I am now officially employed!

Finally! LOL :)

Thanks to DOH for their project called RN HEALS (Registered Nurses for Health Enhancement and Local Service). Eventhough this is only a one-year-project, I am so blessed and thankful to God because out of 1,600+ nurses in Nueva Ecija (more than 50,000 nationwide) who applied, I was one of the 164 (10,000 nationwide) who were hired.

FLASHBACK

I was browsing my facebook account when I saw a link (which I also posted HERE) posted by one group of nurses about this so-called RNheals project of DOH. I got so curious so I read on and learned that the application would be online ONLY. When registration was already open, I immediately registered, then further searched info about it; what to do next, etc. Then I came across this site that says we have to bring the confirmation slip to the nearest DOLE office. I wasn't sure if that info was correct so I inquired in our municipality---and the site was right.

The next day, before my duty in the hospital where I worked as a trainee (volunteer), I dropped by the DOLE office and submitted my confirmation slip.

Few days later. I received a text message informing me to come by the DOLE office for interview. I can't decide then if I will go or not because I was night duty for two consecutive days (11pm-7am) on the days they specified. But then I thought, that was my chance so... I went there right after my duty. Guess what? There were applicants more than I imagined and it took hours before I got interviewed!

Anyway, after several days I received another text stating that I successfully qualified for the project. *YEY!!!* I informed my staff in the hospital and bid goodbye.I've learned a lot in my short stay there and if given the chance, I might come back and continue working with them. :c

I'll definitely miss wearing my badge.

On Feb.14-15, 2011, we had our pre-deployment orientation in Oxford Hotel, Clark, Pampanga. (free accommodation and with lots of foods!) DOH pampered us a lot. hehe ^^, By the way, this is a joint project of DOH, DOLE, DSWD, DILG, PRC and BON.
