Free
review for June '06
nursing board passers
MANILA.-
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Association
of Deans of Philippine Colleges of Nursing (ADPCN) on Saturday
agreed to provide free one-week special review sessions to
any of the 17,000 June 2006 nursing board passers who would
choose to take tests 3 and 5.
The
partial retake was suggested by the United States' Commission
on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) after it decided
that it won't issue VisaScreen certificates to those who took
and passed what it called the "compromised" June
2006 nursing licensure exam.

POLITICS
WITHOUT CONVICTION
 |
|
Political
parties do not serve our interests as a people,
two out of every three Filipinos surveyed revealed. |
That
is the state of the nation today - politics without
conviction, politicians without principles. This is
a result of the death of the two-party system - unlike
the vibrant days of the Nacionalista Party and Liberal
Party. It was front-page news, a major event for a politician
to bolt a party, then. What about now?
