That should be the slogan of Department of Tourism because of the hundreds of thousands of Nurses that tourists may encounter when they visit the country. They need not worry if they have heart attack, stroke, or diabetic attack, because for sure in any unholy or unexpected places be it in a mall, a tricycle terminal, on a jeepney or in the heavenly shores of Boracay, somebody will ask them “Hey, hey, hey are you okay?”
In the data of Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) as of this year, there are around 700,000 Registered Nurses in their record excluding 27,000 Nurses who just passed the recent Board exams. Among the 700,000 licensed holders, 100,000 are estimated to be working around the world as OFW and a staggering 400,000 or more are unemployed. The remaining few are working but not in the line of nursing (like call center agents, pre school teachers, real estate agents, waiter, waiters, salesman and saleslady among others).

December 24th, 2011 admin House Bill 5641: “An Act Prohibiting the Exploitative ‘Volunteerism’ of Nurses” has been filed at the House of Representatives last December 14, 2011.
Instead of just removing the fees, there is finally a bill to stop the EXPLOITATIVE practices of “FALSE Volunteerism”: having nurses do STAFF Nurse responsibilities, but without salaries.
Violators can be penalized a fine of P100,000 to P500,000 and face imprisonment of 6 Months to 1 Year; while hospitals themselves face suspension or cancellation of their licenses.
We thank everyone and their tireless efforts over the past years; finally we can see the fruits of our labor.
Our advocacy is still far from over, but we are one step closer to provide “Tamang Trabaho, Tamang Suweldo, at Tamang Solusyon” for all Filipino Nurses!
December 17th, 2011 admin ANG NARS Position Paper on House Bill 5445: “An Act Prohibiting Hospitals from requiring the payment of money upon Registered Nurses who want to gain work experience and penalizing any violation thereof”
House Bill No. 5445 will not solve the salary and unemployment problems of nurses. It removes the fees of Non-Accredited Training Programs but strongly strengthens FALSE Volunteerism by further promoting and encouraging hospitals not to employ nurses; making them work without salaries, benefits, protection, and security of tenure.
Dr. Enrique T. Ona, the Secretary of the Department of Health, issued DOH Memorandum 2011-0238, “Termination of all Nurse Volunteer Programs”, “Volunteer Programs for Nurses” and all similar or related programs in all DOH retained hospitals; and DOH Memorandum 2011-0262, entitled, “Elucidating the Conditions Fundamental to Department Memorandum 2011-0238 or the “Termination of all Nurse Volunteer Programs”, Volunteer Programs for Nurses” and all similar or related programs in all DOH retained hospitals.
December 16th, 2011 admin House Bill 5445: “An Act Prohibiting Hospitals from requiring the payment of money upon Registered Nurses who want to gain work experience and penalizing any violation thereof” has been approved on third and final reading a day before the House of Representatives adjourned for the Christmas recess. (Dec 14, 2011)
This bill (updated from HB767) is authored by of Rep. Edgar San Luis of the 4th District of Laguna.
Although this removes the fees from the Non-Accredited Training Programs, this does not remove the Exploitative Practices of having Nurses work without Salaries in the guise of FALSE Volunteerism.

FALSE Volunteerism & Non-Accredited Training Programs
Please SHARE to our colleagues, family, and friends so that everyone will be educated…
October 18th, 2011 admin Dated October 04, 2011, it states that all DOH-retained hospitals’ Nurse-Training Programs MUST first be approved by the DOH and PRC-Board of Nursing.
We must now push the DOH to include the non-DOH retained public hospitals and ALL private hospitals in the memorandum, and institute punishment to all those who exploited our Nurses.
We must not stop until every hospital in the country provides “Tamang Trabaho, Tamang Sweldo, Tamang Solusyon” for all Nurses.
