Nursing exam passers, parents insist: 'No retake'
Nursing exam passers, parents insist: 'No retake'
PASSERS and parents of those who took the June 2006 Nursing Licensure Examination maintained their "no retake" stand despite the changing decision of government officials on the matter.
Earlier, Malacañang ordered the retake of the tests for some 7,300 nursing graduates but recently it changed its decision saying that it will wait for the decision of the Court of Appeals on the issue before finally deciding.
Group spokesperson Bong Baldoza, during a press conference Friday, said the culprits in the leakage should be the ones punished and not their children who have taken the exam and passed it honestly.
Baldoza said those who passed the exam in Visayas and Mindanao, who did not participate in the leakage, should be allowed to practice their profession.
"I have already incurred a huge amount of debt just to let my child finish. Ang sa amin lang sana the government would consider the feelings of the parents," Baldoza said.
Baldoza called the retake incident a "double kill". First kill was the controversy on educational plan and second is the retake, he said.
According to Baldoza, his child who passed the exam is discouraged after being turned down by prospective employers because of the leakage issue.
"The most painful for us parents is to see our child experiencing psychological and mental anguish," he said.
Meanwhile, passer spokesperson Aiza Felyn Bosio said should they undergo a retake, considering the five-month gap after their exam, they will have to undergo another review to refresh them of their lessons, which they took six months after they graduated.
"It's a different exam, different questions and we are only given 60 days to prepare for the exam," Bosio said. "If we retake, it's not a guarantee to pass because of the many factors, especially emotional factors." (BRQ)
