Become a Nurse Program

Succession Planning

In our efforts to help resolve nursing shortage, we will develop programs to encourage and invite others into our profession and become nurses so that we may prepare them fully as we pass the torch of leadership to become the next generation of nurses.

Nursing Assistant Training

By Mila M. Josue, RN

The Philippine Nurses Association of North California (PNANC) led by past president Cherina Tinio, partnering in Sagip Kapamilya of America of ABS-CBN Foundation USA and American College of Nursing of Concord, CA.  recently announced the 2nd batch of the Sagip Kapamilya Scholarship Nursing Assistant Training (NAT) Program for this year.

Launched last May 15,2009, the program aims to help those who have recently lost their job, a chance to recover by offering free tuition fees toward the NAT certificate of completion.

"Sagip" meaning rescue is the "bayanihan" way of caring and giving back to the community through volunteerism by nurses in teaching, management and follow-up for NA career placement.

The first pilot SKS NATP scholarship project 2009 was a great success that majority of the graduates are now working and some are enrolled in the nursing program. Such story of tenacity, hope and compassion, of giving from the heart and making a world of difference to our "kababayans"(countrymen) is truly inspiring.
