I saw this after surfing the net. Press release 01/12/2011
The Department of Health (DoH) today announced that applications can be filed starting next week, January 17, for its project where unemployed nurses will be deployed to poor communities in the country.
"the project, billed RN heals, seeks to make essential health services available to all Filipinos by training and deploying 10,000 unemployed nurses in communities to be identified by the DoH in collaboration with the department of social welfare & development (DSWD),"
Health secretary Enrique Ona said.
Rn Heals, an acronym for registered nurses for health enhancement and local service, is expected to address the shortage of skilled and experienced nurses in 1,221 rural and unserved or underserved communities for one year.
"eventually, these nurses will be part of the pool of competent nurses for later employment or absorption in health facilities, thus addressing the inadequate supply of skilled nurses and increasing the nurses' employment rate," the health chief concluded.
The current batch will end their contract in February, so application would be in that same month. However, I heard that some provinces here in the North have already had their slots filled for the next batch. According to a my bud, applications were submitted directly to the DOLE regional office.
Apparently the start of application varies per region, so it is best to inquire directly to your DOLE regional office regarding the RNHeals program.
I called the # that was given by the DOH and the lady told me that for now they don't accept applicants for the RN-HEALS. The present batch will end their contract on Feb. but there's no guarantee if when they will hire again for the next batch.
how come its already closed?i was planning to visit the hospital near us.so depressing but still i will try my luck,is the philippine heart center and fabella already closed?
@schiz05789 I don't know if PHC will accept applicants who didn't take their trainings at PHC (bls, acls). Of course, they will prioritize those who are already in their pool of applicants. Fabella is still open for their third batch. Just go directly to their HR division for the requirements and other guidelines.
