Filipina Honored for Accomplishments in Nursing

July 29, 2010

 

Myrna Elma Ricarte, Registered Nurse at Orange County Healthcare Agency, has been recognized by Cambridge Who’s Who for demonstrating dedication, leadership and excellence in nursing. 

Ms. Ricarte has 50 years of overall professional experience, and has been with Orange County Healthcare Agency for 16 years. As a registered nurse, she is responsible for educating patients on sexually transmitted diseases and drug interactions, administering vaccines and inoculations, and charting patient’s irregularities and progress. Additionally, she and her husband founded the General Artemio Scholastic Foundation of the Philippines. They help the underprivileged in the Philippines achieve an education through grants and scholarships if they prove themselves in school. She became involved in her profession because of the inspiration she received from her aunt, who was a nurse.
