The Scandal Behind RN Heals 3
Ironic as it is that instead of seeing nurses jumping at their highest joys after becoming part of RN Heals 3, how come we see the opposite? Is it because of…
- 1 year pure community?
- The assigned areas are just too far from their residences?
- The compensation is not enough to support?
- Salary is equivalent to no salary thinking of the fare expenses to far assigned areas?
So how did the interview really go?
I remember one of the questions asked during the RN Heals 3 interview is about commitment of being assigned to a particular area (that includes far far away areas). But I still do remember as well during the online application that we can put the area we want to be assigned.
So which is which?
But amidst those all, aren’t nurses should be of service without any complains? (At the back of our minds, “duh” because we just all need a job”)
100,000 plus nurses are unemployed out there trying to make their lucks and chances to get in. RN Heals 3 program despite of being considered as only a band-aid solution, are the little things needed to be appreciated. We all complain of how the big persons or officials are working out there leaving almost a huge percentage of nurses unemployed. But see, it’s still us in the end who lacks the eagerness and keenness.
It hurts to see stuffs like this thinking that I am one of those who did not make it and I should be more deserving than those successful applicants for RN Heals 3 who back out.
“We are hiring nurses to serve the underserved. If you want all to be in your towns then better you resign because we can’t sesante others to accomodate you. Beside the assignment is based on year you passed the board, then for 2011 based on your ranking. DOH directives if you won’t like the assignment you resign. 65 nurses are on the line to replace you.” Source: RN Heals 3 Misamis Occidental
Let’s just see it this way that at least they are still working their job and programs have been implemented for us nurses that includes the new PhilHealth CARES program.
If we did not make it, more batches are yet to come.
How about you? What’s the other side of your story?
It’ already July at ngayun ko lang nabasa to,,,
My story:
I didn’t go through with the normal application system because I had a backer. I didn’t really want to be in this program but since I had a backer, my parents forced me to. Now, it’s almost 3 months since we were deployed and I regretted getting inside the program.Now, I’m quitting, and I’ll only give 1 week notice in my resignation. I’m not happy working as a nurse. So, better give this chance to others.
After the reading the RN HEALS, I would understand why you left. Di ko rin kukunin ang work na 8k plus 2k tapos naka expose pa sa maraming hazards. naisip ko rin yung nangyari kay Nurse Florence na di naman na protektahan ng PNA. Wala bang maasahan sa gobyernong ito tungkol sa atin? Parang gusto na lang tayo itapon palabas ng Pilipinas para kumita.
pay or no pay.im still honored & blessed bein assigned in “far-off” areas coz serving the community is still the best work of life.i can serve without being into any sort of politics.lookin @those less fortunate families make me realize am still lucky coz am not on their shoe.am lucky they need my services and not the other way around…because feeling the need of other people’s assistance will only make me feel helpless…of course money is a big matter but am sure my sacrifice will, in the long run, pay-off in another terms!
nakakahiya tong tarantado na to. sinira nya lang ang image ng mga filipino. sana merong pumatay sa kanya sa loob ng kulungan. walang hiya talaga, gago! kung sa nanay nya kaya ginawa yan ewan ko lang kung ano mararamdaman nang demonyo na yan. sana may papatay sa kanya pag lapag nya sa pilipinas.
This is the other side of my story.
I feel relieved by the fact that I was not chosen to be part of the program. Why? Because of the lingering issues about the late stipend and the fact that you’ll be thrown out to far RHUs… I just learned about these issues just after i went to the CHD office to submit the requirements.
Honestly, I have already accepted my fate the day that I went there…
I remember that guy from the CHD office who asked me several questions about RN Heals , the conversation was light he even said:
“Naks maam naka 81%plus ka sa boards..ok yan”
so i felt like : “wow may chance ako shet!!”
And then in the middle of our conversation this guy who seemed to be a doctor just popped out somewhere and asked the other guy (without excusing) ..
DOC:” Uy dito ka pala”
GUY: “Hi DOC! oo dito ko naka assign.. uwi kna?
DOC: “yup, kumukuha n ba kayo idedeploy?”
GUY: “hindi pa doc kasi may ililift pa na 700 sa previous applicants tapos kukuha din sa new applicants ”
DOC: ” ah ganun ba,pag ano may irerefer ako sayo ha anak ng kaibigan ko..ikaw na bahala dun ”
GUY: ” oo nmn doc..ako bahala dun”
DOC: ” sige sige thanks”
That was too blunt, I thought. I’m not being so sensitive…in fact, I am very much aware that we do have this ” backer system “..but to make it so obvious to other applicants…I just thought that it was so lame and unprofessional…
So the moment i stepped out of the said office…
I know I won’t be part of the program…
Helloooowww!? 700 from previous applicants? And another 500 from new applicants plus those who have “BACKKKKERS” for one region only….
DANG ! so i did not wait for any mez or call from CHD..well,di nmn ako nagkamali… 🙂
LABANAN ITO NG BACKER at mga swerte ang horoscope..
tama nga. so insensitive. nkalimutan nga nya na currently he’s interviewing pa…tsk sad talgang backer system na ito.
tama…ganun namn tlga s pinas, PAKIKISAMA ksi daw yun. Anyways in the end, we still know whose the better and more deserving nurse…keep up the faith lang mga brother/sister! ^^
Your article is true NurseGermz. Here in our place, RN Heals nurses are assigned to far flung barangays. Those barangays that are really inaccessible by vehicle. Nurses are required to live in their assign areas for a whole year. Most of the nurses are complaining that its too expensive and safety issue is a real concern. We all know that this program is only for a year and that we should make and get the best out of our stipend. So, even if they are saying that its a challenge. “Challenge reason” can never outweigh the reasons of expenses and safety. Now most of them are having second thoughts about staying in the program.
THIS IS THE OTHER SIDE OF MY STORY: RNHEALS 3 is really depressing for nurses like me who strive to apply without backers/politicians helping me. I was writing the best in my resume, not to mention all the trainings I took, hoping that their HR might consider to hire someone deserving. but sad to say that in B___l- only the relatives & close friends of politicians here were the ones hired in RNHEALS 3.I wondered why there were no exams anymore where in fact the exam schedule was already announced but suddenly there was another announcement that RNHEALS 3 applicants here in B___l will not undergo the exams anymore. they said we will just wait for a txt or email for us to know that we are hired. But when the results were out & as we see the names of those who make it,We conclude why the exams for RNHEALS 3 were no longer conducted. May God bless those people behind all of this & May God also bless those nurses who were not able to make it but applied cleanly- more & more.
I bet I know from what Region you are. Yup I can totally relate. It distracts and interrupts our motivation and hardwork because of others who even never had shed sweat but was able to make it.
