(Update) Baguio grad tops 2008 nursing board exam
A nursing graduate from Baguio City topped the November 2008 Nursing Board Exam.
The 2008 topnotcher of the nursing board exam is Jovie Ann Alawas Decoyna of Baguio Central University. She passed the exam with a score of 89 percent.
Decoyna was among the 39,455 nursing graduates who passed the nursing board exam.
Decoyna, the youngest of the six children, is still fascinated with the result.
She still can't believe that she bested graduates of other well-known universities.
Decoyna comes from a poor family. Her father is a farmer in the town of Bakun, Benguet while her mother is a domestic helper in Taiwan.
“Family ko kasi ang inspirasyon ko,” she said, adding that her mother was her most important motivation to at least passing the exam.
Former mentors of Decoyna joined in the the success of the 2008 Nurse Licensure Exam topnotcher for giving pride to their institution.
“We are so proud of her,” said Dr. Florence Cawaon, Dean College of Nursing Baguio Central University.
Decoyna is currently preparing for the National Council Licensure Examination for Nurses, a test for nurses who want to pursue their profession abroad.
