A memo was posted by the Board of Nursing that instead of mass oathtaking, they can have their oath along with their registration in respective PRC regional offices. According to them, this is due to the current socio-economic situations facing their families and job scarcity facing the Filipino nurses. Read the full message here.
These statements was supported by Marco Antonio C. Sto. Tomas (one of the Board of Nursing members). He said,
"Consider this as an advisory also to all newly passed nurses. While it would certainly be my/our pleasure to see everyone in a "mass oathtaking ceremony" practical measures need be taken especially during these "trying times of economic difficulty". Individual or group oathtaking can be undertaken through the various PRC Regional Offices on same schedule of registration."
In a poll created by "PRC Board Examination Results fan page", majority of the board exam passers disagreed on the 'no mass oathtaking' rule.
Gusto po namin ma-feel ang pakiramdam ng MASS OATH TAKING, kasi dun mo mafefeel ang aura ng mga kakapasa lng sa board. Makikita mo ang tear of joy, tpos reminisce ng mga ka-barkada mo at sabay2 kayo ngng RN.. At parang kelan lang na pa cutting2 lng, puro kalokohan at ngayon ganap na na RN na.. db sarap ng ganun.. - Jacky Estrada
In favor ako sa pag minimize ng gastosin. let's be frank, its money wasted na pwede naman ma-save. punta na lang tayo sa prc na kasama mga parents at dun mag-oath tapos picture ng konti then dinner sa restaurant. oh di ba? ganun din un - Joe Tadlas
we understand what the BON said..but we cant bring our parents along while taking our oath at the pRC offices..can' t you blame us..we still want to see our parents more happy when we have our oath..if you dont have any good thing to say, can you please just shot your mouth..you exprienced to do your oath taking with your parents arround you..we just want to have a MASS OATH TAKING so that our parents know that we are very serious with our chosen profession and to know that they deserve all the sacrifices that they made for us.. - Eljhay Misola
Doesn't the news say that you will still have your oath? but not just in a fancy way like being held in SMX? still as i said, an oath is an oath wherever it is taken. what's important is you've taken that pledge even if its not done in a gregarious way. maybe you have taken the word "no mass oathtaking" so loosely that's why you all get mad. read the news carefully in order for you guys to just be thankful you have passed that hard test and soon have that pledge done at last. god bless you all :) - Rocel Bande
