JUST IN: Excellence has once again found a home in EspaΓ±a. The University of Santo Tomas (UST) College of Nursing has officially extended its legendary legacy, maintaining its flawless 12-year streak of a 100% passing rate in the recently released Philippine Nurses Licensure Examination (PNLE) August 2026 results.
According to the results announced by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) on September 19, 2026, the newly minted Thomasian Registered Nurses (RNs) achieved a clean sweep, reinforcing the college's status as one of the premier institutions for Nursing education in the country.
This yearβs triumph holds an even deeper significance. Batch 2026 faced unprecedented hurdles during the examination period, navigating test schedules disrupted by adverse weather conditions and heavy rainfall warnings that required rescheduled dates across the National Capital Region. Yet, true to Thomasian grit, discipline, and unwavering resilience, the graduates rose above the elements to secure their hard-earned places in the nursing profession.
The nationwide board exam, administered across multiple regional centers on August 29-30 and September 11-12, 2026, saw a total of 28,652 passers out of 37,359 examinees nationwide (76.69%). Amidst a fiercely competitive landscape, USTβs 100% performance stands as a testament to the rigorous academic training, compassionate values, and holistic formation instilled by the College of Nursing faculty, as well as the relentless hard work and late-night sacrifices of the students.
As these newly licensed professionals look forward to their much-anticipated oathtaking ceremonies, they carry with them not only more than just a license, but also bearing the torch of Thomasian excellence.
To the brilliant minds and compassionate hearts of Batch 2026: Mabuhay kayo, and congratulations on another gold-standard victory! The nationβs healthcare system awaits your extraordinary service. ππ
