Someone shared this article with me and I thought it was interesting http://nursingcrib.com/nursing-jobs/10000-nurses-needed-for-dohs-rn-heals-project/

merged with existing thread

do you think it will have a second batch like nars program????.... coz 10,000 vacancy was not enough when it comes to number of nurses who dont have experience nowadays.... i hope they open different batches so that they can accommodate all the deserving applicants

Hi! I was part of NARS Project. It was a 6 months program for community and clinical service. We were serving the community (Municipal Health Center) for 3 months. And for the another 3 months, we were sent to our Provincial Hospital for clinical experience (hospital setting). So, it is not true that we were only serving in the health centers of our municipality. Try to research more about this program.

Well as stated to the RHheals website. This is a one year program and consisting of community and clinical service too, as similar to NARS. Maybe, it will be a 6months community and a 6months clinical experience (hospital setting). Read more information of this project from this link http://www.nars.dole.gov.ph

About the salary, yes, it was delayed for the first giving of our salary (2weeks delayed... I think due to our Landbank ATM issue). But after then, as every 15 days, there's always our allowance. So, due to 2 weeks delay, we still got our last allowance after two weeks of the program. :)

Hi! I would just like to ask if this RNheals program is considered as an employment? Will this be considered as work experience when applying abroad? Does it have SSS benefits? Thanks a lot!

What happened to the thousands of nurses who did the NARS program of the DOH?

Where are they now ? Where all of their salaries paid? How long did they serve under the program?

The biggest question is .... Where they given jobs by the government in municipal and public hospitals after graduating from the NARS program ?

Previous NARS nurses ... please enlighten us. Thank you.

hello everyone!just want to clear things up. if ever we were hired, where are we going to be deployed? was it in the hospital or in the community? also, this program is for one year, right? thanks!

As far as i know and read from RN heals project in their website, you will be deployed to the place you wanted to be deployed. I think you haven't tried to register yourself. There's this option where you'll choose the municipality you wanted to be deployed. RNheals is a one year project unlike the NARS which is only 6months.

Read more about the RNheals project in their website. Try this link: http://www.nars.dole.gov.ph. you can get all the information you needed to know. Good luck!

I'm from the 1st batch of NARS Project. So, consider it as within the experiment period of this project. Well, most of my friends from NARS project were in abroad now, some still stayed here working in our local hospitals, some shifted carreers. Well, they have their own choices what or where they wanna be.

All our salaries were paid. And we served for 6 months per batches. NARS Project is only a 6 months program per batch and this project is a community and clinical experience. So, 3 months is for the community service while the other 3 months is for the hospital setting. NARS Project had only 2 batches and it ended April 2010. It was implemented of former Pres. Arroyo, so, i think it stopped because there's a new president. We were hoping before that it will be continued but it never happened. I am happy that they opened this new project, RNheals.

About your biggest question, there were offers from agencies for NARS graduates but from UAE bound jobs. And, employment from the hospital/health centers we left was a big frustration for us... In our place, there were no open jobs after graduating from the program. My last duty was in the hospital and they said we can still continue our duty there but as a volunteer. If in case, there will be an opening, we could be hired. That was our frustration before but I can't blame the hospital because DOLE was the one who hold the program.

This statement is from the site of rnheals, "Eventually, this program will provide a pool of competent nurses for later employment/absorption in health facilities thus, addressing the inadequate supply of skilled nurses and therefore increase nurse employment rate." So, i hope by this project, all of the rnheals successful applicants will be absorbed from the health facilities in their municipalities.

Yes, I think so, it will be considered as work experience. Well, about the SSS, i don't know about it but i've read that they will cover us with Philhealth. Well, try to visit the rnheals site to know more about the project. I am just as clueless as you are about this project. But, i think some helps.

Hi everyone, I'm registered already to this program and got my control number.

The confirmation link they send to check the application status

http:// rnheals.dole.gov.ph

Seems not working properly, I cannot open it.

I would like to ask my fellow nurses where do you check your application status? How can I know if I'm scheduled for an interview?

Will Rn heals conduct an examination as their screening?

Because Based on what I've read from the DOLE site and from the news they will accept 10,000 nurses who are physically and mentally fit, those who will pass the interview, medical exam, and document requirements will be the successful one to be deployed.

Where did they usually conduct there interview?

Thank you in advance to those who will reply.
