NOW in our 5th year!

In the latter part of 1994, Victor Nebrida and I were chatting at the Filipino Library in Los Angeles where we work as volunteers. Since we happened to be board members of the umbrella organization (Pamana) that ran the library, we were thinking of things that we could do to make the library a more effective means in the dissemination of information about the Philippines to the local community.

Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA)

THE beginning

There were many problems encountered by Filipino nurses migrating to the United States in the early 60’s and 70’s. To help each other, many nurses in different states formed associations in their regions. However, there was no national organization linking them together. In 1979, the year of the birth of PNAA, there were already established PNA (Philippine Nurses Association) chapters in different states which were independent of each other; PNA of New York( 1929), PNA-Chicago, PNA- Michigan, PNA-New Jersey, PNA-Southern California. Each was functioning independently dealing with their Filipino nurses’ migrant issues and problems, as well as employer exploitations and human rights violations.
