Our THREE WORDS: “PNASC RISE, AGAIN!!!”

The meaningful Movie Night is done! It was a mission accomplished!!!

Thank you to ALL PNASC & PNASC WEST LA members, families and friends who attended, donated, and shared the fun!!! This primer movie date project led by Ms. Rochelle Lacuesta was Jam Packed!

All proceeds of this fundraiser will go to PNASC West LA’s project— Toiletries and Hygiene Kit Drive for the Homeless headed by Ms. Vicky de Leon & Ms. Catherine Rubio.

I’m sure that in some way, the movie had positively touched each of the attendees... All can take home beautiful lessons in the movie, whether YOU are grandparents, mothers, fathers, children, friends, husbands, wives, sons, or daughters.

Again, thank you for being a blessing to our homeless brothers and sisters. Advance Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

PNASC's The President's Report 2018 has been released. Please visit our President's Corner for more information or click [here] for the PDF version.

The Project to introduce the nursing profession to high school students was a SUCCESS!!! Approximately 130 Filipino students (5 classes) from Cerritos High School and GAHR High School attended the PNASC led project headed by Ms. Dory Tillano and Ms. Gina delos Reyes in coordination with Ma’am Mizriam Oliva, a Filipino teacher from the ABC School District. Volunteers in this project included: Dr. Reggie Valerio (PNASC president); Mr. Roland Santos (PNASC President-elect); Ms. Patricia Mercure (Assistant Director of Nursing, CNI College); Ms. Darlene Ruiz and Victor Eleazar (ADN students, CNI College).
