To promote professional growth towards the attainment of highest standards of nursing. Using filipino nurses to fund their activities. They do not stand along the abused filipino nurses.
A distinguished Filipino nurse named Anastacia Giron-Tupas presided a meeting with 150 nurses on September 2, 1922, which incorporated the establishment of an organization for professional nurses. That organization, the Filipino Nurses Association, was born and later was accepted by the International Council of Nurses as one of the member organizations during the congress held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on July 8–13, 1929.
In 1966, the organization was renamed Philippine Nurses Association, the same year that the present headquarters in Malate, Manila was inaugurated.
It was awarded the Most Outstanding Accredited Professional Organization by the Professional Regulation Commission in 2003, besting 40 other professional associations, and was five-time nominee for the same award.[1]
