Patricia Tillo Mangat, RN
COTABATO CITY –
I will do my best to be a good nurse.
This was what
21-year-old Notre Dame University Patricia Tillo Mangat promised after learning
the results of the 2016 Nursing Licensure Examination (NLE) on Wednesday.
Mangat placed
third with an average of 85.00 percent in the exams sharing the spot with four
others.
The Philippine
Regulation Commission (PRC) reported that only 6,836 out of 14,322 examinees
have passed the NLE.
Am I dreaming?
I asked myself, Mangat told DXMS-AM Radyo Bida. As If I am in heaven when I saw my name on
the list of passers, she added.
Before she
personally saw the results, Mangat said she has been receiving text messages
from friends. Si ano, RN (registered
nurse) na, si ano yong kaklase natin, RN na, she recalled. I wondered why
nobody texted me that I am now an RN, baka di ako pumasa, sad naman, she said.
She
acknowledged the contribution of College of Nursing teachers who she described
as the best.
The best yong
mga teachers namin, malaking bagay yon, malaking bagay din ang all out support
ng parents ko, said Mangat who graduated cum laude in college and salutatorian
both in high school and elementary.
