The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announces that 37,679 out of 91,008 passed the Nurse Licensure Examination given by the Board of Nursing last July 3-4, 2010. Imagine, only a little over 30% passed the exam. I hope the schools will evaluate those students enrolling for nursing course if they are really in this kind of healthcare career. I remember the entrance exam I took before just to be enrolled in a nursing school. The elimination we had before the capping was touch and I think almost 20% of my batch mates were not given a chance to pursue nursing course.

The elimination resulted to almost 90% passing rate and even got the top 1,3,6,9 and 19 of my batch mates who were in the top 20. I am happy to belong to the batch that put the entire nursing history of my school having the highest number of topnotchers.
