Filipino nurses warned against 'leaking' US board exam questions to other examinees

lenjoy03, RN · Aug 17, 2007

Your right bonsai_25. We really do appreciate all the warnings and reminders regarding the NCLEX here in Manila. I hope that the bad impression regarding the approval of NCLEX here in Manila wont start with the Filipinos... You see, they already given us the opportunity to save money and to prove that not all Filipinos are cheaters. CAn't you see that because of what other Filipino says regarding the cheating or one day closure of the testing site here reflects not only one person but everybody! Please... Don't take everything negatively... When your given an opportunity to prove other people is wrong, grab it!

what second courser programs are you guys talking about?

were you referring to this post?

pinoy_guy: can you back up this statement with figures?
you've roundly condemned all second coursers with this statement.
maybe i have but mostly are with the present situation here. it might be different 2 or 3 years before but this is happening now. i don't have figures to post it here.
does your statement "because nowadays, especially the second coursers, want an easy ticket to everything." apply to these american second coursers?
i was referring to filipino second coursers. the ones who had a previous bachelor degree, lived here, and wants to go out of the country fast.

i suggest quoting the post you're reacting to.

anyway, the warning by mr. ang is appreciated and shall we say predictable. i think the others are complaining because people tend to thrive about the bad news here. the warning is appreciated for sure. the cheating that happened to korea is over, in fact i don't see any koreans talking about it here.

again, the opinions and suggestions here are being taken negatively.

"thrive about the bad news here???"

i suggest you read the previous threads on the cheating in the nle. if i recall correctly, the mods and some posters advised against the rallies to "force" cgfns to accept the tainted results. i think "national sovereignty" was mentioned, that cgfns should not "meddle" with how we run things in the philippines.

bottomline? no visascreen for the june 2006 nle "passers." cgfns said their licenses were good only in the philippines.

the thing is, we're focusing on the elephant in the living room, the humongous cancer on the patient's head. the elephant and the cancer which our government officials, and some posters here, vehemently deny exist.

the forced retake was implemented only because cgfns set its foot down.

the reason i'm sharing this warning by our government official is because nothing had been done with the perpetrators of the june 2006 nle cheating.

sure, we have the press releases about cases being filed...but as we say, "palabas lang iyan," or "it's only for show."

the review centers continue raking in millions. business as usual.

americans are not stupid.

remember the other suggestion we had? about retaking the entire nle instead of only tests 3 & 5? i hope we were wrong on that one.

i would love to hear about our june 2006 nle/tests 3 & 5 retaker nurses actually getting jobs in the us.

suzanne definitely is connected to the grapevine in the us--she's sharing what she's hearing from over there.

the other posters--even if they don't brag about it--know a lot about the situation than they care to admit.

tfc is available in a lot of the filipino communities in the us, and they air the snippets about the cheating. if they don't listen carefully, they get the impression that there is cheating.

the other side of the coin is that a lot of filipino nurses in the us learn about this cheating scandal firsthand...as suzanne mentioned, quite a few nurses had been "requested to resign" for not having the basic nursing skills.

as this is a forum for airing opinions, i don't appreciate your ad hominem attack. we do not "thrive about the bad news here."

it's so tiring dealing with all this negative energy. i wonder how suzanne does it.

i don't need to quote anyone about the second courser programs as you can see everyone has an opinion about the program. i just stated what 2nd courser program that i had in case some of the readers do not know what 2nd courser programs some are talking about. it's not big deal. thanks for the suggestion.

i don't think anyone denies the existence of cheating here or the cheating that happened last june 2006. who can forget, it was the talk of the town for months. and i am also aware about the "no visascreen and no rally whatsoever you are talking about". its all in the past, if you want to talk about it, i don't really care. its your prerogative as a member of the forum. anyway, they retook the exam already last june 2007, hopefully its not an issue anymore. if cgfns will not accept the retake of 3 and 5, i guess everyone will retake the whole thing this december. let's just see.

i agree though that the government is not doing much about what happened before. the nursing review centers are still earning millions and the government should so something about it.

somebody will always react in a negative and positive way. i don't even remember singling you out. its just an observation. the ones who posted before me, said so too if you look. if you feel like i am attacking you, well i'm sorry but thats not my intention. like you said, this is a forum, if you can air your opinion, so can we.

if americans are not stupid, so are your fellow filipinos. believe me, we understand and appreciate the warning about manila nclex testing center. everyone is thankful of suzanne's connection to the so-called grapevine in the us. i know she's been helping a lot of foreign nurses too. nobody is denyinig that. but i do like to research on my own and not just depend on suzanne. anyway, its not a crime to disagree with suzanne. is it so bad if we don't follow/agree with her or the other supposedly experienced ones about certain issues? :uhoh3: really, its nothing personal.

i am a june 2006 passer and i have an employer already in the us. half of our class have us employers already. well, we are not in usa yet so i guess we have to wait and see if its really true after the retrogression. i asked my employer, if being a june 2006 passer is an issue for them, they said no. i have a friend who is working in usa right now, she said they didn't even ask her about her philippine license. well thats only from my experience and my friends. i do not speak for every june 2006. one of the members here said that one hospital is willing to sponsor her despite being a june 2006 passer. someone called her a liar already just for saying so. so i guess thats why some do not bother to post if they have one already.

like i said, nothing personal. if you do not appreciate an attack, i don't either. :uhoh21:
