The NARS (Nurses Assigned in Rural Services) Project of the Philippine government is one of the strategies of the government to tone down the impact of Global Crisis. The launching of NARS Project happened on February 9, 2009. NARS Project is a Training-cum Employment Program of Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the Department of Health (DOH), and Board of Nursing – Professional Regulation Commission (BON-PRC). This project endeavors to accommodate nurses and appoint them to the poorest communities of the country with the end in mind of improving the delivery of health care services. In return, the participating nurses will acquire new skills which will help them increase their employability.
Sixteen (16) towns from Romblon, identified to be poorest municipalities, are all covered by the NARS Project except Odiongan, Romblon. Though Romblon is short of 22 nurses for the first batch, the two-day orientation and seminar pushed through at Odiongan, Romblon. Deployment for the first batch is from April 1 to September 31, 2009. Application for the second batch will start from August 15 to September 16, 2009. Second batch will be deployed from October 1 to March 31, 2009.
NARS Project has both clinical and public components. Successful applicants will serve three months in a hospital and three months in a community setting, preferably the hometown of the applicant. On the average, five (5) nurses are allotted to each town. Through-out the training, nurses will receive monthly stipend.
The Philippine government has identified four (4) participating hospitals in Romblon province (Romblon Provincial Hospital, Sibuyan District Hospital, Tablas Island District Hospital, and Don Modesto Formalleza Sr. Memorial Hospital) which will house the nurses for the six-month period.
Four nurses from Banton, Romblon were accepted to the NARS Project. As of this writing, they are on the second leg of the orientation and seminar in Odiongan, Romblon. The four nurses are: Gretchelle Joy Fofue Fonte, Ariane Kristil Ferrera Orillos, Hariette Shielle Fetalvero Fabonan, and Nisan Ionie Fallurin Fabon. Initially, Gretchen and Ariane will serve in Banton Health Center starting April 7, 2009 while Hariette and Nisan will work at Romblon Provincial Hospital beginning April 6, 2009 (Monday). The two couples will swap area of appointment after three (3) months.
If you are a registered nurse and want to give back to the community, this opportunity is something you should not miss. However, if you think that this is your ticket to work abroad immediately after the training, I don’t think this is the kind of employment your employer wants. Besides, this project assignment is tantamount to OJT and not a regular employment.

Let us all give back something to the community. This way, we will be able to build a better nation.
