NEW YORK -- “Nurses Show Live”, a self-help and stress Reduction Program that addresses the problems facing nurses in the course of their personal lives and at the workplace, will be held on May 12 from 8 am to 4 pm at Sheraton Hotel La Guardia in Flushing, New York.
“What about Fun?” is not only an invitation but empowerment and encouragement for nurses to pause and re-evaluate their own self goals, not only to become savvy and competitive but well-rounded, well-preserved individuals,” said nurse Myrna Dominguez, founder of the Nurses Show Live.
Nurses Show Live is a one-day nurse’s show which will combine both continuing educations intertwined with a live entertainment performance and exhibits.
Dominguez, a nurse at VA Medical Center in NY, was born in the Philippines.
She migrated to the US in 1979 and had worked as a staff nurse in Oncology at the Mt. Sinai Hospital, Miami Beach.

THE Medical City (TMC), a Philippine hospital located in Pasig City, has been conferred accreditation by the Joint Commission International Accreditation (JCIA) for attaining and maintaining the highest international standards of quality for healthcare organizations.
JCIA is widely-recognized as the most prestigious accrediting body for international healthcare organizations. It was established in 1997 as an affiliate of JCAHO, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, a non-profit institution which evaluates and accredits health providers in the United States. JCIA extends the Joint Commission’s mission worldwide, and has assisted hospitals and clinics improve the quality and safety of patient care in more than 80 countries.
The JCIA is awarded only to exceptional establishments after a rigorous and in-depth assessment based on international consensus standards. Accreditation involves a thorough and demanding on-site survey by an international team of experts.
The Medical City received perfect marks for two very important categories required for accreditation: access to care and continuity of care, and quality improvement and patient safety, a truly exceptional achievement by any measure.
Specializing in wellness, cardiovascular, cancer, orthopedic and neuroscience services, TMC boasts of a unique service philosophy founded on the patient as an equal, educated, informed and empowered partner in the achievement of health goals.
The Medical City has an impressive structure with two nursing towers currently accommodating 500 beds (with provisions for 288 more); a podium which houses the hospital’s special services, diagnostic facilities, and administrative offices; an 18-storey Medical Arts Tower with 280 doctors’ clinics; and a 3-level parking area with slots for 1,000 vehicles. On hand to provide expert care is the medical staff composed of over 1,000 physicians from all fields of specialization.
The Medical City offers homey interiors and comfortable amenities that equal that of a world-class hotel. Rooms are designed to offer soothing views of the pristine gardens below, the Pasig and Makati skylines, and the Antipolo mountains. It is strategically located at the Ortigas business district along Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City.
