Nursing Board
Controversy
Last June 2006 board examination, there was a
complaint from 92 examinees led by Rachelle Cyndi Ong Erfe, a graduate of Saint
Louis University (SLU) in Baguio City, alleging leakage of questions in two
sections of the nursing board examination. The complainants asked the
Professional Regulation Commission to nullify the affected sections to preserve
the integrity of the licensure examination.
The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) eventually reversed its earlier pronouncements that there was no cheating when it announced that two BoN members leaked questions. According to one of the two members who were removed for “negligence,” she just inadvertently left copies in a Photocopy shop near the PRC-Manila office where she was photocopying her 500 questions. Others charged that the BoN members were bribed by the review centers to provide them with copies of their questions and answers.
U.S. based media coverage of this scandal was
sparse and little follow-up occurred. The test scandal was covered in depth in
at least one nursing magazine, the article "A Breach of Integrity" by Geneviève
M. Clavreul, RN. Ph.D. was published in November 2006.
