A nice hit this summer for BSN4D Alumnus Jan Mark Lavilla, 22, diagnosed with Type I DM will be as a barrio nurse starting his hitching ride in San Carlos. Correspondent Dexie N. confirmed Thursday (8PM - Pacific/Manila) that the said procedure consist of 3 months hospital exposure and 3 months mountainous journey. This was unveiled based facts as she had a one-on-one with JM as she was in charge for a family member who was admitted at the General Surgery Ward.
The NARS program of the Arroyo administration is supposed to be a “stop-gap measure" against unemployment amid the global financial crisis. Under it, at least five nurses will be sent to each of the 1,000 poorest towns in the Philippines and will be paid at least P8,000 monthly for one whole year.
As BSN4D onced tagged Lavilla having the "community nurse characteristic" especially the "face" as Oliver was always stressing, this was not an easy decision to made as Lavilla have declared that he had a great time in GS Ward for 10 months and was so hesitant to leave the said institution. With an 8000 pesos per month and an experience that is practically a memory, the mountainous region of Negros Occidental is truly a gift for an experience that is worth more than the skills of an
expert critical nurse.
