In a few weeks time, the Nursing Board Exam Results for November 2008 takers would be Released, and soon the number of unemployed nurses would bloat yet again.

Most would be unemployed and some would swallow their pride and take jobs that are way off their profession, much like getting underemployed.

The Philippine Government thought of temporarily patching this up by launching the NARS program or what they call the Nurses Assigned to Rural Areas, hmmm the “S” does not seem to hit the right spot though.

This is somewhat similar to the Doctor to the Barrios Program by DOH.

But would it really help the Unemployed Filipino Nurses here in the country?

Well not everyone would benefit from it since first, the needed nurses are very limited. Out of the tens of thousands of Pinoy nurses currently unemployed, then adding the new nurses that would pass the November 2008 Nursing Licensure Exam, the only required number of Nurses for the NARS program are more or less around 5000 to 6000 nurses.

Not bad since the Philippine government are still looking for ways on how to help the unemployed Pinoy Nurses here in the country, but still these certainly are never good enough. Ever.

That is why up until now, current unemployed Filipino nurses have no choice but to take up a job that is not in line with their profession, I even heard that there are some discriminations when a Nurse is taking up a spot on a job that is not in line in their profession.

If you were in same spot as the unemployed nurses, what would you do?
