10,000 Filipino nurses took US licensure test -- labor group

A total of 9,837 Filipinos took the United States licensure examination for nurses for the first time from January to June 2008, indicating they wanted to seek employment in America, former Senator Ernesto Herrera, general secretary of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines, said in a press statement Saturday.

Herrera said the number of Filipino nurses who took the NCLEX and implicitly sought jobs in the US in the first semester was roughly steady -- just 107 shy of the year-ago takers. He said a total of 9,944 Filipino nurses took the examination in the first half of 2007.

Nursing still most preferred course

Nursing is still the most preferred course in college, despite the Commission on Higher Education’s (CHED) approval of a new guideline that school administrators claimed will burden students and their parents.

CHED approved last month a new guideline for the Nursing curriculum that college administrators said will cause more harm than good to students.

CHED issued Memorandum Order No. 5 that mandates Nursing schools to increase the number of units in the Bachelor of Science Nursing curriculum to improve the passing rate of Nursing graduates.
