UNDERSTANDING MENTAL ILLNESS: KEY CONCEPTS in Psychopharmacology and Psychobiology

There will be a seminar tomorrow, January 30, 2010, on Psychiatric Nursing. The seminar is organized by Mique International Conference and Event Planners(MICEP) in collaboration with the Philippine Nurses Association, Iloilo Chapter. MICEP is accredited by the PRC for giving continuing professional education(CPE) units until July 2012.

The full title of the seminar is: UNDERSTANDING MENTAL ILLNESS: KEY CONCEPTS in Psychopharmacology and Psychobiology - A Seminar Workshop for Nursing Students and New Professionals. The speaker is Dr. Norman Keltner, the famous author of the Psychiatric Nursing book.

The Seminar will be held at Sarabia Manor - Hotel and Convention Center. The seminar will start at 9 am but registrations will start as early as 7. It will end at around 5 pm. This is a nice opportunity because most of the seminars held by MICEP are held in Manila or Cebu. This is useful especially for graduate nurses and for those who want to be a psychiatric nurse.

Tickets are from Php950 for pre-registered/students and for on-site it's Php1500. More information can be found at their website at http://www.micep.net/.

I will describe how the seminar will go tomorrow after attending it. :-?

BLS Certificates

Finally got my BLS certificate after a month. So slow, so Philippines! They all look the same, they just need to input the names but why would it take so long? :-?

Basic Life Support

I am disappointed with where the certificates are going regarding the Basic Life Support Seminar. It has already been a month and still no sign of the certificate of attendance or certificate of completion ID card. What the hell is going on with it?

By the way, the seminar itself went fairly well and the hands-on were really hands-on. The only problem now is where are the certificates? I’m going to need it for the Advanced Cardiac Life Support Seminar this January in Iloilo City.

So please, CERTIFICATES, show yourself! :-?

Basic Life Support Seminar

There will be an upcoming Basic Life Suppport Seminar on November 27-28 in Saint Gabriel Hospital - Kalibo, Aklan. The cost is at Php1000 and I think there are snacks included, I'm not yet sure. This is an important seminar because you need this and an ECG seminar to take a much advanced course in Advanced Cardiac Life Support. I think that the Department of Health is the one who will conduct the seminar - again another unsure information.

I will blog here again to enumerate what happened during the seminar and how it went. :-?
