ADNEP rocks PNA
It was the first time that ADNEP had a booth during the Philippine Nurses Association’s 86th Founding Anniversary, 51st Nurses Week Celebration and National Annual Convention at The Tent of the Manila Hotel last October 21-23, 2008. The event was attended by more than 2,000 nurses coming from all over the Philippines. It was a great opportunity to promulgate the mission of ADNEP and at the same time advertise our projects. One of our advisers, Dean Carmelita C Divinagracia, is the current recipient of AGT (Anastacia Giron Tupaz) award given by PNA. It is the highest award given to a Filipino nurse in our country.
Several activities were done at our booth. Delegates were asked to fill-up a Risk Assessment Form. Our Presentor and featured product partner, Roche Accu Chek, had free blood sugar checking for the visitors. Free health education and counseling were done to at-risk delegates. ADNEP ballpens and Roche kits were given as a prize to many delegates.

The PNA Convention is fun and memorable. I was able to promote the activities conducted by ADNEP(Association of Diabetes Nurse Educators of the Philippines) and encouraged them to also join the 12 day intensive training discussing Diabetes and other related topics including Diabetes Education, Medical Nutrition Therapy, Activity and Exercise, Insulin Therapy, and many more. As a representative of ADNEP, I get to know more nurses from different parts of the country and from different field of Nursing as well. This is an experience that I will never forget.
