(to think that this is just one school!)

ive heard that the PRC had estimated about 80000 to 100000 examinees will take the nursing board this june. whew! that's a lot! already considering the large number of nursing graduates every year, another contributor for this increasing number examinees is the low passing rate of nurses. with a national passing rate of more or less 50%, the number of examinees just keep on accumulating. i hope the gov't would do something about this soon enough, starting on improving the quality of education in our country. some nursing schools should focus on teaching their students rather than earning money.

the board exams will take place on june 1 and 2.

the results will come out after 3 months, maybe late August.
