Philippine Nurses swamp DoLE for rural jobs RN Heals

Fameronag said the 10,000 nurses being recruited through RN Heals will be deployed to the poorest localities around the country.

Unlike a similar nurse employment program in 2010 that hired nurses for only six months, RN Heals will employ nurses for one year.

“They will get an allowance of P8,000 monthly and an additional P2,000 from the local government unit where they are assigned,” Fameronag said.

They will also have Philhealth medical insurance coverage and group insurance from the Government Service Insurance System.

DoLE will recruit and select the nurses while the Department of Health and the Department of Social Welfare and Development will decide where they would be deployed, he said.

Applicants should be physically and mentally fit, licensed by the Professional Regulation Commission, and preferably be residents of the area where he or she would be deployed.

The government will begin deploying the nurses chosen for the program by Feb. 11, Fameronag said.

CHED “sleeping on the job” related to the less than half of nursing students passing exams says Philippine President Aquino

Newly elected President Aquino did not hide his dismay on the commission’s performance after learning that more than half of the country’s nursing schools posted a record of below the national passing average.

 Earlier, Angeles also bared that in a seven-year period (2001 to 2008), the number of flunkers in the Philippine Regulation Commission-administered licensure exams exceeded the number of board passers by as much as 1.42 million, or about 64 percent.

 This means that only 808, 884 (36.35 percent) out of the 2, 225, 571 examinees for the period has passed the test. Click here to read the complete arricle  http://www.manilatimes.net/index.php/component/content/article/42-rokstories/20750-ched-to-welcome-new-chief-on-july-19

Nursing in England Discouraged (May 2010 from AllNurses.com)

To all of those who are from the Philippines and are planning to get student visa for England, pls dont push it through.   To be truthful i have met filipino nurses and were lured by these agencies that they could process their student visas and can find an employer for them. They were asked £2500- 3000 for their placement fees. When they arrived here there were no jobs. They went once a week to university for their NVQ's. Say they arrived in Leeds and the university that they were supposed to attend is in Birmingham. They were in a difficult situation and yet they cant go back to the Philippines because they owed thousands of pounds just to obtain student visas. Their regrets, no one has told them the reality. Why i am telling you filipino nurses not to come over here because i too am a Filipino/british. I am just concern of what will be your plight when you would be here.

Stop nursing’s decline   The 39.73 passing percentage in the latest Nursing Licensure Examination is the lowest in history, while the total of 94,462 who took that exam is the highest number on record. As students, we are quite alarmed at and frustrated with the low passing percentage because it shows that the quality of nursing education in the Philippines continues to decline.
