The Board of Nursing has nullified the December 2006 nursing licensure examination of 758 examinees in the Bicol region in consideration of the devastation in the area wrought by super typhoon "Reming."
According to BON member Marco Sto. Tomas, many of the examinees in the region have failed the test and they were flooded with requests from parents and examinees to invalidate the test results.
"The board deliberated on their requests and in consideration of the devastation brought by the typhoon, we decided to nullify the test of 758 examinees," Sto. Tomas told The STAR.
The results of the examination of those who passed have been upheld.
Before the test was held in December, Reming hit the Bicol provinces, notably Albay and Catanduanes, leaving most parts of the region devastated.
At the time of the test, word spread that there was an upcoming tsunami, causing many residents to panic. And seeing their town mates scampering to safety, many examinees in Legaspi City scurried out of the testing centers. Many of the examinees were returned to continue taking the examination, while others totally abandoned the test.
Sto. Tomas said they also considered the "tsunami scare" in deciding to nullify the test results.
