I got some mixed feelings upon reading an article that same out in Sun Star Daily that bannered news about four Cebu schools, were ordered to close their nursing programs after their graduates allegedly failed to beat the national passing rate in the Philippine Nurses Licencure Examination (PNLE). These four nursing schools are quite familiar to me because they belong to prominent universities existing in the city. are among 147 public and private schools the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) ordered to close their nursing courses because of low board exam performances.

The closure order was issued after graduates performed below the national passing percentage rate of 46.14 percent in the nursing board exams of the past five years. The schools that were given orders by CHED include the University of the Visayas, Southwestern University (SWU), Benedicto College in Mandaue City and the Saint Paul College Foundation. These schools however has asked the CHED to re-evaluate the performances of their schools to ascertain the validity and accuracy of the numbers. They pointed out that their board examination rating were not as bad as they are presented in the CHED-released statistics.

Its really frustrating to hear about the news... i felt sad for some of my colleagues who loose their job. For me we still don't loose hope, that thing turn out right soon.
