CCINNA donates for the CPU Nursing Virtual Laboratory Project

The CCINNA (Central Philippine University, Capiz Emmanuel Hospital, and Iloilo Mission Hospital Nurses Alumni Association) made a donation to Central Philippine University for the College of Nursing Virtual Laboratory Project last July 3, 2017. The check amounting to P240,277.01 was handed over to CPU President, Dr. Teodoro C. Robles.

The soon to be constructed 5-million Virtual Laboratory of the College of Nursing is “in preparation for the College of Nursing plan to become a Center of Development or Center of Excellence” according to Atty. Salex E. Alibogha, Acting Dean, CPU College of Nursing and Outgoing President of CCINAA.

Present at the turnover of donation were Mrs. Mageline B. Catedral (CNINAA President 2013-2015), Mrs. Cynthia Mendoza, Current Vice President of CNINAA, and Dr. Irving L. Rio, CPU Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Last February 3, 2017 the College of Nursing batch 1977 also donated P292,704.29 for the said project. Mrs. Ann Catedrilla Seisa, a member of batch 1977, pledged to donate 1 million pesos for the project.

The Nursing Virtual Laboratory will provide simulation of various nursing procedures such as IV therapy, parenteral medications, for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and others. This will surely prepare students and develop their skills, depicting real life situations, before doing it on actual patients. It will be a facility that will have doll simulators, IV virtual laboratory monitors, and camera for other students to watch how procedures are being done while in another room. With this Virtual Laboratory, CPU students will be able to practice their delivery of health care and errors will be minimized on real patients.
