For those nurses who attended good schools and passed the NLE, my heartfelt congratulations for a well deserved accomplishment. However, I feel for those who failed because they went to substandard schools that consistently fail to graduate students who can pass the NLE. Your anger is justified!!
Here in Baguio, a consistently top performing school is St. Luis Univ. (SLU) ...always a 90% or better (this exam 302 takers ..299 passed!!!) I applaud this University for its year after year performance standards!
At the Univ. of Baguio you at least had a 50/50 chance with 527 examinees resulting in 263 passers (50%) and a better chance at the Univ. of the Cordilleras (Baguio College Fndtn) where 248 takers resulted in 150 passers for a respectable (60%).
Yet just down the street is Baguio Central Univ. who put 639 students into the exam with only 233 passers (36%).....or even more disturbing is Pines City College with 977 examinees and 277 passed...(28%) thats 1,600 plus students of which 1,100 FAILED from these two schools alone.

There are HUNDREDS of nursing schools with similar performance of BCU and Pines City, and the loosers are the students who spent millions of pesos for a 4 year education that resulted in NO JOY at the biggest exam of their career!! I cannot believe that out of 1600 students over 1100 are not intelligent enough to pass this exam...more likely than not it was a poor education that resulted in this terrible perfomance disparity.
How did YOUR school perform?
I feel your anger.

Really? I mean she just have seen your teacher 2 to 3 times per sem? How about the lectures and stuff? Who are teaching them those things? And yes, as a student nurse perhaps it would be nice if we will work as "nurses", so that we could feel how it is to be a nurse. I'm not against the "pampering" of the clinical instructors but would it be possible to be just on our own?
But then, you guys are right. Its students like me should focues on being independent, not being too dependent. I have this classmate where we were lecturing and the teacher isn't giving handouts and she was like,"Why didn't he gave handouts?" Too much reliance, eh?
