8 Nursing Schools in Northern Mindanao Cancelled Nursing Program
Commission on Higher Education ordered to cancel nursing programs of the 8 colleges in Northern Mindanao. Blessed Mother College of Cagayan de Oro is among of the 8 schools that nursing program is cancelled. According to CHED Region 10 Director Zenaida Gersana, these colleges failed to follow the order stating that all instructors should have a Master’s Degree.
These schools also lack required facilities such as laboratories and libraries. During Nurse Licensure Examination these schools also showed poor performance.
