ANG NARS MOVEMENT (PARTYLIST FOR NURSES)

Posted by NurseHarbee

My dear Fellow Nurses and Friends,

Greetings of love and peace!

My term as President of the Philippine Nurses Association ended on December 30, 2008. The membership of our national organization increased from 30,137 in 2006 to 104,336 in 2008. Programs and activities were generated to prepare our nurses to be globally competitive. In 2007, the NCLEX was brought to our country. Continuing Professional Education and training programs are underway. The socio-economic welfare of our nurses were promoted by projects that uplift and protect their image. Position statements and press conferences/newspaper releases were made. Mass actions/ lobbying in the Senate and Congress were done on issues affecting nursing profession. Also, networking and linkages were established to advance the life purpose of the Philippine Nurses Association.

But experiencing the sad plight of nurses on salaries and work conditions here and abroad, there is a need to uplift their political rights hence the birth of the Ang Nars Movement. This is where we need to unite and work together.

Let us make our vision come true - we will be a strong association. By 2010, we are a party-list with representation in Congress. With ONE VOICE, let us WORK HARD! We will SUCCEED! BECAUSE WE ARE THE FILIPINO NURSES, THE BEST NURSES IN THE WORLD!

We can do it. We need to help each other and we will get it. Please give your comments, opinions, suggestions especially during this organizational period. Let us keep in touch. [/u] .

Sincerely,

(Sgd) Leah Primitiva G. Samaco Paquiz
President

VISION

We envision Ang Nars to be an association with a strong political force of Nurse Advocates forRights and Social responsibility in the global community.

MISSION

Ang Nars is an association of nursing professionals who are Nurse Advocates for Rights and Social responsibility who :

- pledge to organize and coordinate efforts and available resources;
- empower the nursing sector and
- promote the rights and welfare of Filipino nurses here and abroad.

It aims to win a Congressional Party list seat in the May 10, 2010 national elections.

It shall endeavor to enlist all Filipino nurses here and abroad, including the significant number of absentee voters in other countries, mobilizing their families and friends for the much needed command votes.

It shall strongly advocate to help the many marginalized Ang Nars members, that will ultimately redound to the greater benefit of the sick, and the impoverished.

MOTTO

Nurses, Nurses Unite!
