New Nursing Curriculum For Higher Passing Rate

Although an increasing number of students graduate from nursing schools, less than 50 percent the license exams. In the nursing licensure exams given by the Professional Regulation Commission PRC in December 2007, only 43.4 percent of 67,228 nursing students passed the exams.

To guarantee a more satisfactory passing rate for the Filipino nursing graduates, the Commission on Higher Education CHED is making alterations to the existing local College of Nursing Curriculum to adopt to the international standards. CHED is utilizing the results of December 2007 nursing licensure exams as foundation for the new curriculum.

Alterations are very possibly going to be viewed in areas where most nursing students were unsuccessful especially English language and communications.

Since the lessons taught nowadays are more voluminous than in the past years, the new curriculum is required to be taken in 5 years. Longer time must be spent by students to become skillful at their chosen professions. to pass licensure exams, mastery is needed and to achieve mastery, time is required. [via]
