Free Philippines Nurse Licensure Exam Training Boosts Pass Rate to 97%
Manila, PHI (May 28, 2024) - On May 6, 2004, an estimated 1,000 prospective nurses who participated in a free Nurse Licensure Exam (NLE) Masterclass provided through the support of Health Carousel Philippines arrived at testing locations to begin the grueling two-day Philippines Regulation Commission nurse licensure examination. Two weeks later, on May 14, 97% of the training participants were delighted to learn they had passed. That's a passing rate of 27% higher than reported by the Philippines Regulation Commission rate for all test takers. Factoring in the significant difference in pass rates between Masterclass participants and the general test-taker audience, the additional test preparation boosted the Philippines' nursing supply by 270 nurses, which is critically important, as the Philippines is still recovering from a wave of nurse resignations during the pandemic.
Feedback from participants on the training was notable, with one attendee commenting, "Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to attend webinars like this. It really helps, especially with all the knowledgeable and professional speakers who gave us the needed information. More please! God bless."
Dr. Ray A. Gapuz, Jr. DSc., RN, author of Mosby's Essential Concepts for the Philippines Nurse Licensure Exam and NCLEX RN in a Flash, led the three-hour training session attended by over 1,500 nursing school students from more than 50 Philippine colleges and universities. The training marks the sixth NLE Masterclass sponsored by Health Carousel Philippines since the spring of 2021. The six Masterclasses have provided over 14,000 hours of free training to 5,000+ nurses seeking entry into the profession.
