The San Pedro College of Davao City continues to uphold its reputation of being one of the Top 10 performing nursing schools in the Philippines by producing topnotchers.
In the recently-released results of the December 2012 nurse licensure examinations, no less than eight SPC graduates landed in the top 10 column. They are Airen Tulawi Belarmino and Fritz Dominguez Sustino, 5th placers with a rating of 84.80 percent each; Ma. Lourdes Isabelle Llerin Fernandez, Jinky Patron Guilonsod and Christine Chua Lua, 8th placers with 84.20 percent each; and Pamela Mae Gagni Cagape, Marie Angelique Chua Go and Fernan Kristoffer Marte Ocat, 9th placers with an identical rating of 84 percent each.
The John Paul ll College, a relatively new school in Davao City, also had a 9th placer.
Ms Jeannie H. Bibera, dean of the SPC nursing department, earlier in the results of the June 2012 NLE, 96 percent of the first timers passed the exam, while 67 percent of the repeaters did.
In the December NLE, 473 of the 529 total takers (including repeaters) from San Pedro, or 93 percent hurdled the examination, Bibera reported.
She said that six out of the eight topnotchers graduated with honors – two magna cum laude and four honorable mention.
Considered a high point in San Pedro’s success as nursing college was when one of its graduates, Ms Judith Piansay, topped the licensing test given in 1989, Ms Bibera bared.
She attributed the school’s outstanding record in producing topnotchers to the following factors: quality faculty, implementation of curriculum, admission and retention policies.
She also credited the San Pedro Hospital as a factor in the nursing college’s outstanding performance.
