R.A. GAPUZ Review Center (RAGRC)
Founded in 1994, the R.A. GAPUZ REVIEW CENTER (RAGRC) can be deemed to have reached the pinnacle of its success, as highlighted by being named as the recipient of the: 2004 PARANGAL NG BAYAN AWARD as MOST OUTSTANDING REVIEW CENTER during the 19th Annual Parangal ng Bayan Awards, the prestigious 2004 NATIONAL CONSUMERS QUALITY AWARD (NCQA) as TOP & QUALITY REVIEW CENTER during the 22nd Annual NCQA & People’s Choice Awards, the 2003 SHOPPERS CHOICE AWARD as NO. 1 NURSING REVIEW CENTER during the 1st Annual Shoppers Choice Awards, and the WHO’S WHO IN THE
R.A. GAPUZ Review Center is now the first and the only Nursing Review Center in the Philippines that :
- uses a computerized registration system
- uses a fully functional on-line registration system
- uses the computerized test scanner that simulate the CGFNS and NCLEX exams checking system
- provides a computer hands- on review (NCLEX) with Mr. Ray A. Gapuz himself.
- utilizes SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY
to deliver its review classes NATIONWIDE.
The center offers a comprehensive review for the local board examination. This features a refresher type of review, which discusses the major concepts integrated in the local board examination. The center utilized the T.I.P.S. (Total Innovative Personalized Supplemental Review) which shortened the traditional three-month nursing review course into 10-12 days. The T.I.P.S. review is the most innovative and a totally new review course to be introduced for the first time in the history of Local RN review. This course includes lectures and practice tests which simulate the actual Local-RN examinations and test taking techniques. Delivered in a totally innovative way, Mr. Gapuz makes every student enjoy every concept, and at the same time learn “the easy way”.
The center also offers an intensive final coaching review which highlights a review course presented in lectures, drills, practice tests and focusing exercises which provides the following:
* The most important concepts for the Local-RN exam
* Test-taking techniques and strategies for the actual Local-RN exam
* The latest trend in the Local RN exam questions
* With a bonus closed door coaching which provides the reviewees an intensive focusing review a day before the actual local RN examination.
RAGRC also offers two options for Local-RN reviewees: the weekday and weekend schedule. The weekday schedule caters to the needs of regular reviewees who have the luxury of the time to focus on their reviews. The weekend schedule, on the other hand, is perfect for the working reviewees, mothers who are busy with their domestic roles and the like.

readers! especially aspiring RNs!:) I just want to share what I personally witnessed today, at the Ray Gapuz Review Center in Ever-Gotesco branch. I seriously do not recommend this review center to anyone. Ugh, not anymore, after what happened today! We were on the middle of the lecture with Mr. Noel Heherson Vea Laciste, when out of the blue, he suddenly blurted out: “class wag kayo titingin sa labas pero pansinin nyo yung lalake na naka orange shirt.” There was a loud hooting after he said that since the guy in orange was as gym-fit as he could possibly be. A not uncommon sight for us reviewees because the guy would wait outside for our co-reviewee. The class thought Mr. Laciste, the reviewer, just admire the bod of the guy in orange… BUT… afters the hooting subsided, Mr. Laciste warned the whole class not to leave our valuables inside the classroom whenever we go out on breaks because he “feels something awful” and also reminded a RAGC staff to never let the doors open, and that there should always be a staff on the look out whenever it is breaktime. I could tell the girl, whom we have always seen with the guy in orange were all flushed and was already embarrassed by the nonchalant character maligning of Heherson Laciste to her husband (as we would learn later), mistaking her husband as a ghetto character of some sort. Before Laciste declared lunchbreak, he again reminded us not to leave our valuables unattended cuz he has a negative gut-feeling. I don’t know what transpired in 5 minutes or so because the next thing I know, the guy in orange barged inside the classroom, and confronted Mr. Laciste, all fuming mad, talking in a very strong american accent. Turns out, the guy in orange is a fil-am living in California, having his 6-weeks vacation in Manila, and accompanying his wife to her review for the boards. And overhearing what the wife of the fil-am said to her seatmate (they are just a row infront of me), she’s just taking a comprehensive review in preparation for her HAAD exam, she didn’t take the HAAD RN review but chose the NLE review because of the longer prep time of the latter. The wife hoping she can pass the HAAD so she can start processing her work visa to USA from the UAE instead of the Philippines since she want to work immediately upon landing on US soil than relying on family-based petition which could take up years before the immigrant is allowed to work. Wow! I learned a lot today. Not technical-wise but character-wise.
Just my 2-cents worth, never ever malign somebody you have not really gotten in touch with, spoken to, nor even brush shoulders with. Lest, character defamation coming from a Registered Nurse which should pose as a role model, to the aspiring nurses and fellows alike. And I think, by Mr. Laciste’s behavior, we, filipinos tend to judge our own race, in the end, we can’t blame other races bringing down people of our own color, too.
