A group of deans of nursing schools asked the Board of Nursing (BON) of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to "inhibit (itself) in the discharge of its functions" until board members are cleared of responsibility in the controversy over leaked exam questions.


In a position paper, the Association of Deans of Philippine Colleges of Nursing Inc. (ADPCN) headed by Dean Carmelita Divinagracia, also asked the PRC to "act with haste on the matter."

                    [Summary] => Nursing programs at 32 schools will be phased out by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) this coming school year because of poor performance by their graduates on the board examinations, an official said yesterday.


Dr. Fely Marilyn Lorenzo, Technical Committee on Nursing Education head, said for the past five years, the schools registered below a 30-percent passing rate on the board exams.


Lorenzo said at present, "the Philippines is the best source of professional nurses worldwide... but many countries are threatening that position."

The planned aptitude test, which would be given by the Commission on Higher Education, would cover doctors and graduates of four-year college courses who intend to take up nursing.


The committee has recommended that the special program allowing  doctors to get a nursing degree in two years be discontinued.
