Salvani, together with representatives from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)βMs. Ana Biglete (CHED-CO), Dr. Elizabeth H. Bautista, and Dr. Godfrey G. Mendoza (CHED-CAR)βwith the assistance of PRC-CAR representative Geneveive F. Gumiyaoβconducted a joint physical inspection and monitoring of nursing facilities and programs at the University of the Cordilleras (UC), Baguio City. The activity was likewise joined virtually by Technical Panel members/evaluators Dr. Evalyn Abalos and Dr. Daisy Palompon.
The activity was conducted pursuant to Republic Act No. 9173, or the βPhilippine Nursing Act of 2002,β particularly Article III, Section 9(d), which mandates the Board to ensure the quality of nursing education by examining the prescribed facilities of universities and colleges offering nursing programs and ensuring that established standards of nursing education are properly complied with and maintained. The inspection also supports the Boardβs written recommendations to CHED concerning the opening and closing of colleges of nursing and nursing education programs.
The inspection was welcomed by University of the Cordilleras officials led by Dr. Nancy M. Flores, University President, together with Dr. Judith Odanee G. Magwilang, Dr. Nova C. Baldo, Dr. Ariel Nimo B. Pumecha, Dr. Rhodora Ngolob, Judith A. Layao, and Ms. Beverly B. Chapicap. Through this collaborative initiative, the PRC and CHED continue to strengthen quality assurance in nursing education and ensure that nursing institutions provide appropriate facilities and learning environments that support the development of competent and qualified future nursing professionals.
