I just want to ask if it is possible to have a signed noa by the prc officer without submitting the orig tor marked -for board exam purposes only? coz i had submitted by documents already n they checked it and signed my noa, when i got home and check my things, i notice that i still have 2 copies of orig tor..student and board exam copy.. im not sure if the school accidentally gave me 2 copies of tor for board exam…one is left with me and the other is already there at the prc? or is it after having the noa, i still have to go thru another window to submit my tor for board exam copy? the tor is the only document left with me, the rle and cases are already with them. tnx…

@U.S. Citizen – does NCSBN require that you should be an RN in the Philippines (passed the PRC’s NLE) to be able to take the NCLEX-RN? The last time I checked, (please correct me if I am gravely wrong about this) no, they do not require that you passed the NLE. A BSN degree would suffice.

I am a U.S. citizen who just graduated with a BSN degree here in the Philippines. I need to take the local Philippine board exam in order for me to return to the U.S. and take the NCLEX. BUT, I asked the PRC if I’m allowed to take the local board of the Philippines and they told me, “No, you must be a Filipino citizen.” Is this true? Did I take four years of nursing in the Philippines only to find out that I’m not eligible to take the nursing board exam?
