Quality of nursing schools in the Philippines: Trends and evidence from the 2010-2016 Nurse Licensure Examination results.

Nursing Outlook 2018 December 13
BACKGROUND: The quality of undergraduate nursing programs offered by higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines is usually evaluated using Nurse Licensure Examination (NLE) results.

PURPOSE: To describe NLE trends in 2010 to 2016, compare low- and high-performing HEIs, and examine the association of HEIs' characteristics with NLE passing rate.

METHODS: NLE and HEI data were collected from two Philippine government agencies. Descriptive statistics were used to present NLE trends, while multiple linear regression was used to determine the association of HEI characteristics with NLE passing rate.

DISCUSSION: There was a downward trend for NLE takers and passers from 2010 to 2016. Regression results showed that location, size, type, year of establishment, and student-faculty ratio were associated with NLE passing rate.

CONCLUSION: HEIs should consider decreasing their student-faculty ratio to improve NLE performance. Relevant government agencies should take measures to improve most HEIs' NLE performance in the Philippines.
