I wonder why FEU’s not on the list. With the efforts of the Institute of Nursing, I am sure we will be included in that list next time around.

December 7th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
average po kasi ata ito for the past 5 years.. kaya wala ung FEU-IN..
tska nakalagay sa first list, Top 20 Nursing Schools with 1,000 and more takers, eh ang alam ko FEU at OLFU lang ang may ganun ka daming takers so that means total ito nung before pa na nagtatake and not necessary ung 2009 takers..
December 8th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Minsan kasi bias ang syrvey na nilalabas ng CHED sa top 20 schools…gaya ng nangyari sa TOP 20 LAW SCHOOL…tama bang pagsamahin ang lahat ng LAW SCHOOL..halimabawa ang si LAW SCHOOL 1 ay may 10 takers lang at 5 ang pumasa,ibig sabihin nun 50% sila..si law school 2 naman ay more 50 takers at nasa 30% lang sila..kung percentage ang basehan eh di mas mataas si law school 1…ang gulo ng set nila sa top 20 schools..im from FEU,at yung jd-mba at TOP 4 law school..pero 1st time palang nag take ng jd-mba jointly offered by feu-dlsu..kaya nag reklamo ang UST kasi top 7 sila…unfair daw yung kasi mas marami ang takers nila kesa sa FEU-la salle…
Gaya ng latest na nilabas ng CHED sa top 20 NURSING school..bat hindi nila nilagay ang period covered ng survey para malaman..anu Dinoktor nila ang result?hahaha..kung 5 yrs ang covered ng SURVEY..di hamak na mas magaling ang FEU MANILA kesa ST. La salle sa nursing…mas marami ang FEU takers pero nahihigitan nila ang ST. La salle..tingnan nyo pa sa PRC..jijijij
December 12th, 2009 at 12:48 am
yup, totoong maraming takers ang pumasa from FEU nung mga nakaraang NLEs, pero, we have to take note na marami ding bumagsak..aun ang problema dito, kaya naman pala nating magproduce ng sandamakmak na boardpassers, 4 the record, surpassing all other universities, eh bakit hindi natin mas ayusin ung screening method..again, if we will look at boardexam passers, FEU ung may pinakamaraming naipasa, pero, tayo rin yung may pinakamaraming naibagsak..
imagine, nung previous NLE, 1200 yung takers from FEU, 800 yung nakapasa, 400 yung bumagsak…kung nascreen ng Institute of Nursing natin yung 400 na bumagsak, HAY NAKU!!!EH DI SANA TOP PERFORMING SCHOOL NA FEU!!!EVEN BETTER THAN UP, UST, AND OTHER SCHOOLS WHEN IT COMES TO NURSING!!
IN, WAKE UP!!
December 14th, 2009 at 10:41 am
@janel says…
i totally disagree with you..hindi FEU ang my pinakamaraming # na bumagsak sa NLE..tingnan mo ang ibang nursing school…sa 1000 or more examinees sa isang board exam lang..FEU lang ang kayang gumawa ng 50%+ na average…
try to look at this figure..
December 2004 72%
June 2005 88%
December 2005 82%
June 2006 66%
December 2006 75%
June 2007 68%
December 2007 62%
June 2008 72%
December 2008 61%
June 2009 79%
i got this figure at FEU-IN wikipedia…i do some research about the percentage from 2006-2009..im not sure if the percentage from 2004-2005 is correct…depende pa yan kung ilang ang kumuha ng mga season na yan..pero pag sinama mo lahat yan..that average is higher than top 17-20 school…
with regards to the survey ng CHED…my mga SCHOOLS dyan na nag pa take lang ng board exam in 2007…since the report of CHED is 5 yrs,meaning yung mga school na first time lang nag pa take ng board exam nung 2007,wala pa sila nung 2004-2006 pero sinama na sila ng CHED sa list ng top nursing school…kaya nga nasabi ko na bias ang report ng CHED…
dapat ISIPIN din ng IN/ADMIN na mag impose din sila ng mas strict na policy pa para masala nila ng husto ang mga graduates ng IN…wag sila ng tanggap ng tanggap ng mga estudyante..baket hindi sila gumawa ng CUT OFF para sa freshmen..sabihin naten mga 1000 lang ang dapat i admit nila at salain yun hanggang sa drumadweyt…eh di sana mas mataas ang percentage…
December 18th, 2009 at 11:29 am
hahaha feeling talaga mga taga feu kala mo kasi kung sino kayo umasta sa mga hospital affliations ninyo. wala naman pala kayo sa top 20 performing schools haha bitter much? go tamaraws na lang nga hahaha
December 22nd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
oh…come on guys…FEU will still be FEU regardless of this list…the FEU institute of nursing have proven itself through the years as one of the best in giving quality education and producing globally competitive nurses with the best qualities… compared to all other new schools…FEU-IN is an institution itself in NURSING EDUCATION… FEU-IN is FEU-IN!

@shaq200563:
for your information, no matter how you look at it, the ranking of the Top 20 Nursing Schools by CHED would always be by percentile or else there wouldn’t be a standard tool to measure the school’s performance and capability to produce qualified nurses. Maybe that is your problem because you are too narrow-minded. CHED is actually trying to eliminate that said discrepancy between those nursing schools with more students taking the board and those with less. That is why they have TWO sets of Top 20 Nursing Schools. (Duhh?)
FYI: Those top schools with 1,000 and more takers only have 1-10 failures a take. And FEU-IN has 400? Of course percentage-wise that would hurt your standing. That is why you’re NOT in the Top 20.
And I don’t believe “dinoktor” nila ang List. They’re not stupid to just put whatever school’s name on top of that. They are an accrediting body and a government one at that. Of course they have connections with the PRC and they know how many passed and FAILED for each school. So there.

whaaaat?…1-10 failures?…are you in drugs?..haha…you’re not from FEU right?..haha..
pwed ba mag isip ka..kung 10 below lang ang bagsak sa mga school na 1000 more examinees tingin mo makakakuha ang iba ng PAVERAGE NA 80% BELOW na pasok sa top 20?…NARROW MINDED?baka ikaw…
FYI:..the said survey is 5 yrs..Bakit hindi mo tingnan ang IBANG SCHOOL na pumasok sa TOP 20..hindi ba nag open lang sila nung 2005? ang iba naman 1ST time nagpa kuha ng BOARD EXAM NUNG 2007..MEANING 2 YRS PALANG SILA YET SINAMA NA NG CHED SA TOP 20…GET MO?..haha..
FEU will always FEU..kahit hindi man NAKA PASOK SA TOP 20 na MAINTAIN PA RIN ang HIGHER THAN 50% AVERAGE kahit LIBO ANG KUMUKUHA…
December 31st, 2009 at 2:16 am
kahit anong gawin ninyong pagtatalo diyan, CHED made the list which was based on board exam performances..PERIOD!!it’s hard to accept things sometimes, but WE MUST!!tanggapin dapat natin na nagkamali ang buong Institute of Nursing sa pagaccept ng students more than its limited, world-class though, resources..eh anu ngayon kung 5-years yung span na pinagbatayan ng CHED?actually, that doesnt make any relevance..kung magaling yung school, kahit bagong bukas pa lang nyan, o katatayo lang kahapon, so what?that is actually commendable..FEU-IN is for more than 50 years in a row, so how come these “babies” in the industry outstand such institution?this situation only proves that truly, David can beat Goliath..tamaraw din po ako, im just admitting all the downfalls of FEU because i believe that accepting one’s mistakes is the start of learning..

SHAQ
I’m sure every nursing school’s goal is to make sure that 100% of students would pass the nursing board exams. There is nothing to be proud of with maintaining a higher 50% because almost half of the body failed. The assessment: There is a flaw in the system.
In my school, we get a percentage of 99% in every board exams yet we mourn for that remaining 1% because we believe that we haven’t done enough. only with proper encourage and support, that retaker would pass the next exam.
Do not blame the CHED and PRC if your school didn’t make it to top 20. They are supposed to do their jobs and the nursing schools are expected to do theirs. These schools in the top 20 deserves their recognition for the job well done as they would not only produce nurses but they produce quality and competent nurses.

FEU Institue of Law is not that good also
FEU-IL holds rank 11
Akala natin magaling sila sa Law kasi nakalagay FEU-DLSU rank 4. Well with the help of DLSU that’s why they get rank #4 but FEU alone? gosh, not even in top 10.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
@united says
are you from feu?./do you know the jd mba?..mas marami ang takers ng feu-il than feu-la lsalle…to think na pinagsama ng ched ang lahat ng law school maliit man o malaki ang population..kaya nga kinontra ng ust faculty of civil law ang ched sa result dahil top 7 sila at unfair daw…
fyi: lahat ng mga professor sa law sa feu-il ay nagtuturo din jd mba…
February 1st, 2010 at 11:54 pm
go CEU were on no. 12 just accept the statistics guys, still on denial? after this maybe you’ll feel anger but you’ll reach acceptance probably.. enjoy the green smock gown :]]
February 2nd, 2010 at 2:46 am
ang gagaling talaga ng mga prof ng CEU
February 2nd, 2010 at 8:54 pm
@united: FYI: FEU offers the Law Degree while DLSU offers the MBA…..mas strict lang tlga ang qualifications sa FEU-DLSU JD-MBA program, magaling parin FEU-IL
February 2nd, 2010 at 8:56 pm
FEU-IN the best!
February 6th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
i’m from one of the so called “pilot classes of IN”, the mere fact that FEU didn’t make it to the top 20 is because of the poor implementation of IN’s academic programs. approximately 40-50% of our batch is struggling with their academics. Sadly, the clinical instructors along with the other faculty members are doing nothing about this. Sobrang limited ‘yung interaction pagdating sa lecture and halos walang hands-on experience sa mga clinical exposure. Depande na lang siguro pag natapat ka sa magaling na ci. there was an instance that we had the same schedule with CEU. in the same area, i noticed how they focused on what they are doing, and they are at ease even if they’re ci is watching them perform the procedure. unlike FEU, they were shaking out of fear of getting humiliated and scolded by our ci. so, less yung nagagawa and poor yung performance. Masyado na kasi naging conceited ang IN.

.kawawa naman kaming hindi kilalang skul.
February 10th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
The best talaga ang Silliman University College of Nursing.
No. 1 in the Visayas and also in the nation.
February 12th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
hay naku whatever the statistics says you people cannot deny the fact that FEU GRADUATES nowadays are INVADING ALMOST all conceivable MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS in the country… and not only they have invaded, they have RISEN UP TO THE CHALLENGE… and kay feelingero so what kung wala sa top 20 ang FEU, kaw mismo malamang nakita mo HOW THE FEU STUDENTS LIVED UP TO THE EXPECTATIONS… they have been PERFORMING CONSISTENTLY WELL sa mga HOSPITAL AFFILIATIONS nila… malamang feelingero eh isa ka sa mga namangha how they perform sa mga clinical rotations nila… pity kasi many here are so narrow-minded na tinitignan lang nila eh numbers… kung performance ang pagbabasehan well sorry nalang ang iba…
?February 23rd, 2010 at 11:47 pm
sa mga taga-ceu jan na nag-ko-comment. ang yayabang nyo. eh ang dean nyo eh graduate namin. FEU grad si Dean Locquiao. karamihan pa sa faculty nyo graduate din namin.
February 23rd, 2010 at 11:58 pm
ang problema kung bakit hindi ma-implement ang selective retention policy ng IN kasi swapang at gahaman ang admin. pera at ang kikitain lang ang iniispi nila. walang respeto sa academic policy ng institute. kawawa ang IN. tuta pa nila ang dean. isipin mo nga naman kung magtatangal ka ng isang section… sa laki ng tuition ng isang estudyante, lang milyon na agad ang mawawala. talagang FEU…Fastest Earning University.
February 26th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
I think IN is now improving..considering the number of takers every board exam..still they manage the 50% above passing rate.
Kudos to the recent PHYSICIAN board exam..
FEU- Institute of Medicine Graduate ranked 1st…
February 28th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
dun sa tga ceu.. yah ggaling nga ng faculty nyu.. majority kc graduate ng FEU-IN, haha
?February 28th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
hey guys, just let it be, arguments shouldn’t be done here. let’s just be proud of our school, after all, it’s walk the walk and not talk the talk. show it to people not just tell them of your school. just saying. and besides, aren’t we civil enough to be criticized by others? :) Peace!
March 4th, 2010 at 12:39 am
Agree. We all know how great the Institute of Nursing is. But we also cannot deny the significance of statistics. The results there weren’t done in favor to any particular school but to serve as an objective gauge. And I agree with aproudtam, FEU-IN is bound to be there.
As for now, we should be happy that regardless of the numbers, it is undeniable that FEU-IN is still recognized by numerous medical institutions locally and internationally as a quality Nursing school.
Just a thought: Pa’no pa kaya ‘pag nasa listahan na tayo? ^^

March 7th, 2010 at 9:58 am
in short, hindi maganda ang foundation niyo sa nursing school, as you had said my mga school bago lang nakapasok at hindi pa umabot ng 5 years anung school yun???????
March 7th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Guys hindi school niyo ang magsasabi lahat ng percentage, lahat ng school gusto number #1 ang school nila sa ched at prc mo tignan wag sa inyong school ok??admit it from 2004 at 2009 di pa rin kayo nakapasok sa top 20, tignan mo ang fatima top palagi hindi naman sila nakasama ngayon dahil marami ang bumagsak sa kanila at hindi nila naabot ang gusto ng ched at prc.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
@ mike..
haha..walang kasalanan ang c.i nyo..kundi kayo…kayong nagaaral sa pamantasan nyo…the fact that na hired sya as C.I ng school nyo..kahit saan naman in demand ang FEU – IN graduates…we may not be in the top 20 but we deserve to be the best nusrsing school in the country..lol
