Answers/Questions from our Members
Hello Nurses, this is the webmaster, "DonVega". I would like to provide information useful to the Executive Board of the PNAMH for planning of future Galas. We just had the 2009 Nurse Awards in May and was a success by EB standards. I would like to provide the input of the Nurses. Please tell me what you thought of it. Did you like the location? The food? The music? The dance? What did you like and what did you not like. This information will be helpful for Riza Muricio as the incoming president for the next term 2010-2012. If you wish to input your comments anonymously, that ok with me. I don't care who you are, just what you thought of our last Gala. If you wish, just input in the comment box provided. Salamat to all who respond.
Your Webmaster, DonVega 06/06/2009
