2 SU grads in top 10 of Nursing board

This new worthy item is published in the Dumaguete Metropost:

Two fresh graduates of the SU College of Nursing topped the Nurse Licensure Examination, based on the results released Feb. 16 by the Professional Regulation Commission.

Ingrid Doreen S. Dumalagan placed 9th and Bonife Marie S. Gaso, 10th. Both led the group of 367 passers from Silliman - the highest on PRC's list of schools "with 50 or more examinees and with at least 80 percent passing percentage".

Silliman’s performance reinforces its status as a Center of Excellence in Nursing Education as designated by the Commission on Higher Education.

The Dean of the College is Prof. Florenda Cabatit.

Additionally, the FU College of Nursing has produced 27 new nurses in the recent Nursing Licensure Examinations.

Nenita P. Tayko, dean of the FU College of Nursing, said the passers account for 64.29 percent of the 42 students who took the December 2011 NLE in Cebu City.

The national passing average in the NLE is 33.92 percent.
