1. Provideregulatory standards in the practice of Nursing by implementing the Nurse Practice Act and by lobbying to Congress any planned amendment to any laws with direct relationship to the practice of Nursing.
2. Ensure public safety by administering the Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination (PNLE) to graduates of Nursing schools prior to practice of Registered Nursing in the Philippines.
3. Maintain high standards of nursing education by auditing the performance of Philippine Nursing Schools.
Cereal crops or grains are mostly grasses cultivated for their edible grains or fruit seeds (i.e., botanically a type of fruit called a caryopsis). Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more energy worldwide than any other type of crop; they are therefore staple crops. They are also a rich source of carbohydrate. In some developing nations, grain in the form of rice or corn, constitutes practically the entire diet of poor people.. In developed nations, cereal consumption is both more moderate and varied but still substantial.
The word ‘cereal’ derives from ‘Ceres’, the name of the pre-Roman goddess of harvest and agriculture. Grains are traditionally called corn in the United Kingdom and Ireland, though that word became specified for maize in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
These are the good effects to our health when we eat adequate amount of cereal:
1. Cereal Fiber Intake Reduces Risk for Type 2 Diabetes in US Black Women

3. Breakfast Cereal Helps Maintain Healthy Weight
4. Early Cereal Grain Exposure Does Not Increase Risk of Wheat Allergy
5. Whole-Grain Cereals Cut Heart Failure
6. Fruit, Cereal Fiber May Reduce Cardiovascular Risk
7. Dietary Factors May Affect Risk for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
