Good news nurses!  The much awaited return of Philippine Nurses Association Lifetime Membership for nurses is here. PNA resumed its lifetime membership for nurses  for only five thousand pesos (Php 5, 000.00) as written pna-logoin a news released in the PNA website last December 13, 2013 and has already taken effect since January 01, 2014. Eligible nurses are those who have been PNA members for three consecutive years (i.e. 2011-2013).

Originally, PNA has four (4) membership classifications:

  1. Regular Membership is conferred upon a nurse who has paid the required fee for the current year.
  2. Life Membership is conferred upon a nurse who has been regular members for three (3) consecutive years and who shall paid their required fees.
  3. Honorary Membership is conferred upon a person who is not qualified as regular or life member but who has rendered distinguished service to the Association in the attainment of its goals subject to the approval of the Board of Governors.
