September came

soaring high with ORNAP

NMC as it held its 8th

Regional Annual

Convention and Scientific

Meeting last September 1,

2013. With its theme,

Developing Through

Challenges: Soaring

Perioperative Nursing to

New Heights, the officers of

the ORNAP NMC indeed

soared with their aviatorthemed uniforms as they

graced the halls with

distinguished guests and

participants coming from

all over the country.

Spearheaded by

keynote speaker Hon. Betty

F. Merritt, ORNAP NMCs

event indeed soared as the

Operating Room Nurses as

an organization and as

individual nurses, were

encouraged to imbibe

The Philippine Nursing

Profession Roadmap of

2030 Towards Good

Governance. Specifically,

the Northern Mindanao

Chapter, as represented by

our very own chapter

advisers, Teofanes D.

Guinita and Lilibeth E.

Diana, as well as our

chapter President Amina

M. Busara, was indeed very

fortunate to have been

favored by the member ofthe Board of Nursing herself,

and the ORNAP National

officers as a preconvention

meeting took place as one

of the

many beginnings of the

Operating Room Nurses

Associations own

roadmap.

Included in the

convention proper were

lectures given by notable

speakers as follows: NewTrends in Surgery: MIS in

Orthopedics by Dr.

Jerome Anthony S.

Asuncion, Perioperative

Infection Prevention:

Moving from Idea to

Innovation by Marilu

Densing-Dizon and

Forensic Nursing by Dr.

Jericho Q. Cordero.

Moreover the city mayors

visible support of the event

was indeed an

embodiment that despite

challenges experienced by

the host city (Cagayan de

Oro) during the past

months, nurses will neverstop discovering new

heights. As evidenced by a

great response from

participants and new

memberships, success was

fully claimed.

Congratulations to

the outgoing and incoming

officers for a successful

take-off!

Doreen Grace A. Contreras, RN

Congratulations to the Operating Room Nurses

Association of the Philippines, Inc. (ORNAP) on your 8 th

Annual Regional Convention. It is indeed a welcome

development to have an annual convention where yourmembers can have a venue to voice out their concerns

and suggestions on how to make your organization better.

And I thank the ORNAP for making me a part of this event.

I commend your leadership for bringing together

our perioperative nurses and ensuring that your voices are

heard.

I have always been very supportive of the Nurses

Associations in the country. I have been working with the

Philippine Board of Nursing in filing a bill to strengthen the

Nursing Practice Act of 2002. I know how important the role

of our nurses, especially the operating room nurses, is and I

know the part they play in saving lives. Rest assured, I will

work doubly hard in the House of Representatives to ensure

that our nurses are given the proper recognition and the

commensurate benefits they deserve.

Being a nurse, especially a perioperative nurse canbe quite challenging but it also presents numerous

opportunities to be great. Take advantage of these

opportunities and remember that every time somebody

enters an operating room, they put their lives in your hands.

Always live up to the highest standards of your

profession and never forget how valuable you are to the

Filipino people. As US author and poet Maya Angelou once

said, They may forget your name but they will never forget

how you made them feel.

Thank you very much and more power to the

ORNAP

Cong. Rufus B. Rodriguez (2nd District of Cagayan de Oro)
