Let’s Do This!
The PNAA has many impactful initiatives
that serve the professional needs and advance the career pathways of the
Filipino-American nursing community. Current initiatives at a glance include the Resilience
Program to
build a resilient workforce; Innovation & Research, which offers
grant money to members in support of research study and quality improvement; Scholarship
Awards to encourage members to advance their
nursing education; and Empowerment programs such as the iLDP, Camp Aruga Leadership
Bootcamp, Patnubay sa Pagtatagumpay (P3) Formal Mentoring Program, and Leadership
Institute. Collectively, these initiatives make up the
RISE Program.
From October 30, 2023, until December 15,
2023, we have the PNAA GivingTuesday Campaign to benefit the RISE
Program. We encourage everyone to volunteer as GivingTuesday
Ambassador to help raise funds so we can expand these critical benefits
and reach more people. The RISE Program is a far-reaching legacy that
will strengthen our organization’s infrastructure and support our members'
professional and clinical development as future leaders in healthcare.
