How to get value from nested table in pl sql table

Question

I created a nested table as follows:

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE  EMP_NO_NAME 
AS OBJECT 
( 
EMPNO NUMBER(4),
ENAME VARCHAR2(20),
JOB VARCHAR2(20),
MGR NUMBER(5),
HIREDATE DATE,
SAL NUMBER(7,2)
);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE EMP_TABLE IS TABLE OF EMP_NO_NAME;

-----------------------
CREATE TABLE NESTED_EMP 
(
DEPTNO NUMBER(2) ,
EMPLOYEE EMP_TABLE
)
NESTED TABLE EMPLOYEE STORE AS NESTED_EMPLOYEE;

INSERT INTO NESTED_EMP (DEPTNO,EMPLOYEE)
VALUES (10,EMP_TABLE(EMP_NO_NAME(7839,'KING','PRESIDENT',NULL,'17-NOV-81',5000),
                     EMP_NO_NAME(7782,'CLARK','MANAGER',7839,'09-JUN-81',2450),
                     EMP_NO_NAME(7934,'MILLER','CLERK',7782,'23-JAN-82',1300)
                     )
        );   

INSERT INTO NESTED_EMP (DEPTNO,EMPLOYEE)
VALUES (20,EMP_TABLE(EMP_NO_NAME(7566,'JONES','MANAGER',7839,'02-APR-81',2975),
                      EMP_NO_NAME(7902,'FORD','ANALYST',7566,'03-DEC-81',3000),
                      EMP_NO_NAME(7369,'SMITH','CLERK',7902,'17-DEC-80',800),
                      EMP_NO_NAME(7788,'SCOTT','ANALYST',7566,'09-DEC-82',3000),
                      EMP_NO_NAME(7876,'ADAMS','CLERK',7788,'12-JAN-83',1100)
                      )
       ); 
INSERT INTO NESTED_EMP (DEPTNO,EMPLOYEE)
VALUES (20,EMP_TABLE(EMP_NO_NAME(7698,'BLAKE','MANAGER',7839,'01-MAY-81',2850),
                     EMP_NO_NAME(7654,'MARTIN','SALESMAN',7698,'28-SEP-81',1250),
                     EMP_NO_NAME(7499,'ALLEN','SALESMAN',7698,'20-FEB-81',1600),
                     EMP_NO_NAME(7844,'TURNER','SALESMAN',7698,'08-SEP-81',1500),
                     EMP_NO_NAME(7900,'JAMES','CLERK',7698,'03-DEC-81',950),
                     EMP_NO_NAME(7521,'WARD','SALESMAN',7698,'22-FEB-81',1250)
                     )
      );

Now I get the value of the nested table in plsql:

    DECLARE 
    CURSOR EMPLOYEE IS 
    select p.* from NESTED_EMP p1 ,table(p1.employee) p;
    V_EMP EMP_TABLE;
    BEGIN 
    FOR  V_EMP IN EMPLOYEE
    LOOP
    EXIT WHEN EMPLOYEE%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP;
    FOR MYINDEX IN V_EMP.FIRST..V_EMP.LAST
    LOOP 
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(V_EMP(MYINDEX).ENAME);
    END LOOP;
    END;
    / 
END;

Error Report:

ORA-06531: Link to uninitialized collection ORA-06512: on line 10 06531. 00000 - "Link to uninitialized collection"

* Reason: An element or member function of a nested table or varray (where an initialized collection is required) without initializing the collection.

* Action: Initialize the collection using the appropriate constructor or assign the whole objects.
