Dr. Ruby Mediona, Associate Dean, BUCN also expressed, “As one of the faculty members and the administrator of Bicol University College of Nursing, we rejoice. We are happy and proud of our students”, she said.
Mediona thought that it is a real divine intervention because this year, there were only 3 BU graduates who belong to the top 10 but then Bicol University ranked as 2nd top performing school for nursing.
“Honestly, I did not expect that we would be the Top 2 Performing Nursing School, but we are really grateful and we are very proud to our students and that the performance of the school was recognized”, she added.
Mediona also encourage the students to value their education. Knowing that nursing is an expensive and difficult course, students must embrace small sacrifices and give importance to their education.
“My message to the future nurses, is that they have to live up to the expectation of humanity that nurses are expected to care. Especially, the Filipino nurses are known globally as caring nurses. They must have that TLC (Tender Loving Care) and always develop their selves personally and professionally”, Mediona added.
The university ranked 5th in the top performing schools.
Moreover, to maintain the college’s performance and enhance the students more, BUCN aims to improve the quality of instruction and make use of several teaching strategy. Other than the lectures and interactive discussion.
