It is also the UN agency with a constitutional mandate to protect migrant workers including migrant health professionals and skilled workers. ILO adopts a rights-based approach to labour migration and promotes tripartite - government, employers and workers participation in migration policy. The ILO has adopted two conventions and and associated recommendations focusing on migration issues. These are Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97) Migration for Employment Recommendation (Revised), 1949 (No.86), Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1975 (No. 143), and Migrant Workers Recommendation, 1975 (No. 151). To build bridges between ILO’s standard-setting role, programmes and services for its constituents, the ILO implements projects with funding from donors worldwide and partnerships with local stakeholders. In 2011, the European Union partnered with the ILO to implement a project on the migration of skilled workers. The ILO Decent Work Across Borders (DWAB) project: A Pilot project for Migrant Health Professionals and Skilled Workers seeks to better understand schemes in line with circular migration of health professionals. As part of DWAB’s aim to stengthen employment services for health professionals, it validated the need to conduct training courses on nursing qualification and competency frameworks and certification. Nursing skills and competencies mastery and recognition are the prerequisite conditions for migrant nurses to be treated fairly upon employment in the Philippines and in any receiving country. To support the dissemination of the nursing core competencies to improve and uphold the quality of nursing in the country and its graduates, the ILO DWAB project partnered with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Professional Regulatiion Commission (PRC) to implement this subproject entitled “Nursing Core Competencies Training for Master Trainers in Nursing Education and Practice”. This entailed the conduct of pilot training courses for nurse master trainers in key areas in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and the development and pilot of the training module. Together with CHED and PRC, ILO DWAB recognizes the importance of standardizing the competencies across the Philippines to make nursing education and practice more locally relevant and internationally competetive. This subproject was designed and implemented in the best interest of the nurses themselves, the Filipino people and the many people Filipino nurses serve worldwide. Lawrence Jeff Johnson Director International Labour Organization Country Office for the Philippines National Nursing Core Competency Standards - Training Modules i Preface Significant advances in the nursing profession made it imperative to define the competencies, performance indicators and standards for beginning nurses in their different roles. The promulgation of the Philippine Regulation Commission-Board of Nursing (PRC-BON)’s National Nursing Core Competency Standards (NNCCS) is a response to this situation. However, for effective and efficient implementation, training programs and materials aligned with the competency standards need to be developed. This set of training modules was prepared by expert nurses for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the NNCCS. The writers are experts from the academe, community and nursing service sectors so that situations and examples are realistic and relevant. These modules are primarily intended for Master Trainers (Mentors) and their nurse trainees. The focus is on enhancing skills for developing competencies such as critical thinking, problem solving and decision- making in applying legal and moral principles to nursing care, management and research. Case studies and scenarios in the workplace are used to illustrate the teaching of some topics. The modules are not intended to give a comprehensive discussion of the topics. Content can be learned from the books and articles in the reference list to which mentors and trainees are directed. As the readers go through the modules, they are encouraged to think, plan and reflect on the learning process that they should undertake and the outcomes to achieve. The collaborative efforts of Philippine Regulation Commission-Board of Nursing (PRC-BON), Commission on Higher Education – Technical Committee for Nursing Education (CHED-TCNE), International Labour Organization (ILO) and the dedicated writing team ensure that this undertaking will contribute to the enhancement of nursing education and practice.
