Here's my 2 cents: as far as the overall school ratings go, I never heard of anyone passing the Philippine Local Board exams, the CGFNS, the NCLEX, or the TOEFL/IELTS on the strength of the school's name. Everyone but everyone had to do their homework. In the end, the name of the school doesn't count as much as what you put into your study and how much you used your brain, regardless.

this may help us (2nd courser) choose school to enroll to

Best and worst nursing schools bared

Rep. Joseph Santiago has released a list of the 20 best performing nursing

schools in the country, with 80 to 99 percent of their graduates passing the

annual licensure examinations from 1999 to 2003, and of the 20 worst

performing schools, with only nine to 25 percent of their graduates making

the grade over the same period.

"We are making this list available to the public so that parents may be

guided accordingly. They can avoid sending their children to deficient

schools whose graduates have at best 25 percent chance of passing the

nursing licensure tests," Santiago said.

He said the list was culled from the records of the Professional Regulation

Commission and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The list is

limited to nursing schools with over 100 examinees.

Santiago had earlier prodded CHED to grade all schools nationwide based on

the performance of their graduates in professional licensure and eligibility

tests, and to put out the ratings in the newspapers for all to see.

THE BEST AND THE WORST

Based on the list released by Santiago, the 20 best-performing nursing

schools and the percent of their graduates passing the licensure tests were:

tests from 1999-2003. Only 27,345 of them, or 49 percent, passed the tests.

institutions.

examinations from 1999 to 2003, as well as 20 lowest rated schools, with
