners shaping the skills of newcomers to the role. 2. It constantly enlarges the body of knowledge it uses and subsequently imposes on its members a lifelong obligation to remain current in order to “do no harm”. 3. A profession functions autonomously (with authority) in the formulation of professional policy and in monitoring its practice and practitioners. 4. It utilizes in its practice a well-defined and well-organized body of knowledge that is intellectual in nature and describes its phenomena of concern. This document and the information thereon is the property of PHINMA Education (Department of Nursing) 1 of 7 5. A profession has a clear standard of educational preparation for entry into practice. 6. A profession is distinguished by the presence of specific culture, norms, and other values that are common among its members. Genevieve K. and Roy W. Bixler also state that a profession 1. Utilizes in its practice a well-defined and well-organized body of specialized knowledge which is on the intellectual level of higher learning; 2. Constantly enlarges the body of knowledge it uses, and improves its technique of education and service by the use of scientific method; 3. Entrusts the education of its practitioners to institutions of higher education; 4. Applies its body of knowledge in practical services which are vital to human and social welfare; 5. Functions autonomously in the formulation of professional policy and in the control of professional activity; 6. Attracts individuals of intellectual and personal qualities who exalt service above personal gain and who recognize their chosen occupation as a life work; and 7. Strives to compensate its practitioners by providing freedom to act on opportunity for continuous professional growth, and economic security. DEFINITION OF A PROFESSIONAL NURSE - A professional nurse is a person who has completed a basic nursing education program and is licensed in his/her country or state to practice professional nursing. MEANING OF PROFESSIONAL NURSING - The Philippine Nursing Act of 1991 (R.A. 7164) has been repealed by the Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 (R.A. 9173).

BASIC EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM IN NURSING Until 1983, there was only one basic educational program in nursing - the four-year collegiate degree program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The basic three-year hospital-based program leading to the title Graduate in Nursing was phased out. It is to be noted, however, that revision of this program continues as seen fit by the Council of Deans, the Philippine Colleges of Nursing, the Commission on Higher Education, and nursing practitioners. Colleges may also add courses that will enrich their curriculum. However, effective School Year 1998-1999, the curriculum for the common two-year Associate in Health Science Education (ASHE) was enforced. THE BSN CURRICULUM The four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program offers a competency-based community oriented curriculum to educate future nurse practitioners to assume their roles and responsibilities in the Philippine Health Care System. It aims to prepare nurses for entry level positions in any healthcare setting in the country, I.e., hospitals, clinics, healthcare centers, homes, and communities. Specifically, the end-of-program competencies, also referred to as terminal competencies, expect a graduate to 1. Utilize the nursing process in the care of individuals, families, and community by 1.1. Assessing the client’s healthcare status, 1.2. Planning with client and/or significant others the nursing action based on identified needs and problems, 1.3. Implementing appropriate nursing interventions (wholly compensatory, partially compensatory, supportive, educative), 1.4. Modifying interventions, and 1.5. Evaluating the results of nursing interventions accordingly based on criteria established; 2. Communicate effectively at all levels of healthcare in various settings by 2.1. Applying “therapeutic use of self’, 2.2. Documenting and reporting observations, responses to nursing actions, and 2.3. Relating with clients, families, communities, and groups and members of health team; 3. Utilize the elements of management in any healthcare setting by 3.1. Utilizing management process in the delivery of healthcare, 3.2. Participating in the formulation and implementation of policies, and 3.3. Working independently and/or in collaboration with others on matters promoting a better quality of life; 4. Utilize research findings in the care of clients; and 5. Assume responsibility for personal and professional growth and development by 5.1. Promoting professional and personal growth, 5.2. Accepting accountability for professional action, and 5.3. Participating in the solution of health/social problems. Overall, the BSN program intends to produce a professional nurse who demonstrate the following behaviors: 1. Caring behavior (compassionate, competent and committed); 2. Ability to practice legal, ethico-moral, social responsibilities/accountabilities; 3. Critical and creative thinking; and Skill in practicing S-K-A and values for the promotion of health, prevention of illness, restoration of health, alleviation of suffering; assisting clients to face death with dignity and peace.

Understand the concepts of due process. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW Based on the previous lesson, define profession, professional nurse and enumerate the qualifications and abilities of a professional nurse. MAIN LESSON DEFINITION OF LICENSE A license is a legal document given by the government that permits a person to offer to the public his or her skills and knowledge in a particular jurisdiction, where such practice would otherwise be unlawful without a license. The license to practice nursing is granted by the appropriate authority to applicants or candidates who have fulfilled certain established requirements. Such a license permits the nurse to practice within the country or state and gives him/her the privilege of representing herself/himself as a licensed nurse. The appropriate authority to administer, implement, and enforce the regulatory policies of government with respect to the regulation and licensing of the various professions and occupations under its jurisdictions is the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). Need for Licensure The primary purpose of registration is to protect the health of the people by establishing minimum standards which qualified practitioners must meet. Licensure discourages certain persons who may be tempted to misinterpret themselves as nurses. It is the most important tool for legal control and enforcement of nursing practice. It is also used to gather statistical data about nurses and nursing in the country. DEFINITION OF REGISTRATION Registration is the recording of names of persons who have qualified under the law to practice their respective professions. Nurses’ names are recorder in a registry or registration book which contains the following information: 1. Full name of registrant; 2. Number and date of registration; This document and the information thereon is the property of PHINMA Education (Department of Nursing) 1 of 9 3. Age, sex and place of birth; 4. Place of business; 5. Post office address; 6. Name of school, college or university from which he or she graduated or in which he or she has studied; 7. Date of such graduation or term of study, together with the time spent in the study of the profession elsewhere, if any; and 8. All other degrees granted to him or her from other institutions of learning. A certificate of registration is issued by the PRC to show such qualification. Registration Required Under the Philippine Nursing Act of 2002, R.A. 9173, Sections 12 and 20 state that license to practice nursing shall be issued to those who pass the licensure examination or by reciprocity. REGISTRATION BY RECIPROCITY (R.A. 9173, SEC. 20) Reciprocity means mutuality in the grant and enjoyment of privileges between persons or nations. As applied to the professions, it is a relation established by law, treaty or agreement between two countries or states, whereby each country or state grants to citizens of each other, the privilege of being admitted to the practice of the profession within their respective territorial jurisdictions. Reciprocity is based on the principle of “do ut des” which means that for a country to expect a favor from another, it should be willing to give a corresponding favor. SEC. 20. Registration by Reciprocity. — A certificate of registration/professional license may be issued without examination to nurses registered under the laws of a foreign state or country: Provided, That the requirements for registration or licensing of nurses in said country are substantially the same as those prescribed under this Act: Provided, further, That the laws of such state or country grant the same privileges to registered nurses of the Philippines on the same basis as the subjects or citizens of such foreign state or country. Specifically, these provisions are explained thus: 1. Nurses registered in the Philippines desiring to practice in said foreign state or country are granted under its laws the same privileges as those accorded to its subjects or citizens and as are enforced by them. Proof of such reciprocity may be verified from the Department of Foreign Affairs; 2. The applicant is a nurse registered under the law of her/his state or country; 3. The requirements for registration or licensing of nurses in a foreign country where the applicant is registered as nurse are substantially the same as those prescribed under this Act; and 4. The applicant has resided in the Philippines for at least three consecutive years as provided by R.A. 5181. Applicants for registration as nurses by reciprocity shall present to the Board of Nursing a properly completed application on the prescribed form, together with their respective certificates of registration as nurse granted by their state or country. In addition, the following shall be attached: a. a certification from the Commission on Immigration and Deportation stating that they have been residents of the Philippines for at least three (3) years prior to registration; b. A copy of the law or petition thereof showing reciprocal practice with the Philippines; and c. A copy of their officially approved Bachelor of Science in Nursing curriculum. SEC. 21. Practice Through Special/Temporary Permit. A special/temporary permit may be issued by the Board to the following persons subject to the approval of the Commission and upon payment of the prescribed fees: (a) Licensed nurses from foreign countries/states whose service are either for a fee or free if they are internationally well-known specialists or outstanding experts in any branch or specialty of nursing; (b) Licensed nurses from foreign countries/states on medical mission whose services shall be free in a particular hospital, center or clinic; and (c) Licensed nurses from foreign countries/states employed by schools/colleges of nursing as exchange professors in a branch or specialty of nursing; Provided, however, That the special/temporary permit shall be effective only for the duration of the project, medical mission or employment contract. REGISTRATION BY EXAMINATION A. Examination and Registration SEC. 12. Licensure Examination. — All applicants for registration as a nurse and issuance of a certificate of registration and professional identification card to practice nursing shall be required to pass a written examination which shall be given by the Board in such places and dates as maybe designated by the Commission: Such examination must be in accordance with and fully compliant with RA No. 8981, otherwise known as the “PRC Modernization Act of 2000.” SEC. 13. Qualifications for Admission to the Licensure Examination. In order to be admitted to the examination for nurses, an applicant must, at the time of filing his/her application, establish to the satisfaction of the Board he or she This document and the information thereon is the property of PHINMA Education (Department of Nursing) 2 of 9 (a) Is a citizen of the Philippines, or a citizen or subject of a country which permits Filipino nurses to practice within its territorial limits on the same basis as the subject or citizen of such country: Provided, That the requirements for the registration or licensing of nurses in said country are substantially the same as those prescribed in this Act; (b) Is of good moral character; and (c) Is a holder of a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from a college or university that complies with the standards of nursing education duly recognized by the proper government agency. B. Requirements for Examination For purposes of applying for the nursing licensure examination, the following documents are required of each applicant: 1. Original transcript of records with Special Order from the Department of education, Culture and Sports unless he/she is a graduate of a level II accredited nursing program; 2. For state colleges and universities, original transcript of records with date of graduation; 3. Record of actual related learning experiences for the entire Bachelor of Science in Nursing program duly signed by the Chief Nurse of the hospital or her duly authorized representative in addition to that of the Dean of the nursing school and the clinical instructor; 4. Actual number of operating room scrubs and deliveries assisted, signed by the Chief Nurse or her duly authorized representative in addition to that of the Dean of the nursing school and the clinical instructor; 5. Where applicable: a. Birth Certificate; b. Marriage Certificate; c. Alien Certificate of Naturalization, and d. Clearance showing dismissal of case from the Court of Prosecutor’s Office, if any. The application form, together with the requirements, should be filed at the Professional Regulation Commission ten (10) days prior to the first day of examination. C. Fees for Examination and Registration Applicants for licensure and for registration shall pay prescribed fees set by the Commission. D. Scope of Examination SEC. 14. Scope of Examination. — The scope of the examination for the practice of nursing in the Philippines shall be determined by the Board. The Board shall take into consideration the objectives of the nursing curriculum, the broad areas of nursing, and other related disciplines and competencies in determining the subjects of examinations. Since May 1994, an integrated comprehensive nursing licensure examination has been designed to better measure the level of competence or proficiency rather than the compartmentalized subject area examination. It cuts across clinical nursing areas where examinees answer questions that necessitate recognition and understanding of concepts, theories, and principles as well as the skills and attitudes involved in a given test problem situation. It draws knowledge from the five broad areas of nursing - Fundamentals of Nursing; Maternal and Child Nursing; Community Health Nursing; Nursing of Adolescents, Adults, and Aged; and Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing, including Physiology and Anatomy, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Microbiology and Diet Therapy. The examination shall be divided into four parts organized around four major goals in nursing: promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative. E. Citizenship Requirements The following are citizens of the Philippines as per Article IV Section 1-5 of the 1987 Philippines Constitution. Section 1. (1) Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of the Constitution; (2) Those who elect Philippine citizenship pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of 1935. Section 2. A female citizen of the Philippines who marries an alien shall retain her Philippine citizenship, unless by her act or omission she is deemed, under the law, to have renounced her citizenship. Section 3. Philippine citizenship may be lost or reacquired in the manner provided for by law. Section 4. A natural-born citizen is one who is a citizen of the Philippines from birth without having to perform any act to acquire or perfect the Philippine citizenship. In jus sanguinis doctrine, the nationality of a person is determined by the law of his descent or parentage; the child follows the citizenship of his father. In jus soli doctrine, the nationality of a person is determined by the law of the place of his birth; the child born in a foreign country, whatever may be the citizenship of the father, is a citizen of that country. Naturalization is the act of adopting a foreigner and giving him the privileges of a native citizen. F. Rating of the Nursing Licensure Examination SEC. 15. Ratings. — In order to pass the examination, an examinee must obtain a general average of at least seventy-five percent (75%) with a rating of not below sixty percent (60%) in any subject. An examinee who obtains an average rating of seventy-five percent (75%) or higher but gets a rating below sixty percent (60%) in any subject must take the examination again but only in the subject or subjects where he/she is rated below sixty percent (60%). In order to pass This document and the information thereon is the property of PHINMA Education (Department of Nursing) 3 of 9 the succeeding examination, an examinee must obtain a rating of at least seventy-five percent (75%) in the subject or subjects repeated. Renewal examination shall be taken within two years after the last failed examination. Reconsideration of Ratings. Requests for reconsideration of ratings may be entertained only on grounds of mechanical, clerical or clear errors; or if it is conclusively shown that there had been malfeasance in the rating of papers. Such requests should be filed with the Commission within ninety (90) days from the date of the official release of the examination results. It is only after the review of the test papers that the examinee shall file the request for reconsideration in accordance with the aforecited provision. OATH-TAKING OF NURSES Oath All successful candidates in the examination shall be required to take an oath of profession before the Board or any government official authorized to administer oaths prior to entering the nursing practice. The schedule of mass oath-taking (date and place) is within fifteen days upon the release of the results of the licensure examination, which is included in a press release by the Professional Regulation Commission. The professional oath includes a pledge to support and defend the Constitution, bear true faith and allegiance to the same, obey the laws, legal orders and decrees promulgated by the duly constituted authorities of the Philippines and adherence to the ethical and professional standards of nursing. The Commission, during the mass oath-taking, is assisted by the accredited professional organization. At this time, the nurses are included as new members of their professional organization. Oath of Professional Nurses I, _______________ of _____________ hereby solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the Philippines; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will obey the laws, legal orders, and executive orders promulgated by the duly constituted authorities of the Republic of the Philippines; and that I impose this obligation upon myself voluntarily, without mental reservation or purpose of evasion. I further solemnly swear that at all times and places I will adhere closely to the ethical and professional rules generally accepted by the Nursing Profession in the Philippines, and that I will well and faithfully discharge to the best of my ability the duties and obligations incumbent upon a legally authorized nurse practitioner. So help me God. Issuance of Certificate of Registration/Professional License and Professional Identification Card A certificate of registration/professional license as a nurse shall be issued to an applicant who passes the examination upon payment of the prescribed fees. Every certificate of registration/professional license shall show the full name of registrant, the serial number, the signature of the Chairperson of the Commission and of the Members of the Board, and the official seal of the Commission. A professional identification card, duly signed by the Chairperson of the Commission, bearing the date of registration, license number and the date of issuance and expiration thereof shall likewise be issued to every registrant upon payment of the required fees. ANNUAL REGISTRATION Every practicing professional or practitioner of the occupations regulated by the Professional Regulation Commission shall pay fee for three (3) years which shall be paid on the professional’s birth month. Should a professional fail to pay the annual registration fee on his/her birth month on the expiry year that it is due, a surcharge of twenty percent shall be charged and for each calendar year thereafter that payment has not been made. It after a lapse of five continuous years from the year it was last paid the annual registration fee has never been paid, the delinquent’s certificate of registration shall be considered suspended and the practitioner’s name shall be dropped from the annual roster for not having been in good standing. The professional may be reinstated only upon application and payment of the required fee provided for registration as nurse without examination. Should a register nurse practitioner desire to stop practicing his/her profession, he/she should inform the Board concerned in writing within one year from the time that he/she stopped practicing in order to exempt him/her from the payment of annual registration fee. Should he/she intend to resume practice his/her name shall be reinstated in the annual roster. This document and the information thereon is the property of PHINMA Education (Department of Nursing) 4 of 9  The annual registration card, at least for the calendar year immediately preceding, shall be presented to the collection agent of the Bureau of Internal Revenue when paying his/her professional tax. The registration number, date of issuance, and the year shown on the card shall be indicated on the official receipt as evidence that the payor is authorized by law to practice the profession. Automatic Registration of Nurses All nurses whose names appear at the roster of nurses shall be automatically or ipso facto registered as nurses under this Act upon its effectivity. Non-registration and Non-issuance of Certificates of Registration/Professional License of Special/Temporary Permit No person convicted by final judgement of any criminal offense involving moral turpitude or any person guilty of immoral or dishonorable conduct or any person declared by the court to be of unsound mind shall be registered and issued a certificate of registration/professional license or a special/temporary permit. The board shall furnish the applicant a written statement setting forth the reasons for its actions, which shall be incorporated in the records of the Board. RENEWAL OF THE NURSE’S LICENSE Every registered nurse shall renew his/her license every three years with the Professional Regulation Commission on the form prescribed, not later than the due date indicated in the Professional Regulation Commission license card and pay the prescribed fee. PRC Resolution Number 20047-179 series of 2004 entitled “Standardized Guidelines and Procedures for the Implementation of the Continuing Professional Education Professionals” requires that the total CPE credits for registered professionals with a Baccalaureate Degree shall be sixty (60) credits for three year. Any excess credits earned shall not be carried over to the next three-year period except for doctoral and masteral degrees. REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION OF CERTIFICATES OF REGISTRATION The license to practice nursing is not a permanent or vested right since it may be granted upon condition and it may be held subject to conditions. If these conditions are breached or violated, the authority that issues such may revoke this license. A license cannot be revoked arbitrarily, it can only be revoked for special causes. As provided by the Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 R.A. 9173, Section 23, the Nursing Board of the Professional Regulation Commission shall have the power to revoke or suspend the certificate or registration/professional license or cancel the special/temporary permit of a nurse upon any of the following grounds: (a) For any of the causes mentioned in Section 22 of RA 9173; (b) For unprofessional and unethical conduct; (c) For gross incompetence or serious ignorance; (d) For malpractice or negligence in the practice of nursing; (e) For the use of fraud, deceit, or false statements in obtaining a certificate of registration/professional license or a temporary/special permit; (f) For violation of this Act, the implementing rules and regulations, Code of Ethics for nurses and Code of Technical Standards for nursing practice, policies of the Board and the Commission, or the conditions and limitations for the issuance of the temporary/special permit; or (g) For practicing his/her profession during his/her suspension from such practice; Provided, however, That the suspension of the certificate of registration/professional license shall be for a period not exceeding four (4) years. RE-ISSUANCE OF REVOKED CERTIFICATES SEC. 24. Re-issuance of Revoked Certificates and Replacement of Lost Certificates. The Board may, after the expiration of a maximum of four (4) years from the date of revocation of a certificate, for reasons of equity and justice and when the cause for revocation has disappeared or has been cured and corrected, upon proper application therefor and the payment of the required fees, issue another copy of the certificate of registration/professional license. A new certificate of registration/professional license to replace the certificate that has been lost, destroyed or mutilated may be issued, subject to the rules of the Board. Suspension means that the nurse is not allowed to practice temporarily until final judgement of the case against him or her is rendered. The license is not confiscated. On the other hand, revocation means that the license to practice is confiscated either temporarily or permanently.

DUE PROCESS OF LAW Concepts of Due Process Under the Bill of Rights provided in the Constitution of the Philippines, “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law nor shall any person be denied equal protection of the laws. The term “due process of law” is defined as a “law which means before it condemns, which proceeds upon inquiry and renders judgment only after trial”. This means that every citizen shall hold his life, liberty, property and immunities under protection of the general rule which governs society. Due process of law means such exercise of the powers of the government as the settled maxim of law permits and sanctions. The fundamental requirement of due process of law is an opportunity for hearing and defense.

The right to free access to the courts and adequate legal assistance; 3. The right to remain silent and to have competent and independent counsel preferably of his/her own choice.
