sorry for the error...iam not yet a RN maybe thats why iam not yet fluent in english! id rather be not fluent in english than....having a bad attitude (laughing at someones error)

oh lanting? its much cheaper noh? i should check them next sem...

you mean it is not advisable to take up PN? what if after 1 sem you're going to shift it to RN, you think subjects will be credited? that school promises that they can take you abroad, they say that you will take your NCLEX abroad...??? my cousin was enrolled with this program, is she wasting time and money?

yes i did found a school, but not my choice...they offer nursing just this year (IT school). while iam searching a solution for this tattoo (hmpt!) i will spend my whole sem with them. i have 6 months to get rid of this, but i dont know what to do...to use a concealer or to have it remove permanently. anyone use "tat b gone?"

hi, my cousin is now at her first sem taking PN, i just want to ask if shes going to shift it to RN course the next sem, will her subjects be credited? thanks sorry for the question if already posted.

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: The University of the Philippines-Manila, 99 percent; St. Paul College Iloilo and Silliman University, 98 percent; University of Santo Tomas, 97 percent; West Visayas State University, 96 percent; St. Louis University-Baguio and Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Manila, 95 percent; Southern Luzon Polytechnic College, 91 percent; Trinity College of QC and Cebu Doctors College, 89 percent; Mountain View College, 88 percent; Remedios Romualdez Memorial School-Manila and UE-Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center, 87 percent; St. Paul University-Tuguegarao, 84 percent; Velez College-Cebu, San Pedro College-Davao and Cebu State College, 82 percent; De La Salle University-Dasmariñas and University of La Salette-Santiago, 81 percent; and Romualdez Medical Foundation, 80 percent. Listed as the 20 worst performing schools were Mapandi Memorial College, nine percent; M.V. Gallego Foundation Colleges, 15 percent; Galang Medical Center, 17 percent; Unciano Colleges, 18 percent; Good Samaritan Colleges, 19 percent; Lipa City Colleges, Immaculate Conception College-Albay, Mabini Colleges and St. Gabriel College-Kalibo, 20 percent; Notre Dame Jolo College and Philippine College of Health and Sciences, 21 percent; Golden Gate Colleges, Northern Christian College and Tecarro College Foundation, 22 percent; Dr. P. Ocampo Colleges, De Ocampo Colleges and World Citi Colleges-QC, 23 percent; San Pablo Colleges and Medina College, 24 percent. Santiago said a total of 55,744 nursing school graduates took licensure tests from 1999-2003. Only 27,345 of them, or 49 percent, passed the tests. MEDIUM-SIZED SCHOOLS RATING Santiago has also bared a new list of some of the country's highest and lowest rated nursing schools, this time focusing on medium-sized institutions. The new list enumerated the 20 highest rated medium-sized nursing schools, with 61 to 98 percent of their graduates passing the annual licensure examinations from 1999 to 2003, as well as 20 lowest rated schools, with zero to just 31 percent of their graduates making the grade over the same period under review. The fresh list, based on records of the PRC and the CHED, covers nursing schools with less than 100 examinees. The previous list covered nursing schools with over 100 examinees. The 20 highest rated medium-sized nursing schools and the percent of their graduates passing the licensure tests are: Mindanao State University-Marawi City, 98 percent; Mary Johnston College-NCR, 96 percent; St. Paul College-Dumaguete City and Philippine Christian University-Manila, 95 percent; Xavier University Cagayan de Oro City, 94 percent; St. Dominic Savio College-Central Luzon, 93 percent; University of the Philippines-Leyte, 92 percent; St. Mary's University-Bayombong, 89 percent; St. Dominic Savio College-Manila and Dr. Gloria Lacson Colleges-Central Luzon, 88 percent; Sacred Heart College-Lucena City City, 83 percent; St. Mary's College-Tagum, 74 percent; University of St. La Salle-Western Visayas, 71 percent; Philippine Women's University-Manila, 69 percent; Concordia College-Manila, 68 percent; Mindanao Sanitarium and Hospital College of Medical Arts-Soccksargen, 67 percent; Holy Trinity College-Puerto Princesa City, 64 percent; Baliuag Colleges, 63 percent; Philippine Women's University-Quezon City, 62 percent; and Surigao Education Center, 61 percent. The 20 lowest rated medium-sized nursing schools are: Isabelo Calingasan Memorial Institute Southern Tagalog, 0 percent; Perpetual Help Paramedical School-Bicol, five percent; Lyceum of Northern Luzon-Ilocos, seven percent; Jamiatu Marawi Al-Islamia Foundation-Soccsksargen, eight percent; Immaculate Conception College-Manila, nine percent; Urdaneta College of Technology and Perpetual Help College-Pangasinan, 17 percent; Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation-Bicol, 19 percent; Pamantasan ng Araullo-Central Luzon, 20 percent; Medina College-Pagadian City, 21 percent; Carthel Science Educational Foundation-Central Luzon, 24 percent; St. Luke's College Foundation-Central Luzon, 25 percent; Pangasinan College of Science and Technology, 26 percent; Southern Bicol Colleges, 27 percent; University of Batangas, 28 percent; Laguna Northwestern College, 29 percent; Bacarra Medical Center-Ilocos and Abra Valley College, 30 percent; and J.P.
