Pinoy R.N. 2.0
2008-03-29 20:59:00 Pinoy R.N. just got a virtual surgery... Ok, the right word is upgrade.Actually, the upgrade is long overdue. This blog has been using the same old tired 'tic tac' template since its inception in December of 2005.The old template had very limited feature set and was restricted to manual HTML and CSS coding whenever some tweaking was necessary. Doing back-end maintenance on the blog was both tedious and time-consuming with all the cryptic html codes.So, this author finally took the plunge and upgraded to a newer and easier to use drag and drop template. Now with little or less time spent on back-end tweaking, Pinoy R.N. readers can expect more up-to-date nursing updates and information from this side of the world wide web.Don't forget to vote in our poll and let us know what you think of the new Pinoy R.N.Visit www.PinoyRN.co.nr now for other up-to-date nursing news and information.

Update on the December 2007 Nursing Board Exam Results
2008-02-21 06:14:00 In an interview over Inquirer.net, Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) chair Leonor Tripon Rosero said that the results of the December 1 and 2, 2007 Nurse Licensure Exam ination will be released Thursday February 21, 2008.A nursing blog (not Pinoy R.N.) erroneously reported a supposed quote from a member of the PRC-Board of Nursing saying that the results would come out by February 20, 2008. As a result, thousands of nursing examinees flocked to the PRC website (www.prc.gov.ph) which resulted to the server going down due to limited internet hosting bandwidth.In the same Inquirer.net interview, Rosero said that the national passing rate was 43.42 percent. She added that it was “within the usual range.”Pinoy R.N. will post the results here as soon as it is officially released by the PRC.Source: Inquirer.net ReportVisit www.PinoyRN.co.nr now for other up-to-date nursing news and information.
