A Nurse Passer responds to my blog
November 2, 2006 by naomicorpuz
Read my post previous to this. I wrote my say on the issue on the Nursing Board exam leakage. I said that I am for a "total retake." Then my cousin Baby Girl Fernando who recently had her oath gave her comment. Read on, it would give us a glimpse on their side of the issue - "mga inosente na pumasa" — her insights are interesting and very informative:
Hi everyone! Miss you all! kamusta kayong lahat?? heheh
thanks for the advice ate naomi and tita helen..
I appreciate it so much! :p
I
actually posted the news because I wanted to post the latest news and
show it to my fellow nurses..hehehe It was my first time to read the
news again since last september kasi hindi nako nakikinig or nagbabasa
because it’s sooo depressing..

yeah, it’s
so sad that all of us was burdened with this issue… But I think that
I’ll accept the court’s decisions and just move on. The issue had taken
all our time and for four months we did nothing but wait. That’s enough
of a delay for me, hehe :p… Anyway, Now, our licenses are being
given to us and still they are talking about another petition to stop
it.. It’s cruel..

Pinapalaki nila ‘yung
issue and that’s the main reason why there is a stigma in the first
place. Let’s face it, all exams has leakages even before this. And of
course I’m not saying it’s right to have that, but they should have
solved it, quietly, professionally and as much as possible discretely..
I mean, hindi ‘yung agad agad sila magrereklamo in front of the media
people and let the whole world know it. Hindi pa nga cla cgurado if
lahat nga nagcheat inuunahan na nilang sabihin on national t.v. Of
course people from abroad would think that way na lng: THAT ALL
BATCH 2006 ARE CHEATERS.. :’( Pilipino sinisira ang kapwa Pilipino…
And not only that, they also destroyed everyone’s future, our integrity
and us as a person…

I
think that the leakage was distributed the night before the exam…
Questions from the actual NLE. And If we take note, It’s Questions not
ANswers… Meaning it’s just like you had answered the test the same
way, one advantage nga lang is that you get to answer ahead of
time. Nobody knows what the correct answer is.. I think all nurses who
had taken the exam, even the review centers, will agree if anyone will
say that the answers that we sometimes come up with even if we research
it are sometimes wrong.. Ang BON are the ones who really know the
answers to their questions. We have experienced sa review center namin,
RCAP, na kung minsan, ‘yung same type of questions nag iiba iba ‘yung
answers. It’s because the questions are situational. More of analysis.
Sa multiple choice parang lahat ay tama because each
has its own theories to support it. But you have to choose the BEST
one… Another factor that we should take note is that, yung leake
ipanalabas The Night Before.. And it was not specified by the review
centers who had distributed it that it was the actual questions of the
exam. Pag isinend pa nila through emails or fax, students may not even
bother to read it because by that time, tulog na or hindi na magbabasa
because It’s always a rule to rest your brain a day before exams. Pag
magcracram, mabloblock out.. And pag binasa nga, hindi naman lahat
mamememorize except if one has a telegraphic or a very excellent
memory… hehhehe Anyway, that’s only my opinion.. hehehe God is the
only one who really knows.. and I agree with Tita Helen that God will
eventually help us because we are innocents.. If ever mag uulit kumuha
ng exams God will also help us.. But yeah, ate naomi, you also have a
point. If one really wants to get the stigma out of his name, then one
should really take the exams again… hehe With that, he wouldn’t
bother to explain himself over and over again to people who will ask..

BUt
We did not cheat and our consciences are clear. So We have nothing to
fear because we are confident that we passed not because of the leakage
but because we really studied. Anyway, the exam is just an exam. There
are a lot of factors that will determine your competency. Academic
and Practical knowledge, If one fails either way, then one will surely
fail the rest of the way… What if he/she got the highest score in the
board exam but she doesn’t know how to practice her duties correctly.
Puro theories hindi naman inaaply, then mamamatay din ‘yung patiente…
Also, if you are going to work abroad, there are other exams like NCLEX
and CGFNS to take.. masmahirap pa nga ‘yun compared to the NLE. So
mascrecreen talaga ‘yung mga nurses who are and will be applying
abroad…

Everyone
has to prove themselves eventually. Even if they don’t belong to our
batch. Because in this profession, one should really maintain the
quality of nursing and one’s competency on the job because we are
dealing with lives… Graduate ka man ng year 1998 or 2006 you still
have to prove yourself..

God has his own
reasons why we are facing these challenges right now. And I never
regretted that I took the exam this last june because even if our batch
has a lot of ups and downs, it benifited us because we became much
stronger. We had learned many lessons and our faith to God grew
stronger.. heheh
