The complete list of passers of the Nursing Board Examination held last November was just released this morning. A total of 39,455 out of 88,649 passed the Nurse Licensure Examination held on Nov. 29-30, 2008. That entails a passing rate of only 44.5%. I don’t if it’s just me but I think the passing rate has been deteriorating – previous board exams if I am not mistaken usually returned more than 50% passing rate. So why is the nursing board exam passing rate deteriorating?
In my humble opinion, the sprouting of nursing schools everywhere as a response to an increasing demand of nurses abroad, has pretty much contributed to this poor performance. How? Most of this new nursing schools lack accreditation. The accreditation ensures a credible institution. The lack of screening processes of some nursing schools is also contributory to this dilemma. Because the demand for nurses are high, some schools keep on admitting new students, who didn’t even undergo any screening test or examination.
By the way, congrats to my cousin who was one of the 44.5% who made it with flying colors. Congrats to Mr. Faisal M. Paingco, the struggles are over, and this commences a new chapter in your life. Cheers to you, insan!
