The June 2007 nursing licesure exam results will be released in the middle of August 2007. Only half of the 78,000 board takers are predicted to pass.
For some people, not passing the board exam may mean a closed door for opportunities for being full nurses. Good thing that the Department of Labor and Employment or DOLE have proposed a program for those who won’t make it to the licensure exam.
While they can have a re-take, one fall back offered by the DOLE is to have them licensed as practical nurses, assuming they do not want a re-take. This opens another opportunity for nurses to work abroad and practice their chosen field even though they failed the test.
Practical nursing is a two-year vocational nursing courses usually taken by high school graduates. Practical nurses’ duties are simple medical tasks, mostly dealing with patient medication and care, under the direction of a full nurse or a physician.

It may sound good but somehow many student nurses wanted really to become a full pledge nurse until they have already pass the board exam. It isn’t really easy but perseverance and hard work is really a good combination to achieve its goals. Go nurses!
