GROUPS advocating a total retake of the June nursing licensure examinations last June asked the Court of Appeals (CA) on Monday to reconsider its ruling for 1,697 nursing graduates to undergo a partial retake of the leak-tainted board exam.
The 15-page motion for reconsideration filed by Rene Luis Tadle, president of the University of Sto. Tomas Faculty of Nursing, the League of Concerned Nursing and the Binuklod na Samahan ng mga Student Nurses called the appellate court’s decision “partly unacceptable” because it supposedly does not directly address the issue of the leakage of test questions.
Lawyer Pia Bersamin said her clients are happy the CA nullified Resolution 31 of the Professional Regulation Commission, which invalidated 20 of the 100 questions of Test 3 and ordered a recomputation of Test 5, the portions of the nursing board exam the questions to which were leaked.
"By removing the effect of the now annulled Resolution 31, the 'unaltered' result (of the exam) was reinstated, along with the leaked questions,” the motion said.
But, it added, “the leakage problem was not solved. If the effect of the leakage remained in the Nursing Licensure Examination, the integrity of the examination remains in question."
It added that limiting the partial retake to only 1,687 examinees “defeats the right to equal protection of laws of the other examinees in the same situation."
Bersamin said they were standing by their position that there should be a nationwide retake of the June board exam.
A nursing graduate, Dennis Bautista, also went to the CA to protest its ruling, saying it erred in ordering the partial retake for only 1,687 examinees.
Bautista contended there should be more since more than 2,000 nursing graduates attended the coaching session of the R. Gapuz Review Center, more than 1,000 attended that of the Inress Review Center, and the coaching sessions of Pentagon were held twice at the Aliw theatre.
It was during these sessions that the test questions were allegedly leaked.

Simple lang ibig sabihin- PALPAK ang PRC. Noon pang simula, palpak na. Bakit kasi manipulate ng manipulate ng scores?
Ako mataas average ko at di naman borderline. Bakit ako pinaparetake? pakisabi sa mga kasam natin, wag si Grace Urquiaga Pacleb ang gawing spokesperson kasi mayabang siya at walang respeto at selfish magsalita. At saka matanda na siya. Halatang malapit nang mag50 years old. Marami sa atin na ayaw sa retake ang ayaw din sa kanya. Bat di rin tayo ang pagsalitain at baka maawa ang mga officials? Si Tita (Matanda, e) Grace kasi, nakakaturn-off ang dating. Parang ginagamit niya ang issue para sumikat. Laging siya ang nasa TV. Bakit siya e mas marami namang credible na magsalita.
NO to RETAKE even for the 1687!!! NO to GRACE PACLEB!!!
NO to PRC!!!

Haynaku, KURAK ka dyan. Ayaw ko rin kay Grace Pacleb or Pacquaio? Parang boxer ang dating sa laki ng katawan. Mayabang nga at kung magsalita dinadamay tayo. Siya lang naman ang natutuwa sa PRC. Balita namin nagreview sa Gapuz. At nag-aral daw ian na di nagduty kasi takot instructors sa kanya. Mas matanda siya e. Halatang ginagamit nga niya ang nursing issue para sumikat. Apir ng apir sa TV. She is not the best and most credible person to speak for us. Dapat ang magsalita, yung mga bata na gaya natin na di third courser. Sa tanda niya, baka pa nga fourth courser siya. Mayabang si Pacleb. Down with GRACE PACLEB. Tumigil ka na sa kadadakdak dahil nakakasira ka sa diskarte ng no-retakers! Sa true lang.
NO TO RETAKE!!!!

Sa totoo lang di siguro lumala ito kung hindi si Grace inihaharap natin na ayaw sa retake. Sabi nga nung makaretake, gusto nila ng retake para lang mahirapan si Grace kasi mayabang. Nakakasira sa ating krusada ang tabain na iyan. Talaga namang ginamit niya itong issue para sumikat. Never heard naman ang taong iyan bago itong nursing scandal. Kumbaga nagride-on siya. At puri siya ng puri kay Rosero. Kaya tuloy marami ang naghihinala sa pagpasa niya. Gracia, sana tumigil ka na at pabayaan mo kaming mga bata na magtrabaho. Magrest ka. Mas makakatulong ka kung itikom mo ang bibig mo. Siguro, mag-gym ka na lang. Balitaan ka rin namin sa nangyayari, otei?
