Position Essay on the RA Gapuz Nursing Review Center Leakage Issue

Position Essay on the RA Gapuz Nursing Review Center Leakage Issue

By NASSER DUGASAN

Accordingly, I'm affected by the issue. It’s not because I was an RA Gapuz reviewee but I felt so alarmed into the situation of other nursing examinees who tried their best to take that rigorous and comprehensive licensure examination for nurses and sad to say they did not have the chance to get a copy of that controversial ‘leakage’ prior to that said test.

In the wake of that phenomenal issue, I’m so disappointed and even so disgusted since its really unfair considering the fact that RA Gapuz had privately/secretly handed that 'controversial leakage’ from the Board of Nursing in respect of the conduct of the June 11th and 12th Nursing Board Exams. What keeps me dragging now is the validity of the fact that the review center called for an emergency review as what its reviewees assert part of their final coaching.

On that same day, they were required to pay at least P 2, 000.00 for that leakage paper containing sixty five (65) items with complete answers covering topics relative to psychiatric mental nursing and surgical-medical nursing.

These factual and circumstancial pieces of evidence as confirmed and presented by ninety-one (91) complainants (Baguio nursing examinees) are deemed valid, authentic/genuine since they are brave enough to expose this issue for they are actually holding pertinent documents that will testify on RA Gapuz’ direct participation in that ‘leakage issue’.
Professionally speaking, I am amenable on the growing public clamor that the outstanding track record of that review center looms as a phenomenal question of integrity and even a perennial subject of public and professional scrutiny of their self-proclaimed credibility and excellence.
The authenticity of the facts and evidence as collected and presented by the complainants manifest to the fact the nurses/nursing professionals they have produced are just thin cans that seemingly contain something or nothing less in totality.

A true registered nurse is not a liar and is never been a cheater. He/she is professionally honest in deeds and actions from the moment he/she is reviewing for the exam, the time he/she is taking the exam and eventually the time he/she is practicing his/her profession.
A true registered nurse is professionally prepared and intellectually competent to face the professional test of their field of endeavor. Professional ethics should always be upheld at all levels, not just securing for license for personal growth and development but living up to the morals/ideals expected to practice by a professional.

Now, more than ever, professionalism and honesty in national board examinations is then imperative to expect a credible, authentic and genuine Nursing Licensure Exams. The Professional Regulation Commission must therefore strictly enforce and implement laws and policies to immediately secure legal actions to any anomaly/issue arising in respect to the conduct of any professional examination.
