I have read and received some updates this day regarding the famous issue on scrapping the Mass Oath-taking for the July 2011 NLE Passers. BoN Member, Hon. Marco Antonio Sto. Tomas stated the Attire for the Oath-taking in his Official Facebook Fan Page, Jaymee Gamil of Philippine Daily Inquirer wrote about the New Regional Oath-taking rites and an Editorial from Pilipino Star Ngayon says that the Mass Oath-taking is indeed as waste of our government's (our) money:
OATH-TAKING AT REGIONAL OFFICE of THE PRC IN BAGUIO CITY FOR REGION 1 AND CAR
The Regional Office holds oath-taking for professionals who have not attended Mass Oath-taking, every THURSDAY at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm. Oath-taking is required for initial registration.
No oath-taking fees. Please come in semi-formal attire. Health and allied professionals must come in gala attire. Confirm attendance with Regulations Division (Window 11) or call (074) 304-3028

PRC releases guide on new oath-taking rites
by Jaymee T. Gamil, Philippine Daily Inquirer 3:30 pm | Wednesday, August 31st, 2011
MANILA, Philippines—The Professional Regulation Commission has come out with guidelines on its newly austere oath-taking rites for nurses.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the PRC said group oath-taking ceremonies may be hosted by the respective schools of the board passers, in coordination with the respective chapters of their accredited professional organizations, for as long as they get clearance from the Board of Nursing and the PRC.
Regional PRC offices may also hold the rites, also in coordination with regional chapter of the APOs, with consultation with the BON and the PRC main office.
New nurses may also have their oath-taking individually before the BON, PRC officials and “any other official authorized to administer oath pursuant to section 16 of the Philippine Nursing Law.”
These guidelines for the oath-taking rites of the July 2011 Nursing Licensure Exam passers may become a precedent for those of other professions. The PRC released the guidelines “pending issuance of a more definitive and detailed guideline that will apply not only to nurses but to all board passers in other professions covered by the licensure examinations administered by the appropriate Professional Regulatory Boards and the PRC.”
Oath-taking rites for nurses used to be held en masse. The mass oath-taking for the July 2011 nursing board passers, supposedly to be held next month, has been cancelled.

Editoryal - Magarbong oath-taking
(Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated August 30, 2011 12:00 AM
MABUTI naman at naisip ng Philippine Regulation Commission (PRC) na alisin na ang magarbong mass oath-taking ng mga nakapasa sa nursing board examination ngayong taon na ito. Ayon sa Department of Labor and Employment, wala nang mass oath taking para sa mga bagong nurses. Ito ay bilang pagsunod sa kampanya ng gobyerno na magtipid. Ayon kay Labor secretary Rosalinda Baldoz, nag-isyu na ng withdrawal ang Board of Nursing (BON) para sa mga hinihinging congratulatory and inspirational messages mula sa top government officials na ilalathala sa souvenir program. Ayon pa kay Baldoz, malaking pera ang matitipid ng gobyerno sa hindi pagdaraos ng mass oath-taking.
Nararapat lang na huwag nang magkaroon ng magarbong mass oath-taking. Gawin na lamang ito nang simple para makatipid hindi lamang ang gobyerno kundi pati na rin ang mga magulang. Dahil naging tradisyon na ang mass oath-taking, puwersadong dumalo ang mga nakapasa kaya panibagong gastos na naman ang haharapin nila. Siyempre maraming babayaran gaya ng souvenir program, venue ng oath-taking at kung anu-ano pa. At hindi naman lahat ng mga magulang ng nakapasang nurses ay maykaya sa buhay.
Karamihan sa mga magulang ay iginapang lamang ang kanilang anak para makatapos ang kanilang anak. Marami sa kanila ang “kumapit sa patalim” para lamang maigapang ang kanilang anak. Nangutang at nagbenta ng ari-arian para makatapos ang anak sa kabila na walang katiyakan kung makakakuha agad ng trabaho ang anak. Mahirap makapasok sa ospital ang mga bagong nurses. Meron pa nga na kasama sa mga nag-top sa exam at nagtapos sa mga kilalang nursing school pero mahirap pa ring makapasok sa trabaho.
Dapat lang at sana ay noon pa nasimulan na itigil ang mass oath-taking ng nurses. Gastos lamang ito gayung maaari namang hindi gawin ng grupo lang o kaya ay indibidwal. Sinimulan na rin lang ng PRC, sana ay ipatupad na rin ng iba pang ahensiya. Pagtitipid ang kailangan sa panahong ito. Kalimutan ang pagbubulagsak na maaaring ikabagsak.
