Phlebotomy: Another Nursing Career

Today, a lot of training institutions offering different trainings, form Basic Life Support, Advance Cardiovascular Life Support, ECG Training, Intravenous Therapy, up to the recent training the “Phlebotomy Training”.

#iBlog10: A Decade for Philippine Blogging Summit Day 2

Honestly, I am trying to digest all the talks of our speakers from the 1^st day up to the second day but there is a topic that will hit your interest (I am not saying other topics are not interested). For me, we (newbie blogger) are not too familiar with the other terminologies discussed at the plenary. Other topics are applicable for those institutions already in the blogging community.

To give a highlight from the 2^nd day of the #iBlog10: The Philippine Blogging Summit, as a health blogger, I will give this in the way I see blogging for health is important.

The Philippine Health Bloggers Society (PHBS) joined for the second time the 10^th Philippine Blogging Summit (#iBlog10) at Malcolm Hall, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City. Different bloggers graced the said event (health bloggers, food bloggers and a lot more).

Based on the twitter handle of the Rants of a Queer Guy, Raim said “Kapag mataba, food blogger.” Grabe huh! Discrimination naman yan! Hindi naman lahat ng malusog ay food blogger.
