NURSING students of the Centro Escolar University Makati were hailed as the grand champions in the first Makati Medical Center Battle of the Nightingales 2023.

Anna Sophia Redillas, Christine Grace Tenio and Rannie Kenneth Rebenito bested eight other teams from other universities in Metro Manila.

They demonstrated their knowledge in a two-round challenging quiz prepared by the Board of Nurses.

“Each round is divided into three sections — easy, moderate and difficult. Together with other four universities, CEU advanced in the final round,” the school said.

“The competition gets tougher as they initially tied with San Beda College, but ultimately emerged as 1st Place,” it added.

Rommel Rufuz Lopez served as the coach of the students.

The team took home a trophy, cash prize, and a scholarship worth P100,000 for each of the contestants given by the MVP Foundation.

They will represent their cluster in the National Level of the Battle of the Nightingales on October 20, 2023 at SM Mega Trade Hall, Mandaluyong City.
