What I don't understand is how not being a topnotcher gets in other people's heads...<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">The bar exams results are out and my old friend from high school days passed. Congratulations to him and to all the rest who did as well. I am not sure if he topped the bar exams, and if yes, then it's a good thing. But if not, then it does not matter in the long run actually.<br /><br />Just to note, I have a friend who topped the board exam for Chemistry years ago, yet, sad but true, she still fell victim to the economic recession and job cuts in her company.<br /><br />I just stumbled upon this article about bar exams and topnotchers (<a href="http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/insights/03/31/10/bar-exam-take-it-pass-it-and-move-carlos-osi">Bar Exam: Take It, Pass It and Move On - Carlo Osi</a>). Basically his message is that he wants to tone down the celebration for topnotchers and just celebrate passing the bar exams as it is.<br /><br />I somewhat agree; the bar exams is no joke and I know people (from schools in the province) who take it, and fail year after year. And I think passing any major exam, be it an entrance exam for a prestigious university, o</span><span id="fullpost">r a licensure exam, o</span><span id="fullpost">r an aptitude exam for future employment, is in itself a major achievement.<br /><br />However, why does it matter to somebody that other people are celebrating for their own achievements? Is it classic crab mentality? Or envy of what other people have? Understanding this, I guess, requires a higher level of awareness that I do not have right now. I would like to think that my friends were genuinely happy for me when I celebrated my achievement years ago...<br /><br />How about you guys? Tell me what you think about it.<br /></span>buzzerbeeserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00885475053883252487noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761548484621271615.post-63479766244788327352010-01-24T18:03:00.001+08:002010-01-24T18:05:26.709+08:00More RP board exams abroad considered<span style="font-size:85%;">by Veronica Uy<br /><a href="http://www.inquirer.net/specialfeatures/nursingmatters/view.php?db=1&article=20100112-246854">INQUIRER.net </a><br /></span><br />MANILA, Philippines—Despite the dismal performance of first overseas Philippine nursing licensure exam in Hong Kong, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) is considering more such exams abroad, INQUIRER.net learned Tuesday.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">“PRC says it is currently engaged in other ‘offshore’ licensure exams,” PRC’s Board of Nursing member Dean Marco Sto. Tomas told INQUIRER.net.<br /><br />The results of the first overseas exam held in Hong Kong were released Monday. And only two of 90 examinees of the test held in Hong Kong last December 12 and 13 passed. The two successful examinees are Edgardo De Sesto Estrada and Jorlyn Boyayot Gagatam.<br /><br />Malacanang had instructed the PRC to administer the first overseas Philippine nursing licensure exam in Hong Kong on the requests of Filipino under-board nursing graduates working in the former British crown colony, Sto. Tomas said.<br /><br />Most of those who requested for the Hong Kong exam were not working as nurses there, Sto. Tomas.<br /><br />“(The examinees’) work right now does not totally jibe with the expected competencies of beginning nurse practitioners,” the board member said, explaining the very poor results of the exam.<br /><br />“While PRC through the Board of Nursing prepared well for this maiden exams, the sadly ‘low’ performance may be due to lack of appropriate preparation considering the years of ‘zero’ practice of these nursing graduates,” he added.<br /><br />To raise the passing rate in future overseas licensure exams, Sto. Tomas proposed that examinees first undergo a diagnostic test for their preparedness in taking the test.<br /><br />Then, instead of taking review classes, those who are not prepared may be trained by a competent agency like the Philippine Nursing Education Academy, the attached training academy of the Association of Deans of Philippine Colleges of Nursing, he said.<br /><br />“Better preparation must be made so as not to waste the hard-earned resources of these aspiring examinees,” he added.<br /><br />The Philippine nursing licensure exam in Hong Kong was conducted a couple of weeks after the November 2009 board exam for nursing graduates in the Philippines.<br /></span>buzzerbeeserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00885475053883252487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761548484621271615.post-36060820856195362792009-12-11T20:48:00.006+08:002009-12-13T22:16:44.349+08:00Apply for the ECE Board Exam<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeTXbqSboYp2n4I-CjJDXm35is7ZB_HCuLL42lWiuBwiZ2_vUcWMacbqzT26lJFu0gds6nZdbzz2xd-8CGeQH2EM-njx2X4XhbEZuXFzA86z2gejULUG3v5_wXQ3WDJoDwon2CF0JoywQ/s1600-h/Apply+for+the+ECE+Board+Exam.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 95px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeTXbqSboYp2n4I-CjJDXm35is7ZB_HCuLL42lWiuBwiZ2_vUcWMacbqzT26lJFu0gds6nZdbzz2xd-8CGeQH2EM-njx2X4XhbEZuXFzA86z2gejULUG3v5_wXQ3WDJoDwon2CF0JoywQ/s200/Apply+for+the+ECE+Board+Exam.jpg" alt="Apply for the ECE Board Exam" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414703383412571346" border="0" /></a>Here is the process and list of requirements if you want to <span style="font-weight: bold;">apply for the ECE Board Exam</span>.<br /><br />Pre-qualifications for Examination.

Rosauro Calupitan who was appointed Chairman, promulgated the mechanisms for registration and licensing. Serving with Engr. Calupitan were Engrs. Felicito Rey Signo and Rigoberto Espinosa as Members. They were registered on March 24, 1971 as the first three Electronics and Communications Engineers.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">On August 1971, the Board administered the first ECE licensure examination. After Engr. Calupitan, four (4) other members held the chairmanship of the ECE board: Engr. Felicito Rey Signo (1974-1987), Engr. Leonardo B. Faculan (1987-1989), Engr. Fortunato Q. Perlas (1989-1994), Engr. Felicito Rey Signo (1994-August 21, 1997) and Engr. Alfredo T. Fragante (November 10, 1997-to present).<br /><br />The Board issued the Code of Ethics and Conduct which delineates the specific tasks of ECEs in the practice of their profession and in relation with the State, with clients and employers, with fellow engineers, and to the profession itself.<br /><br />The Electronics and Communications Engineering profession plays a major role in the telecommunications industry. Thirty percent (30%) of the telecommunications manpower in the country are licensed ECEs.<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.prc.gov.ph/portal_articles.asp?pid=46&sid=401"><br />http://www.prc.gov.ph/portal_articles.asp?pid=46&sid=401</a></span><br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=stablothebuzp-20&o=1&p=12&l=st1&mode=books&search=electronics%20engineering%20exam&fc1=000000&lt1=_blank&lc1=A9501B&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" border="0" style="border: medium none ;" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" height="250" width="300"></iframe><br /></span>Board Reviewerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12785762320979291441noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761548484621271615.post-60013209944699836282009-12-06T20:23:00.002+08:002009-12-13T20:42:01.007+08:00Institute of Electronics and Communications Engineers of the Philippines (IECEP)<span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.iecep.ph/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Institute of Electronics and Communications Engineers of the Philippines (IECEP)</span></a><br />(IECEP) 2ND FLOOR, Kalaw Ledesma Condominium<br />117 Gamboa Street, Legaspi Village<br />Makati City<br />Tel No.: 818-68-88<br />Date of Accreditation : July 15, 1975</span><br /><br />The IECEP was founded on August 21, 1950 by a group of engineers headed by its founding president, Dean Jose S.

The Act, which contained very general provisions on the regulation of engineering and architecture, was later amended by Acts No. 3159 and 3182. On June 17, 1950, Republic Act No. 544 was enacted separating the regulation of the civil engineering profession from the coverage of Public Act No. 2985 and creating the Board of Civil Engineering. On June 16, 1956, the law was further amended by Republic Act No. 1582.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">The Board held its first fully computerized examinations on May 29, 1993 and released the results on November 9, 1993.

Later in 1937, another group of civil engineers mostly engaged in private practice formed the Philippine Association of Civil Engineers (PACE).<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">In 1950, the PACE spearheaded the passage of Republic Act No. 544 also known as the “Civil Engineering Law.” This decree made certain the growth and well-being of the profession and came to be known as one of civil engineering’s milestones.<br /><br />Through their consolidated efforts in 1972, the PSCE and PACE merged, resulting to the organization of the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE). On December 11, 1973, the PICE was registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission. Two years later, on August 13, 1975, it was accredited by the Professional Regulation Commission as the duly recognized organization of civil engineers in the Philippines.<br /><br />Committed to the advancement of the knowledge and practice of civil engineering in the Philippines, the PICE organized a Speakers’ Bureau to conduct seminars and symposia in the various fields of the profession.

The examiners were appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and Communications who was authorized to appoint the boards of examiners for the engineering, accountancy and surveying professions. The first Board was composed of Arch. Elias L. Ruiz as Chairman with Arch. Rufino D. Antonio and Arch. Federico S. Ilustre as Members.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">By virtue of Public Act No. 4007 enacted on December 5, 1932, the Board was attached to the Department of Public Works and Communications. On June 17, 1950, Republic Act No. 545 was enacted, separating architecture from the coverage of Public Act No. 2985. On September 19, 1979 the National Code for Architects was promulgated by the Board and approved by the PRC as part of the Implementing Rules and Regulations governing the practice of architecture in the Philippines.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.prc.gov.ph/portal_articles.asp?pid=10&sid=387"><br />http://www.prc.gov.ph/portal_articles.asp?pid=10&sid=387</a></span><br /><br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=stablothebuzp-20&o=1&p=12&l=st1&mode=books&search=architecture&fc1=000000&lt1=_blank&lc1=A9501B&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" border="0" style="border: medium none ;" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" height="250" width="300"></iframe><br /></span>Board Reviewerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12785762320979291441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761548484621271615.post-46013768951397261102009-10-15T20:21:00.005+08:002009-10-15T20:43:33.165+08:00United Architects of the Philippines<a href="http://www.united-architects.org/">United Architects of the Philippines (UAP)</a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Upper Basement, Cultural Center of the Philippines<br />Roxas Boulevard, Manila<br />Tel No.: 832-11-25 local 267; 832-37-11<br />Date of Accreditation : July 15, 1975</span><br /><br />The first professional association of architecture, civil engineers, and surveyors was born on September 14, 1902 with the creation of the Academia de Arquitectura y Agrimensura de Filipinas (AAAF).<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">In 1973, the Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA), the League of Philippine Architects (LPA), and the Association of Philippine Government Architects (APGA) appointed representatives to a Panel of Negotiators tasked to undertake their integration into one organization. A year after, on December 12, 1974, the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) was organized as the integrated organization. Its constitution and bylaws were adopted through a joint general meeting of the three organizations on December 10, 1975. The 1,300 members of the three organizations became automatic members of the UAP and during its first year, 700 members officially registered for membership.<br /><br />On March 26, 1975 the UAP registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and became the first professional organization accredited by PRC with a certificate of accreditation issued on May 12, 1975. That same year, the UAP established its first eight regional chapters and held its first national elections on December 12 with Jose V. Herrera elected as National President.<br /><br />In 1978, the UAP organized the National Conference on Architectural Education which resulted to the endorsement of a ladder-type curriculum for architectural education later adopted by the Ministry of Education and Culture. On March 28, 1981, the UAP initiated the preparation of the “International Code of Ethics on Consulting Services” which was formally adopted by the Architects Regional Council in Asia (ARCASIA) on August 6 of the same year. The UAP also hosted the first and the sixth Asian Congress of Architects in Manila. The UAP is a founding member of the Philippine Council for Planning and Housing (PCPH), the ARCASIA, the ARCASIA Board of Architectural Education (ABAE) organized in Jakarta, Indonesia, and the ASEAN Association for Planning and Housing (AAPH).<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.prc.gov.ph/portal_articles.asp?pid=10&sid=16&aid=2926"><br />http://www.prc.gov.ph/portal_articles.asp?pid=10&sid=16&aid=2926</a></span><br /><br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=stablothebuzp-20&o=1&p=12&l=st1&mode=books&search=architecture&fc1=000000&lt1=_blank&lc1=A9501B&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" border="0" style="border: medium none ;" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" height="250" width="300"></iframe><br /></span>Board Reviewerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12785762320979291441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761548484621271615.post-18657924365276863042009-09-26T18:36:00.002+08:002009-10-01T13:39:59.923+08:00Nclex Practice Test 101 DownloadGetting Nclex practice test questions is quite difficult because it is hard to look for good nclex materials available online.<br /><br />With the advent of the internet, it is easier now to take Nclex exams and practice at home. Previously one has to enroll in a 2-3 weeks of nursing review, which does not guarantee that you will pass.<br /><br />It has long been a marketing tactic that the more you review the more chances you will pass. This is true but what we need are nclex practice test questions because this will ensure that we are prepared with the actual nclex rn exam.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">Here's a site where you can get free nclex questions<br /><br />-> <a href="http://freenclexquestions.blogspot.com/">http://freenclexquestions.blogspot.com</a><br /><br />In some cases, the nclex test is using a more difficult question format that requires multiple right answers to be selected. The nclex test is given at pearson professional centers (ppc), and location information can be found online at the ncsbn website or at the website for pearson vue. The nclex test is used by nursing boards to award nurse licenses. I've heard time and time again that every nclex test is different but it also depend on what region that you are in. If you can get your hands on a sample nclex test is should help you prepare.<br /><br />Here's a great list of NCLEX practice tests you can use.<br /><br />-> <a href="http://nclexpracticetest.blogspot.com/">http://nclexpracticetest.blogspot.com</a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />source: <a href="http://www.bignews.biz/?id=815827&keys=nclex-practice-test-questions">Bignews.biz</a></span><br /></span>buzzerbeeserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00885475053883252487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761548484621271615.post-36704237187538580282009-08-07T21:24:00.007+08:002009-08-07T21:39:18.632+08:00Apply For The CPA Board ExamAdmission Requirements for Examinations.
