SPECIAL REPORT: Nursing leakage
UST nursing college an exemplar
By Grace R. Mercado
http://manilatimes.net/national/2006/sept/27/yehey/top_stories/20060927top7.html
Eleven thousand applicants, 650 accepted. A 10-year average of more than 90 percent passing rate in the nursing licensure examination. Awarded Center of Excellence in Nursing Education by the Commission on Higher Education. Granted Level 2 accreditation by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation. Part of a university that recently received the Philippine Quality Awards in Recognition of Proficiency in Quality Management (Level 2) by the Department of Trade and Industry.
This is the College of Nursing of the University of Santo Tomas.
Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, the College of Nursing of UST has always been a bastion of quality nursing education in the country. Its graduates have enjoyed success while maintaining and living Thomasian values of competence, compassion and commitment in various positions they hold. It could be in hospitals here and abroad, in private and government institutions, in academe and the business sector.
While other universities and nursing schools have been aggressive in their expansion, the UST college has always maintained its class number. Only recently has it expanded from an average of eight sections to ten from the second to the fourth year.
“Expanding is not merely a question of adding classrooms or buying more computers. It is a question of ensuring that the students will be properly mentored. We want to maintain an ideal teacher to student ratio in the college, and by teachers I don’t just mean any teacher, but highly qualified experienced nursing professionals in their field of practice,” explained Prof. Glenda Vargas, dean of the college.
Within the university the college has always been described as reserved, preoccupied with the daily grind of the classroom and hospital duties, often even failing to attend to university affairs to catch up on the lectures. The college is a community within what is usually described a “conservative” university. On the other hand, the college, particularly the faculty members, has always been seen as a unified force; it has always acted and voted as one in both university and faculty issues.
The recent licensure leakage scandal and, before it, the resignation of the CHED Technical Committee on Nursing Education that rocked the nursing profession sounded like an ambulance siren in the collective consciousness of the college, particularly of the faculty. These have awakened an otherwise docile institution, making it “sleeping giant” no more. Wishing to shed light on the issue, the officers of the Faculty Association of the college have sought an audience with the Association of Deans of Philippine Colleges of Nursing and written to the Board of Nursing and the Philippine Regulation Commission. But as more information came in, the more it became clear that the solutions put forward by the nursing leaders and the commission only further put in doubt the integrity of the licensure examination.
Much has been said of the technical details of the issue; in fact, a case filed by the colleges’ Faculty Association is pending at the Court of Appeals. Suffice it to say that as a community of Catholic teachers, the college, true to its Dominican roots, stands for the truth and the genuine effort to search for the truth. As a community of mentors of future nursing professionals and leaders, the college, its faculty members in particular, cannot simply go back to the classroom as if all is well, because all isn’t well.
How do you continue teaching new nurses when the regulation commission can simply decide that retaking the board examination is optional? How do you continue to motivate the students to be at their best, when some self-styled nursing leaders argue that the new nurses “will be trained in the hospital anyway and that is where they would prove their competence?” This issue is indeed beyond the “retake-no retake” conflict.
This is about nursing education, and the deplorable state some government agencies and moneyed interests allow it to be. This issue is beyond the Class of 2006. This is an issue for all current and future nursing students. This is not only about the here and now, but more so the future. And it is because of this future that the University of Santo Tomas College of Nursing, drawing strength and inspiration from its storied history and tradition, its commitment to excellence and the pursuit of the truth, has taken a stand.
This issue simply hits home

well di nman assurance ang pagiging cum laude to pass the board exam lumaki lng tlga ulo.
i dont think na ang pinaglalaban ng ust ay integrity of the nursing proffesion but the integrity of the SCHOOL... imagine expected top notcher nila sa board bumagsak 2nd ang usual na mataas na board rating of all nursing school sa phil bumaba din cla around 80%..
well kung bagsak di ba retake din ang solution bkit idadamay pa ung mga pumasa its because gusto nila manguna.. nasan ngaun ung reason na pagiging wholesome school nu..
at sa dean ng ust nkakahiya ka parang wala kaung prof ad un lng.. ur such a shame to the nursing prof.
imagine pati stud nu hinohold ang credentials para sumama sa side ayan ung mga pumsa sa board ah well guys pinipilit lng cla..

Pag nag-retake ba, solve na ang perennial problem of cheating?
Saka, it is not a matter of asking 42,000 examinees to retake Tests 3 and 5. Kailangang i-sort out yung talagang bagsak sa ibang subjects na dapat magretake hindi lang ng Tests 3 and 5 kung hindi lahat ng Tests 1 to 5.
Otherwise, magdadalawang retake sila. Na kahit ipasa nila yung retake ng Tests 3 and 5, ay hindi pa rin sila pasado sa entire exam dahil bagsak rin sila sa Tests 1, 2, and 4. Kaya kailangang isabay na nila ang pag-retake nito.
Dapat ma-realize ito ng PRC, na kailangang himayan nila yung ang retake ay Tests 3 and 5 lamang sa ang retake ay dapat entire exam.
In fact, dapat yung Test 5 lang ang may retake, not Test 3. Kaya lang, talagang bobo yung mga gustong isali sa retake ang Test 3. Kaya dapat paratingin ang kasong ito hindi lang sa Court of Appeals kung hindi hanggang sa Supreme Court.
Sasabihin nila, punish the guilty but spare the innocent, eh bakit yung mga inosenteng passers sa Mindanao na malayo sa cheating ay kasali rin?
Kung ganyan din lang ang usapan, ay protect na rin ang integrity hindi lang ng nursing profession kung hindi buong bansa. Remove the doubt of cheating in the last national election--REELECTION na rin ng Presidente!!!!

o ayan, di na nakapagpigil sinabi na ang totoo...kaya pala nagpuputok ang butse ng UST kasi MALINAW NA MALINAW... 90% PASSING DAW KASI SILA... di nila matanggap na wala sa top 10 ang school nila... a ganun pala yun...

kelangan may masisi sila... kelangan may managot sa pagbagsak ng kanilang 3 honor students...

Copy of Email from a concerned citizen to OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
AND OTHERS CONCERNED, copy furnished selected senators, congressmen, PRC Chairman, members of media, etc.:
ON 42,000-EXAMINEE EXAM RETAKE,
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE DEMOCRATIC TENET: PUNISH THE GUILTY AND SPARE THE INNOCENT?
Pag nag-retake po ba ang 42,000 examinees, solved na ang perennial problem of cheating? Me foolproof system na ba na magsisiguro na ang retake mismo ay wala ng cheating? Ano ang mga steps na gagawin para in a short period of time ay mayroong foolproof system within the year?
Saka, it is not a matter of asking 42,000 examinees to retake Tests 3 and 5. Kailangang i-sort out yung examinees na talagang bagsak sa ibang subjects at dapat magretake hindi lang ng Tests 3 and 5 kung hindi lahat ng Tests 1 to 5. (Otherwise, magdadalawang retake sila, at hindi dapat ang pagtake ng entire exam in two installments—dahil mas madali yan at baka may umangal na naman.) Na kahit ipasa nila yung retake ng Tests 3 and 5, ay hindi pa rin sila pasado sa entire exam dahil bagsak rin sila sa Tests 1, 2, and 4 at ang average grade nila ay hindi passing. Kaya kailangang isabay na nila ang pag-retake ng Tests 1, 2, and 4.
Dapat ma-realize ito ng PRC at Malacanang, na kailangang HIMAYIN nila yung ang retake ay Tests 3 and 5 lamang at ihiwalay sa ang retake ay dapat entire exam! Kung ang retake ay SEPARATE sa regular exam in December, ay hindi 42,000 ang kasali dito, yun lang na kung maipapasa ang Tests 3 and 5 ay pasado na sa entire exam! Kung SABAY naman, dapat himayin at pagkatapos ay bigyan ng notice ang lahat ng examinees. Yung nag-meeting sa Malacanang na nagsabi ng retake ng 42,000, hindi siguro inisip ito kaya akala nila ay ganun kabilis ang magpa-retake ng 42,000. Kailangang mag-ingat sa paghimay dahil puedeng magkamali diyan kung hindi foolproof ang instructrions o programming sa computer.
In fact, worst case scenario, dapat yung Test 5 lang ang may retake, not Test 3. Kaya lang, talagang matigas yata ang ulo (bobo o tuso?) nung mga may gustong isali sa retake ang Test 3. The 17,000 PASSERS have earned VESTED RIGHTS on Test 3, na may natirang 80 or enough valid questions (more than the first 60 graded questions in NCLEX that if answered right enough, the examinee is immediately declared as PASSER of the entire exam with many subjects), kaya dapat walang retake nito.
Sa totoo lang, kaya gustong isama ang retake ng Test 3 sa Test 5 ay dahil kung Test 5 lang ang may retake at nakarating ang issue sa Supreme Court, eh di SIMILARLY SITUATED ito sa 2003 scandal-rocked bar exam na isang subject lang, Mercantile Law, ang may issue ng leakage kaya nagkaroon ng PRECEDENT na NO RETAKE, excluded na lang ang entire subject sa recomputation ng grades--at kung COVERED NG PRECEDENT eh di timbog ang retake proponents sa Supreme Court!!! Kala nyo di namin alam, he, he, he!
Pero, ang mahal na Pangulo, alam ba niya ito? Kung hindi, naisahan siya at ang mga 17,000 passers at pamilya nito nung nagpa-approve sa kanya ng retake without full disclosure of relevant facts—TANTAMOUNT TO MISREPRESENTATION! Di hindi pala sila bobo kung hindi tuso?
Walang sure passing sa board exams, kahit nga honor graduates may bumabagsak dito, tulad nung sa UST, kaya passers want to protect and preserve their hard-earned rights. Dahil may element of LUCK din ito, depende sa kung ang napag-aralang mabuti ng examinee ang siyang lalabas sa exam o hindi—kaya kayabangan o katangahan ang sabihing kung pumasa nung una ay pasado rin sa retake kaya dapat pumayag agad sa retake. Sabagay, hindi ito alam ng mga hindi nakaranas na kumuha ng mahirap na board exam sa buong buhay nila—tulad ni Dr. Dante Ang???
In fairness to the PASSERS, kung ang retake ay Test 5 lang, kung sakaling malasin sila at hindi pumasa sa retake ay posibleng CONDITIONED pa rin sila, hindi total flunker, at pag umulit uli ay Test 5 lang ang uulitin. So including Test 3 in the retake is not a simple matter. It INFRINGES on the VESTED RIGHTS of passers who have substantially passed the requirement for this test subject, especially if we consider the NCLEX system and the Supreme Court's handling of the 2003 scandal-rocked bar exams. Baka magkahiyaan pag nakarating ang isyung ito sa Supreme Court. Saka, hindi ba being bureaucratic lang ang hindi makakita ng validity ng Test 3 under the circumstances?
The PRC exam tests the examinees’ ability to pass at least 75% of whatever number of questions is given. If this is applied to Test 3 exclusive of leakage, the examinees should pass 75% of the 80 questions. However, because there are remaining 80 valid questions out of the total 100 questions for Test 3, it is still mathematically possible that there are legitimate and valid passers in Test 3 who will be jeopardized by the subjective and mindless order to retake Test 3—those who got at least 75 correct answers out of the 80 valid questions, which 75 correct answers still meet the required 75% not of the 80 remaining valid questions but of the original 100 questions for Test 3!!! Thus concluding that Test 3 needs retake is NOT ABSOLUTELY CORRECT and violates the rights of those who may have gotten at least 75 correct answers in that test, GET IT??? O where art thou, bakit hindi kayo kumikibo, mathematicians from UP, UE, and UST!!!! Bakit hinayaan ninyong magbigay sa Presidente ng hindi foolproof na recommendation on Test 3 ang mga retake proponents na hindi naman mathematicians???
Sa gobyerno, daming napakalaking KAWALANGHIYAAN ang ginawa ng maraming matatanda na (gaya ni Jocjoc Bolante, Gen. Garcia, etc.?), pero ang Malacanang, ang LUWAG sa kanila--walang ginawang vigorous pursuit of the cases against them, bakit sa mga 17,000 kabataang nursing passers, ang HIGPIT ng Malacanang?
O kaya si Gng. Imelda Marcos, bakit hindi nag-exert ng all-out effort ang Malacanang na ipakulong siya, and once she is in jail, that is the time to talk of compromise settlement on hidden wealth (assuming compromise is to be tried at all)--meaning NEGOTIATE from a POSITION OF STRENGTH, hindi yung parang si ABCEDE pa ang nanunuyo sa kanya. Kaya ba ayaw habulin si Imelda ay nanunuyo ang Malacanang dahil may clout pa rin siya at mga anak niya sa voters sa Ilocandia at sa Visayas? Kala nyo hindi rin namin alam, he, he, he!
The 2006 nursing scandal should not be taken in ISOLATION. It has to be related to what was done in the past, in the 2003 bar exam scandal, in the 1996 physical theraphy exam scandal, in the kid-glove treatment of suspected plunderers of the nation, and of murderers and kidnappers whose death penalty has been abolished, and so on. Being so EASY on them and so HARD on the 2006 passers is unfair and unjust to the latter. And please don't tell them that it is for their own good. Pure speculation lang yung sinasabing kasiraan nila. Iyon ay direct result lang ng paninira sa kanila, kaya na-conditioned tuloy ang minds ng public. Siyempre kung ano ang laging sinasabi tungkol dito, lalo na ng ABS-CBN at Manila Times, ay iyon ang magiging impression ng lahat. LIES repeated often enough will appear as TRUTH. But it is a fact of life that employers do not totally rely on PRC license, they also consider the transcript of record and the fact that the applicant is a nursing graduate--this is exactly what NCLEX is doing (it asks for diploma and transcript of record)--and it is the final nursing licensure exam process in the United States--eh bakit ayaw sabihin na incompetent din ang passers nito! May challenge na sa Pinoy BSN for Dr. Dante Ang and other retake apostles to denounce the very few questions in NCLEX exams for the sake of sick OFW’s and other Filipino patients in US hospitals, so let them heed the challenge kung talagang hindi sila believe sa remaining 80 questions ng Test 3 for one subject vs. first 60 graded questions in NCLEX for all subjects!!! Let them show to the President and to other cabinet officials present during the meeting in Malacanang their conviction of the validity of their retake advocacy by denouncing before the world the established NCLEX exam system with very few questions (75 to 265) compared to that of the 500-question PRC exams. (In the NCLEX exam, if the examinee passes the 60 graded questions out of the first 75 questions, he is automatically declared PASSED and the computerized checking of answers stops, otherwise he is given a second chance and the checking of answers proceeds up to the last and 265th question. If he passes the remaining questions, the examinee passes the exam.)
Kaya siguro dapat ay paratingin ang kasong ito hindi lang sa Court of Appeals kung hindi hanggang sa Supreme Court.
Saka, hindi ba't sinabi na ng maraming government officials, pati ng Presidente, pati ni DOJ Secretary Raul Gonzales sa TV, etc. noong una pa na PUNISH THE GUILTY and SPARE THE INNOCENT, ano na ang nangyari sa pronouncement na ito?
Bakit yung mga inosenteng passers sa Mindanao at iba pang lugar na malayo sa cheating ay kasali rin, kung 42,000 ang magre-retake? TALAGA PO BANG ANG PINAKAMATAAS NA OFFICIALS NG BANSA AY WALANG ISANG SALITA? Paano na maniniwala ang taong bayan sa kanila? Kaya tuloy yung sinasabi nila sa Cha-cha, maraming hindi believe--kaya hintayin na lang ang plebiscite kahit ito ay gastos lang.
Kung ganyan din lang ang usapan, baka mabuti ay protect na rin ang integrity and image hindi lang ng nursing profession kung hindi ng buong bansa before the world. REMOVE THE DOUBT OF CHEATING IN THE LAST NATIONAL ELECTIONS--BECAUSE THAT DOUBT IS REAL, AS ELOQUENTLY EXPRESSED BY THE ONGOING APPEAL BEFORE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORAL TRIBUNAL OF MS. LOREN LEGARDA IN THE PURSUIT OF WHICH SHE SPENDS MILLIONS IN PESOS, AND THE SUPPRESSED GARCI TAPES AND THE MAYUGA REPORT AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE--KAYA DAPAT AY REELECTION NA RIN NG PRESIDENTE AT IBA PA!!!!
In short, ang sagot sa RETAKE: REELECTIONNNNN!!!!

what about previous presidential election with alleged cheating, will she retake/re-elect?
Dante Ang is claiming perception of imcompetence, can he tell his BOSS GMA about the perception of the world regarding her legitimacy?
this press release is biased becuse dante ang owns manila times
