The College of Nursing of Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan proves to be a force to be reckoned with as it recently secured its 10th consecutive 100% passing rate in the Nurse Licensure Examination.
After all 102 of its takers successfully passed the June 2019 NLE, Xavier Ateneo Nursing ranked first in the list of top-performing nursing schools in the country, alongside two other universities.
Four XU graduates were also topnotchers in the said exam. Karljan Paul Lopez Gayloa, Alyssa Lae Rafaela Go, and Chloie Jorolan Singcay shared the ninth spot (85.80%), while Samantha Bacalso Maandig ranked tenth (85.60%).
In his memo to the academic community, university president Fr. Roberto Yap, SJ wrote, “We thank once again Dean Ramona Heidi alad, the faculty, and staff of the College of Nursing for the superb guidance and steadfast support they provide our students.”
“Truly, the College of Nursing is XU’s pride and joy. Pope Francis has called the nursing profession ‘a real mission,’ and referred to nurses as, ‘experts in humanity.’ Pope Francis has said that ‘Like no other, the nurse has a direct and continuous relationship with patients, takes care of them every day, listens to their needs and comes into personal contact with them … The role of nurses in assisting the patient is truly irreplaceable,” Yap added.
