Abstract :
The Nursing Licensure Examination (NLE) is
a test mandatory to all aspirants for registration as
professional nurses as ordered by RA 9173. It serves as a
means of maintaining the quality of the nursing
profession after they have been trained and schooled in
their respective institution. It measures the competencies
of the nursing professionals who are believed to have
acquired the necessary skills, knowledge, and attitude in
the practice of their profession. Unfortunately, the
testimonies during the recognition of the NLE passers
from Isabela State University- Echague (ISU-E) College
of Nursing (CON) perceived other subjects as very
difficult, difficult and easy. This enabled the researchers
to determine the significant relationship between the
licensure exam performance and perceived level of
difficulty among NLE takers in November 2022 of ISUE-
CON. This study covered ninety-five (95) nursing
graduates from ISUE-CON who passed the PNLE in
November 2022 regardless of where they took the exam.
All the participants voluntarily submitted their board
rating results to the researchers ensuring confidentiality.
The researchers used a descriptive correlational design to
determine whether there is a significant relationship
between the licensure exam performance and perceived
level of difficulty of the participants. The data revealed,
Medical Surgical Nursing is the most difficult among 11
nursing subjects during the NLE perceived by the
participants. And the board ratings of the participants
have a good result. Hence, data revealed that the level of
difficulty perceived by the participants in different
nursing subjects has no significant relationship to their
licensure exam performance.
