On Malacananag Order of Nursing Exam Retake

THE nursing graduates who passed the licensing exams in June will need to retake only two parts of the test where questions were leaked, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said yesterday.

Senator Richard Gordon, who led a Senate investigation into the leaks, welcomed the President’s decision.

“I have long maintained that the only way to put closure to this matter is, at the very least, by way of requiring a retake of tests 3 and 5 of the board exams for everyone shown to have received the leaked exam questions,” he said.

And those responsible for the leaks should be caught and punished, Gordon said.
