BASED on the recently released result of the December 2009 Integrated Comprehensive Nurse Licensure Examination, the University of San Agustin–College of Nursing placed 3rd among the twenty-three nursing schools in Western Visayas.
The college obtained an overall passing performance of 83.82 per cent, which is far beyond the national passing performance of 39 per cent. In the national level, the University ranked 14th among the more than 300 schools of nursing in the country. This is according to the data published by the Board of Nursing and the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
Records show that more than half of the nursing schools in Region 6 have not obtained more than a fifty per cent passing rate. St. Paul University and West Visayas State University bagged the number one spot in the region for schools having 100 and more examinees and having thirty to ninety-nine examinees, respectively.
In November 2009, the Commission on Higher Education released a memorandum citing the best nursing schools in the Philippines. In said memo, the University of San Agustin placed 15th among more than 300 schools.
These data have clearly shown that the college is continuing to attain its goal to be one of the best nursing schools that offer satisfactory nursing education, not only in the region but also in the country.
