Nurses Assigned in Rural Services (NARS)

It was a big opportunity for me to be included and one of the list as first batch of President Gloria Arroyo’s program which was Nurses Assigned in Rural Services or ( NARS ) unemployed registered nurses was given the chance to serve the poorest sector/community and compensated for six months. It was a challenging experience, I learned a lot since that was my first work and being paid after I have my license as a Nurse practitioner even though I’ve gone to many experience in a hospital as volunteer. Now President Noy- noy Aquino or they call him Pnoy, continued the said program but sad to say I am not qualified anymore since I already availed the said program before, will give the chance to other. I heard it doubled the stipend and he make it 1 year contract instead of 6months. If only given a chance again, I really want to be a part of that program again.
