Just like in the June 2007 Nurse Licensure Examination, the UERMMMCI College of Nursing earned a 97% passing percentage in the December 2007 board exam for nurses. Back then, however, the College managed to rank No. 3 among nursing schools that fielded 100 or more examinees; this time, the College is ranked No. 2 among nursing schools that fielded less than 100 examinees, given that all but one of its 31 graduates turned recent examinees successfully hurdled the December 2007 test.

The 23 UERMMMCI alumni turned new nurses from batch 2007 are Lady Sepherissa O. Abuan, Katrina Joy S. Alvero, Mario M. Advento, Janna Kathleen Angoluan, Jewella P. Arbolente, Sandralynd M. Atienza, Maria Andrea M. Cabunilas, Christian Danielle R. Castillo, Fatima Jaquelyn L. Catolico, Bridgette P. Chanliongco, Arlyn Mariz S. Cortezano, Suzanne B. Cruz, Lily P. De Leon, Frank Luther C. Gardiola, Ronald C. Ines, Edgar Bryan C. Ladores, May G. Lagman, Louisebelle A. Malimban, Rachel Ann L. Miller, Rose Anne O. Perez, Melody B. Sanchez, Jefferson D. Sernande and Jihan Aleth O. Tagle.

The College´s seven other successful December 2007 nursing examinees were among the voluntary re-takers of Batch 2006.

For the past 20 years, the UERM College of Physical Therapy has produced board topnotchers, year in and year out. This was further proven recently via the February 2008 PT-Occupational Therapy Licensure Examination given by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), in which the College produced two topnotchers.

Ms. Laurido 4th Place	Mr. Dorado 9th Place

The topnotchers were awarded last June 20, 2008, on the College´s 20th Anniversary Foundation and Alumni Homecoming at the Tejeros Hall, Camp Aguinaldo.
