Nars Partylist

They are running. I mean, we. It's true that nothing will happen if we will just rant. The nurses are moving forward.
the movement's general plan of action are as follows:

Advocate for the implementation of Republic Act 9173's "Salary Grade 15" for nurses working in the country. It shall secure the proper treatment and remuneration of nurses.

Uphold the working conditions of nurses here and abroad.

Monitor and implement an effective and efficient program of the Philippine Health Care Delivery System.

Encourage and motivate nurses to become politically and socially responsible.


There have been issues on whom will run. Most of the people in the forum are not favor of letting the doctors-turned-nurses take the seat. I believe so. They have not really experience being demoralized when applying for work in the hospital. Most of the doctors-turned nurses are well-off, who can easily pay for the experience. Part of the it's plan is to let the nurses take over the work of the midwives in the community and lying-in clinics. The movement also planned to have a concrete time frame for volunteers in rendering free participation in an institution. They want to make sure that the volunteer nurses are very well taken care of and should also receive benefits from the institution that accepts such exertion. It's actually a promising idea. The movement still needs 1.5 million votes for this have 2 seats in the Congress.
