Hoping to give clinical instructors and students alike further learning in the field of nursing, the DMC College Foundation recently sent 10 CIs and 35 fourth-year BSN students to Ozamis City to attend a seminar on core competencies and Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) updates at the La Salle University Arts Center last October 3

The seminar is organized by the La Salle University College of Nursing in coordination with the PNA.

The CIs who attended the seminar are Jennifer Jarantilla, Vida Omamalin, Marilou Regencia, Jaypee Buhisan, Jackie Lou Sanoy, Georgie Jumalon, Benjie Mananzan, Edsel Eway, Mary Ursula Nasthassia April Te, and Ellie Jean Barillo.

Among those in attendance during the seminar are Liceo de Cagayan Nursing vice dean and PNA Region 10 governor Neil Martin, La Salle School of Graduate Studies Dean Maria Nancy Quinco-Cadosales, La Salle College of Nursing Dean Marilyn Bacsain, and other clinical instructors in Ozamiz.

“This is a great learning experience for our students and instructors. The knowledge and experience they get from this activity is a huge plus in helping them become better nurses and students. I hope that they will put such learning into good use in their everyday lives,” DMC BSN dean, Dr. Ma. Grace Gurdiel said.
