CHAPTER I ndash INTRODUCTION

Briefy History of OUR LADY OF LOURDES COLLEGE FOUNDATION

Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation traces its humble beginning to the pre-war years when a young man then a medical student of the University of the Philippines had near-death experience while schooling He pledged to Our Lady of Lourdes that one day he would put up a hospital in his honor

That vision remained a dream until 1960 when the young man now a practicing surgeon put up a small medical clinic a Daet Camarines Norte The clinic attended to varies cases Barely two years after its establishment Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital expanded to 25-bed capacity In 1965 it further expanded its bed capacity to 40 and in 1977 in to a 100-bed capacity

Dr Abundio Palencia the visionary the dreamer and Founder highly sensitive to the concerns of his people saw the need of opening a school of midwifery which he envisioned would help produce the manpower resources urgently needed by various health agencies

Nineteen seventy seven (1977) saw the birth of the Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation School of Midwifery with an initial enrollment of eighty (80) and a faculty force of ten (10)

Through the dedicated service and unwavering loyalty to the institution of the faculty members of the school midwifery and with full administration support of the school authorities the school of

midwifery made a name for the school by producing board topnotchers through the years 69 School Passing Average (SPA) in 1988 797 SPA in 1990 87 SPA (62 National Passing Average (NPA)) in 1992 98 SPA (64 NPA) in 1993

Encouraged by these heroic accomplishments and challenged by the constant clamor of the various communities the school served for the school to expand its curricular offerings Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation embarked on the offering of other para-medical courses in 1989 namely Bachelor of Science in Nursing Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Certificate in Health-Aide

The year nineteen eighty nine was a milestone in the life of OLLCF The three-storey concrete school building was put up on a four- hectare lot a Vinzons Avenue 600 meters away from Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital the original school site

By 1991 the whole school transferred to the new site Now with more than enough classrooms and campus space administration was further challenged to open more courses to give the youth of Region 5 more opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills and empower themselves with degrees which for many years were only available to those who could afford to go the cites

June 2005 placed OLLCF again in the Professional Regulations Commission Board Topnatchersrsquo List with two students placing tenth and one 5th placer in the Nursing Licensure Examination This affirmed the institutionrsquos reputation of being a producer of board passer and board topnotchers

In line with its physical plant development program the institution continued to expand its land area which has reached 12



hectares in 2006 This provided for ample space where the Basic Education building was constructed and where the academic square is being developed

Nineteen ninety two marked the opening of more courses namely BS Medical Technology BS Physical Therapy (5 years) BS Radiologic Technology Associate in Radiologic Technology BS Computer Science BS Commerce BS Secretarial Administration Associate in Department was born with General Science and Computer Oriented Classes (I-IV)

In June 1993 the first batch of Nursing Graduates passed the National Board Exam with a school passing average of 73 (the national passing average is 63) and in December 1993 the second batch of the national passing average was 64

Today Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation has embarked on a strong faculty development program and massive development of its other areas of operation namely instruction library laboratory physical plant student services and community outreach programs to continue to give its best to the development of the youth of Region 5 and nearby provinces

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING

On-the-job training (OJT) is one of the best training methods for students because it is planned organized and conducted at the employees worksite OJT will generally be the primary method used for broadening the studentrsquos skills and increasing productivity It is particularly appropriate for developing proficiency skills unique to an employees job - especially jobs that are relatively easy to learn and require locally-owned equipment and facilities

It is the responsibility of the Dean or Faculty assigned to search for industry whose main job is related to the different courses under the College of Computer Studies A trainee can also search an industry for their On-the-Job Training provided that it is also related to their field The major job requirements should include

The subject to be covered Number of hours Estimated completion date Method by which the training will be evaluated and Memorandum of Agreement

Every trainee should accomplish a total of at least 200 hours for the given duration It is expected that a trainee should finish the training before the graduation Failure to do so means heshe will not be included in the list of the graduating students

CHAPTER I ndash INTRODUCTION

Briefy History of OUR LADY OF LOURDES COLLEGE FOUNDATION

Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation traces its humble beginning to the pre-war years when a young man then a medical student of the University of the Philippines had near-death experience while schooling He pledged to Our Lady of Lourdes that one day he would put up a hospital in his honor

That vision remained a dream until 1960 when the young man now a practicing surgeon put up a small medical clinic a Daet Camarines Norte The clinic attended to varies cases Barely two years after its establishment Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital expanded to 25-bed capacity In 1965 it further expanded its bed capacity to 40 and in 1977 in to a 100-bed capacity

Dr Abundio Palencia the visionary the dreamer and Founder highly sensitive to the concerns of his people saw the need of opening a school of midwifery which he envisioned would help produce the manpower resources urgently needed by various health agencies

Nineteen seventy seven (1977) saw the birth of the Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation School of Midwifery with an initial enrollment of eighty (80) and a faculty force of ten (10)

Through the dedicated service and unwavering loyalty to the institution of the faculty members of the school midwifery and with full administration support of the school authorities the school of

midwifery made a name for the school by producing board topnotchers through the years 69 School Passing Average (SPA) in 1988 797 SPA in 1990 87 SPA (62 National Passing Average (NPA)) in 1992 98 SPA (64 NPA) in 1993

Encouraged by these heroic accomplishments and challenged by the constant clamor of the various communities the school served for the school to expand its curricular offerings Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation embarked on the offering of other para-medical courses in 1989 namely Bachelor of Science in Nursing Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Certificate in Health-Aide

The year nineteen eighty nine was a milestone in the life of OLLCF The three-storey concrete school building was put up on a four- hectare lot a Vinzons Avenue 600 meters away from Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital the original school site

By 1991 the whole school transferred to the new site Now with more than enough classrooms and campus space administration was further challenged to open more courses to give the youth of Region 5 more opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills and empower themselves with degrees which for many years were only available to those who could afford to go the cites

June 2005 placed OLLCF again in the Professional Regulations Commission Board Topnatchersrsquo List with two students placing tenth and one 5th placer in the Nursing Licensure Examination This affirmed the institutionrsquos reputation of being a producer of board passer and board topnotchers

In line with its physical plant development program the institution continued to expand its land area which has reached 12
