“Our societal commitment is to meet the needs of our community by producing conscientious, competent, and industry-ready nurses who value integrity and professionalism.”

CAHS (College of Allied Health Sciences) Dean, Dr. Maria Teresa Fajardo, says as she relates the university's NLE (Nursing Licensure Examination) achievements to PHINMA Education's mission of "making lives better through education."

Dr. Fajardo stressed that, despite the feats of the university in both recent and more previous Nursing Boards, CAHS would remain firm in imposing the PEN mission and ensures exams not required for admission under the program. “Everyone is welcome, as long as they are properly guided and advised.”, she adds.

However, CAHS would strictly observe current retention standards. During the 2021 Nursing Boards, PHIN- MA-University of Pangasinan (PHINMA-UPang) performed well with a Flames topnotch, 96.08% overall performance rating, and a place on the list of top-performing schools.

The department plans to maintain these successes by entrusting board courses to teachers with broad expertise in the field.

To further equip students with needed knowledge, CAHS’s dean says they will continue to propel their current programs, including webinars with leading medical institutions, such as the Asian Hospital, to “bridge the gap between books and bedside especially during this time of the pandemic.”

They also plan to extend through more connections to cater to students' preparedness for the boards and the industry setting.
