How Nursing Students Are Coping with the May 2025 PNLE Results
The release of the May 2025 Philippine Nurse Licensure Exam (PNLE) results brought a wave of mixed emotions for thousands of nursing graduates across the Philippines. With 6,935 passers out of 10,770 examinees, this 64.39% passing rate was not just a number—it was a moment of celebration, anxiety, and reflection for many.
Triumphs Worth Celebrating
This season saw exceptional performance from several schools. Angelica Ferrer Dator of Southern Luzon State University-Lucban topped the board with an impressive 90.00%, and universities like Eastern Samar State University-Borongan and Universidad de Zamboanga-Pagadian proudly posted 100% passing rates.
Among institutions with more than 100 examinees, the University of Pangasinan led the way with a near-perfect 99.16% passing rate—proof that excellence is blooming nationwide.
But What Comes After the Results?
As highlighted by the Indian Express, many students, even those who passed, still feel unsure about the next step. Will they land their first job? Are they truly ready for the clinical field? For others, not seeing their names on the list can feel like a crushing blow to their self-worth.
The truth is: the PNLE is only one chapter. Whether you passed or not, the journey toward becoming a nurse doesn’t end here—it continues with preparation, community, and support.
The Need for Support Systems
Nursing schools and professional organizations must now turn their attention to support and guidance. This includes:
Mental health counseling for both passers and non-passers
Career orientation sessions to help visualize next steps
Encouragement for repeat takers, highlighting stories of nurses who succeeded on their second or third try
Encouraging resilience over perfection is the key to keeping passionate future nurses in the profession.
