It will not stop the cheating. It will, however, teach the cheaters to be more careful next time. I know only very few can handle integrity and hunger at the same time, but faced with the problem of siding between the ways of angels and beasts, I try my best to support the causes of the former.<BR/><BR/>BAYI: Asking the US to set up nursing schools here and fund them? I think that's a great idea! <BR/><BR/>SIDNEY: Every test you took was out of luck? You are a very modest person, my friend. <BR/><BR/>MAY: I respect and understand your opinion. That is, after all, the decision of the majority of Batch 2006. I can see how unfair it is for those who really studied, passed, and should have a nursing license by now. But the "cheating stigma" has enveloped both the good and the bad eggs. What I am afraid of, is the long-term effect --- how the US and other western employers will regard our nursing graduates.<BR/><BR/>On the spam thing, there's nothing to be sorry about.

But I don't think these people have compromised their integrity though. They serve people with their skills and they choose to make good money in return, in the US if not in the Philippines. It is regrettable that they choose not to remain in the Philippines to serve their own people and to work in the country that has trained them. <BR/><BR/>If they have signed a bond to serve their country and they break the bond to go to the US, then their integrity has taken a back seat.<BR/><BR/>On a lighter note, I wonder if GMA has considered asking the US to fund nursing schools in the Phils, since so many of the nurses have gone to work in the US upon graduating. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397704.post-1157170577188692292006-09-02T12:16:00.000+08:002006-09-02T12:16:00.000+08:00But there are a few who are hungry and still striv...<I>But there are a few who are hungry and still strive for integrity and honor.
