Greetings from PNA-Tampa President, Tess Ebrada
It is a great honor for me
that the Philippine Nurse Association of Tampa Bay Inc. had entrusted me
the responsibility to lead the organization for the year 2008-2010. I
had chosen the theme “LIGHT” for my term. Let us focus on some of the
goals of our organization. To unify Filipino American Nurses in Tampa
Bay. We can achieve this through increasing our members and retaining
our chapter members. We want to increase communication of our
representatives in each hospital. The publication of our organization
“The Philippine Nightingale” is our pride. We have a great number of
committed, professionals and talented members. Our website and the
newsletter will continue to be the source of our updates.
Another goal is to
develop, implement and evaluate programs in nursing leadership. Our
past presidents are good role models. They had encouraged the officers
and members to advance higher education and serve as an inspiration to
others. They stressed the importance of prompt responses to any
communication from the chapter locally and nationally.
The last goal that I would
like to mention is to promote a positive image of nursing to the
community through health programs and projects. The organization is
involved in activities to promote the welfare of the community. This
time, I would like to add a simple food drive, services to help out the
ministries that are helping the poor community. We will continue the
scholarship that is offered to the poor and deserving students.
To be a light to our fellow officers and members,
we have to be sensitive to their needs, be ready to reach out when
somebody is in need, listen to their problems, share your time, show
your love to one another like a big family. A family that work closely
together and move forward to achieve our goals, To serve as light to the
community, we will offer food and services to those who are in need. We
hope and pray that PNA of Tampa Bay, Inc. will continue to make a
difference and touch the lives of others.
Sincerely,
Tess Ebrada
PNA-Tampa president
2008-2010,
