University of Cebu College of Nursing- Host for 1st PNRS Student Conference in Cebu

By Lesley Anne Pino, UC Banilad Nursing student

The University of Cebu College of Nursing, both Banilad and LapuLapu-Mandaue Campuses, dressed out its inclination to drag nurse & student researchers all over Cebu. With the theme “Rediscovering Research: A change in one’s perception”, the very first Philippine Nursing Research Society student conference in the province was launched last March 17, 2011. After being inducted as secretary last November, University of Cebu's Research advocate Dr. Rosielyn D. Tan, along with the league of dynamic PNRS officers of Cebu Chapter, lighted the idea of choosing UC as host for the exodus of the national organization’s freshest milestone.

With keynote speaker, Dr. Donna Lou Evasco Neri, Research Director of Liceo de Cagayan University, students from Cebu Doctors’ University, Cebu Institute of Technology, University of the Visayas, and Benedicto College, mopped up UCLM’s Audio Visual Room. Abstract posters presented by clinical instructors and students were notable as judges toured around and examined the meat of their researches and expertise.

At the tail of the event, victorious winners were the delegates from Cebu Doctor’s University who bagged 1^st and 3^rd place, while nursing students from University of the Visayas throned the 2^nd spot. Needless to say, it was a day on the calendar to be marked on; a chance for the collaboration of the faculty and the students to intellectually meet at both ends.
