The Philippine Nurses Association - Austria

Description:
The Philippine Nurses Association - Austria was organized due to diverging thrusts and expressed call of amity and harmony so that the issues and concerns of the Filipino nurses in Austria, irrespective of their nationalities, could be properly addressed.

Therefore, on October 4, 2001, the foundation of the Association was conceived. It was registered to the Security Authorities (Vereinspolizei) of the City of Vienna on October 10, 2001. The election of the first officers was called on November 6, 2001. A week later, the names of the elected executive board members of PNA-Austria were submitted to the said Authorities. On November 15, 2001, the Philippine Nurses Association-Austria was then born to exist as an entity with all its legal rights and duties after its application was finally approved by the "Vereinspolizei".

The said officers were inducted to office by then President of Philippine Nurses Association, Inc., and past ICN Board member Dr. George C. Cordero on December 8, 2001 at Marriott Hotel. He then conferred to the officers the certificate of accreditation as a recognition being the accredited chapter in Austria of PNA, Inc., Manila, Philippines.

In December 18, 2001 the President sent a letter to the "Wiener Krankenanstaltenverbund (KAV)", requesting it that the hours earned during seminars, lectures, etc. conducted by the Association which are intended for fortifying nursing skills and knowledge should be recognized and accepted by it. KAV, through the Director of the "Kranken- und Altenpflege" Department, "Generaloberin" Charlotte Staudinger, had informed him that the hours earned are recognized and accepted and could be entered into the Further Education Pass (Fortbildungspass).

PNA-Austria is secured for ten years after it has obtained the clearance of the Patent Office on January 24, 2002.

The goal of PNA-Austria, a non-profit organization, is the utmost utilization of professional services to support, enhance and to maximize the care of patients and it should be carried out irregardless of the patient's religion, status and culture. Its objective, among others, shall to unite the Filipino nurses up to the national level whereby a profitable sharing of experiences would be facilitated, and to support likewise the integration of Filipino nurses into the Austrian working system.

Since its inception PNA-Austria has made significant progress in increasing its membership and has reached several Austrian states already. It has conducted scores of lectures and seminars to supplement the nursing knowledge of its constituents and for the advancement of their skills and professional growth. It has also provided several activities to soothe and ease them off of their strenuous and wearing job. It has also gained recognition and respect in various sectors especially in the Filipino community and the Austrians as well.

PNA-Austria is at present the most active foreign chapter of the Philippine Nurses Association, Inc., Manila, Philippines based on the information provided by same to PNA-A. Regular reports have been sent by the President to apprise the Philippine Nurses Association, Inc. Manila about its constituency, activities and course of actions.
