Now here's a bit of news that Leyteños can be proud of: Two of the Top 10 passers of the November 2009 licensure examination for nurses are from Region 8, one of whom is from Dulag, Leyte.
Mary Kristine Teraza Labanta of Dulag, Leyte, a graduate of St. Scholastica's College - Tacloban, placed 10th in the nursing board exams, while Samareño Dickson Arasa Laude of Talolora placed 3rd.
According to Dr. Antonio Lim, dean of the St. Scholastica's College in Tacloban, the institution's passing rate for the nursing licensure examinations is 96 percent.
St. Scholastica's College may have produced topnotchers but Remedios Trinidad Romualdez Medical Foundation College of Nursing probably produced more passers.
RTR College Dean Cora Gasco said 236 of the 243 nursing board exam takers from the college passed. That's a 97.12-percent passing rate.
"This is already a big honor to our school, as only seven did not make it," Gasco told the Philippine Information Agency.
