PRC voids nurse test parts leaked to examinees

The Professional Regulation Commission said portions of the June 2006 Nurse Licensure Examination leaked to the examinees were invalidated after their parents stormed the PRC office upon the releases of test results, ANC reported Thursday.

The parents scored PRC for releasing the results while the probe of the National Bureau of Investigation on the test leakage is ongoing.

Leonor Rosero, PRC chairwoman, said that the contested questions were invalidated and taken out from the correction and computation of Tests 3 and 5.

"The investigation is with NBI to pursue. Kawawa na naman ang iba kung maghihintay sila ng isang taon (The investigation is with the NBI to pursue [but we have to release the results] so that the examinees will not have to wait one year [to know the results] )," Rosero said.

The NBI is investigating the leakage confirmed by a PRC fact-finding committee. According to the committee report, the leakage came from the manuscripts of nursing board members Anesia Dionisio and Virginia Madeja. The two are facing administrative charges for neglect of duty.

More than 17,000 of the 42,000 examinees passed the board examinations held from June 11 to 12. The board top notcher came from the University of Pangasinan, with a 83.20 percent score. The second placer was from the University of the Philippines in Manila.

Of the schools with more than 100 examinees, Saint Louis University in Baguio City topped the performance list. It has been reported that the examination leakage took place in Baguio.
