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-Dasmari?as 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.

At this point, the reality is that nusing jobs here in the US are not as plentiful as they used to be. 46 out of 50 states are in the verge of bancruptcy. The recession is still rampant eventough the federal government claims that it is over. People are still losing their jobs and homes. There is the looming danger of a “double-dip recession” which, according to experts say is going to be a hell of a lot worse than the first one. In my opinion it’s just a sugarcoated way of saying that we are again headed for a great depression. Same thing that happened in 1931. Nursing jobs used to be untouchable. Not anymore! California froze hiring and other states are following in its wake. A threat of marshall law is very possible if the market crashes again and people start to loot and plunder everything in sight. I have been a nurse here for 5 years and my eyes are wide open to the truth. The American dream is non existent now, sorry to burst your bubble but nurses are not safe from poverty here in the US. I am not afraid to come back to my homeland and live there again. After all, it is still my home and would forever call it my home even if my papers show that I am now an American Citizen.

Nursing is one of the most attractive courses in the country. Many of our Filipino nurses are earning lots of dollars abroad so many believed it is the most practical way to fight poverty. In fact I knew a family of four siblings where the younger brothers had to skip schooling to give Ate a chance to finish a nursing degree. Also, I met a lady masseuse in Kuwait who worked very hard in order to sustain her daughter’s nursing education. After her work in the massage parlor, she will do home service to some Filipino customers not minding the tumor on her back. So nursing schools in the country is everywhere to be found because a lot of students dreamed of becoming a nurse and earn dollars abroad someday. School owners made a lot of profit from it. However, the assurance of having the student pass the nursing board is very slim. With 42 % passing rate this year it means that in every 100 student 58 students will fail. Sad to say, for students taking up nursing course, it is a gamble.
