Nursing licensure exam result dismal–PNA Manila Times 2/24/09
“I am not happy with the board exams result. The mortality rate should not be that big,” said the Philippine Nursing Association (PNA) Inc. President Teresita Barcelo on Monday. Barcelo said the government has to implement measures to improve the quality of nursing education after expressing concern over the dismal result of the recent nursing licensure exam. Part of the reform is an enhanced curriculum that will ensure that nursing students get quality education in their chosen field, Barcelo added.
The steep decline in the number of those who passed the board exams this month was also observed with some concern by former PNA President Dr. Leah Primitiva Samaco-Paquiz. “During our time, the passing rate was about 80 percent,” Samaco-Paquis said, noting that the decline started way back in the 1970s when the Marcos administration “rationalized” the nursing curriculum and changed the five-year course offering to the current four years.
Statins might just prove to be real miracle drugs. They do a great job at lowering cholesterol, and they also appear to have a multitude of other medical benefits. They work by altering the metabolism of cholesterol, a complex fat that the body needs for many purposes. For example, cholesterol forms a vital component of cell membranes and nerve sheaths; it forms the basis of sex hormones; and it enables bile acids to process the food we eat. Most of the body’s cholesterol is produced by liver cells, and most of the rest comes from the food we eat.

NURSING jobs are simply not there for thousands of Filipinos hopeful of
going to the United States. At the moment. “The US still needs nurses
