The answer is simple: choose the school that has a proven track record. Track record means a school’s ability to produce a high performance rating through its graduates in the Nurse Licensure Examination administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). And the Bachelor of Science in Nursing of St. Dominic Savio College is one of the privileged few.
SDSC’s BSN program has consistently landed among the Top Performing Schools in the PRC Nurse Licensure Exam producing an average of almost 90 percent performance average over the last six board exams since June 2003. Likewise, several of its alumni have landed in the Top 10. SDSC’s Board Topnotchers include Myrene Villanueva, (86 percent) Top 1, Idohna Santiago, (84.2 percent) Top 7 and Wilfredo Pacheco, (84 percent) Top 8 (June 2003); Mary Jane Paez, (86.2 percent) Top 1 and Diosdado Alava, (84.2 percent) Top 7 (December 2003); Ma. Filipina Rimas, Top 6, and Ma. Cecil Tanlu , Top 7 (December 2005).
Likewise, Savians have also scored a 100 percent passing performance in the Nurse Commission Licensure Examination of the USA. With this outstanding feat, Savian nurses have no difficulty processing their papers and finding work in the US. Around 100 alumni are working in the different states of USA, some are even holding administrative positions.
At SDSC, there are no shortcuts for a student must comply with all the requirements, regular or second courser. Preparing them to be quality nurses starts with the very basic: the curriculum and the clinical exposures. The BSN program offered by the college is one that helps the student meet local and international standards. Prime focus is attended to the professional courses, as well as the medical courses because this is the very foundation of the profession. Supplementing these are the more than adequate exposures in the school’s affiliating hospitals. Theory is well complimented with the rudiments of clinical work to ensure that there is immediate application of their stock knowledge.
However, aside from these, would-be nurses are molded to be "thinking nurses" – one who is critical and has the necessary skills to conduct a research study. Proof of which is the number of case studies and research papers they have written.
SDSC’s vision of a quality nurse means that he/she is fully prepared to adapt to any country around the world. Thus, a cross-culture management class is offered where simulations and case studies are conducted to have a bird’s eye view of a country’s culture, political landscape, working standards, laws, etc.
More importantly, SDSC’s nurses are exposed to the technological advancements in the medical and health sectors for these are the tools they will be using once they practice the profession. However, they are still well grounded with the nursing technology of the country, making fully adaptable to any nursing environment.
As a supplement to their development, the students are exposed to various spiritual activities in which their Christian outlooks can be fully developed. Having these, the school believes, would allow them to provide the most caring and passionate care a patient truly deserves.
This is what separates the Savian Nurse from the rest in the field. Our nurses are not only intelligent but are also critical, fully aware of the big responsibilities given to him/her by society. He is adaptable anywhere in the world and can meet the pressures that come along. And more importantly he/she is a compassionate one who will never cease to provide the utmost care to those in dire need.
Choosing SDSC as one’s nursing school is worth the time and money for you will be taken care of by its accommodating staff, faculty and administration.
Nursing the Savian way is a cut above the rest.
