The Professional Regulatory Board of Nursing (PRBON) represented by Dr. Leah Primitiva S. Paquiz, in collaboration with the Philippine Nurses Association, Inc. (PNA) Region IV headed by Dr. Maria Lourdes C. Baňaga and Dr. Jocelyn M. Dalendeg, together with the Professional Regulation Commission Region IV-B (MIMAROPA) under the tutelage of Regional Director Reynaldo D. Agcaoili, conducted a face-to-face mass oath-taking ceremony for the 141 Registered Nurses at the Citystate Asturia Hotel, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan last February 10, 2023.

According to Hon. Paquiz in her inspirational message, “…nursing is caring, caring is kindness, it is a gift from oneself. That is why, use that gift in helping our country in providing competent and compassionate healthcare services, especially to the poor and the sick.”  Truly, nurses are one of the important lifelines in the healthcare industry because they facilitate the delivery of healthcare services in various settings.

Armed with holistic competence, our new registered nurses are now ready to face the challenges in our healthcare system and continue to uplift the quality of life of every Filipino.
