Roxas says retake of nursing board exams right thing to do
SEN. Mar Roxas lauds the President for requiring a retake of the June 2006 Nursing Licensure Examination.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the senator said a retake is necessary to redeem the integrity and credibility of the nursing profession. He noted that the licensure and accreditation system administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) suffered a serious blow because of the reported leakage of the questions.
“Never mind if the decision came late,” Roxas said of the President’s decision. “It’s still the right thing to do.”
The senator said the integrity of the licensure and accreditation system must be upheld, and only a retake of the test could accomplish that. He added the retake would erase the stigma, perhaps unfairly stamped on the 17,821 nursing graduates who passed the board. Most important of all, it would assure hospitals and medical institutions that they are placing their patients under the care of competent nurses.

Roxas called on PRC and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to come up with a program to help the affected nursing graduates take the test anew with a minimum inconvenience and expense.
“The government should provide financial support since those who [are being asked to take] the nursing board exams are a victim of its failure.”
As regards the people responsible for the leakage, Roxas said they must be made to answer for their action, which had wrought damage on the system.
“Heads must roll at the PRC,” Roxas stressed.
The senator urged Labor Secretary Arturo Brion and Dr. Dante Ang, chair of the Commission on Filipinos Overseas, to inform hospitals and medical institutions abroad, especially in countries interested in hiring Filipino nurses, of what the government intends to do.
He expressed confidence that implementation of the Presidential directive would put a closure to the scandal.
He said the best proof of failure is the thousands of students who now have to prepare once more and re-take a new board exam.
