Pangasinense is ‘Top 8’ in nurses board exam

ANOTHER Pangasinense is a topnotcher in a government licensure exam.

Mae Beann Asuncion, 20, a nursing graduate from the University of Pangasinan in Dagupan City, was among the Top 10 placers in the recent Nurses Licensure Examination (NLE) held in Baguio City last month.

Asuncion obtained a rating of 85.40 percent and ranked 8th among 819 successful examinees.

“Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nag-top ako kasi yong makapasa lang talaga ang hiling ko,” she said in a television interview.

Asuncion said she was initially hesitant to pursue a nursing course but she decided it was the course for her after she got ill and was hospitalized for two weeks when she was in fourth year high school.

“Feeling ko nursing talaga yong para sa akin kasi alam ko yong pakiramdam na maging pasyente,” she said with a conviction, knowing that she can care for a patient who needs her help.

Asuncion said she has an offer to work abroad but if given a better opportunity, she will opt to stay in the country and serve her fellow Filipinos. (AMM_PIA-Pangasinan)
