@hurvz – oath-taking ceremony where?
di po kasi ako makakapagregister personally..pwede po ba ung ipalakad sa iba? i mean pwede po ba representative? tnx
@mariel – as far as I know, PRC doesn’t allow a representative to register for a registrant during initial registration. Unless you are in another country. You may call PRC to verify this: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/professional-regulation-commission-prc/
juz wanna know lang kung anu2x ang mga requirements pag nagapply ng NLE sa prc baguio wherein, ung previous application ko is in PRC manila..for 2nd takers po..wat to bring in PRC baguio if ever..tnx
@mel – requirements are just the same like the first-time you applied. Except you won’t be submitting anymore your RLE and OR and DR cases: Nurse Licensure Examination (NLE) Requirements (First-Timers and Re-takers)

@jr – verify with PRC on what to do with name correction: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/professional-regulation-commission-prc/
Hello Rona,
My job right now is requiring me to have the CERTIFICATE OF PASSING the board. Hindi pa po kc ako nagstart mgregister, pag pumunta po b aq ng PRC ngayon mkukuha ko po ba kaagad yun? Thanks, and have a good day.
@Mj – if you request your certificate through PRC’s express service, you may get it sooner than their regular PhP 75 request of certificate transaction. I just am not sure how long it would take. It could take a day or two. You may call PRC to verify with them about this: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/professional-regulation-commission-prc/
Edited to add (2 Oct. 2010): read the reply of kellog below.
hi ms rona. regarding sa express service ng certificate of passing request na kailangan ni MJ, dapat andun sya ng maaga. ung tipong before 8am nakapila ka na. kasi 200 requests lang for the express service ang tinatanggap ng PRC nung last time na andun ako. pag nagexceed na sila sa limit, dun ka na sa regular processing and that will take 2wks (in my case) before release.
@kellog – thank you very much for that information. I didn’t know that the express service is limited to 200 requests only per day. Let’s hope Mj reads your reply.
hi ma’am rona! im done with the initial registration yesterday in vtech. share ko lang, got there 10ish, lined up then inabutan kami ng lunch time 12-1 then resume with the same line and got done before 2…will get mine on the 21st.
@boomboomRN – yaay registered ka na, finally. Thank you for coming back here and sharing that too. Congratulations!
question , do you have an idea how much it will cost me to mail the Verification of Licensure from PRC since it’s a requirement for NCLEX-RN application…thanks!!!
@boomboomRN – mail by postal mail or courier? LBC? mahal kapag courier pero mas mabilis and mas siguradong makakarating.
hi mam Rona.. how many days is the release of PRC license, i’m registering @ PRC main
@JAPORMS – it could take 3 weeks, 1 month even.
hi mam rona. regarding the phrase:
“the representative must present his/her identification paper with picture and a Special Power of Attorney.” kapag magcclaim na ng license. may identification paper pa ba na kinukuha sa prc or anything lang na identification of the representative?? may training po kc ako sa schedule ko na magclaim eh. thnx.
@chris – any valid ID card will do.
ms. rona my ngtxt po sken n my dscrepancy s date of birth q taga prc daw po xa wat should i do?
ma’am rona, another simple question from a simple boy like me, me and my girlfriend is applying for NCLEX-RN…is it okay if we send 2 separate envelopes (sealed with our TOR) but only 1 package since there’s only 1 destination…so we could split the bill…or we really have to mail it separately? because the thing is, schools give our TOR back to us but we have to make it appear that the school sent it to the state… and how much does it cost for the mailing of a particular page which the state requires to be verified and sealed by PRC..thanks ma’am rona!
@2by2boy –
That’s how it usually is done. Our schools won’t pay for the TOR to be couriered (cheapskates they are). They’ll just seal the envelope with the TOR inside and you will have to send it through your preferred courier service. It doesn’t matter if there’s a bunch of separately-enveloped TOR’s in one package. The important thing is that the envelopes are intact (school seal is not broken).
hahahha cheapskates..thanks ma’am rona.at least nakatipid ulit kame. hehe
is it the same thing with PRC din? or PRC dapat separate na talaga?
@2by2boy – separate talaga dapat… I think, he he. Kasi ang ilalagay mo doon sa “sent from” line sa package for the TOR’s is your school’s address, right?
Kasi ang ilalagay mo doon sa “sent from” line sa package for the TOR’s is your school’s address, right?
yes ma’am rona thanks
mam..taga pangasinan po ako,hindi po ako nkaabot sa filling sa bagiuo..pwd po ba sa manila me magfill..?kailan po me p[wd magfill?nabasa ko po kc d2 sa website u na LATE REGISTRANTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO FILE ONLY IN PRC Manila office AS FOLLOWS:
November 9 D to M,,,sa araw na e2 po ba me magfifill kc “G” po naumpisa surname ko…
Pakisagot naman po mam.
Thanks po
@pazza_y – labo, pre. pakilinaw.
mam at pag sa manila ba nagfill eh don din po ba mageexam? pwd po kaya na ipa address na sa dagupan na lng me Exam kc po taga Pangasinan me at mas malapit po ako sa Dagupan w8 ko po reply ..
Thanks MaM…
@pazza_y – anong “fill”?
question ma’am…. i already sent the application form to ARKANSAS, then PRC paper and the TOR will be mailed maybe first week of June. is that okay? i mean the application form went ahead…and is it okay if i take the exams in MARYLAND even if i passed the requirments from here… because i will be going there early next year so i plan to take it there narin..will there be extra payment..thanks!!!!
@2by2boy – you may want to visit this website for your NCLEX-RN concerns: http://nurse.nonoy.net/ Somebody told me that this website is of great help to them when they were applying.
thankies!!
ma’am rona i’m sad… sabe daw arkansas board of nursing already requires SSN to get the license. im not sure if it also means i cannot take the exams anymore without having SSN. the problem is, i already sent the payment with the application form plus the NBI fingerprint card plus payment..i believe its non refundable..i dont know what to do then..haaaaaaaaay
@2by2boy – yes unfortunately, an SSN is a requirement now before you can take NCLEX. Wala na sinabi sa’yo sa board of nursing website that it is now a requirement?
hi ms. rona, may certficate ba na pedeng irequest sa prc stating my rank/place during the board exam? and can i request one even though di naman ako kasali sa national top 10 but instead sa regional top 10 lang.
@marris_of_tuguegarao – if you were in the national Top 10, yes.
tnx for the prompt response ms. rona, God bless!
how much is the fee for a replacement request of a nurse certificate of registration? and how long will it be processed? may fast option ba dun? thank you
@bin – I am not sure I have heard of replacement request of a nurse certificate of registration. by replacement request, did you mean just a request of a certificate of registration?
hi. tanong lang po. di po ako nakaattend ng oath taking and di pa nakapag file ng kahit ano dahil nasa U.S ako. nabasa ko po yung dapat gawin incase nasa abroad, yun ang dapat sundin ko, but there’s been a change of plans, babalik po ako dyan sa philippines, by any chance, pwede pa po kaya ako makapag oath taking and makuha license ko? ano po kaya mga gawin ko? thank you!
@helphelp – you will just have to go to PRC for your initial registration just like how you were supposed to on the date that was assigned for you. The PRC will also take care of your oath-taking.
hi po Ms. Rona, ask ko lng po kasi di ba may nurse registration sa OCHS this week? iba pa po ba yun sa initial registration na sa PRC iaacomplish as posted above? or same lang? pag nagawa ko na ba ung sa PRC do I still need to come at OCHS? and kung hindi aattend ng oath taking, kailangan ba nakagala uniform p dn kht s PRC lng? thanks.
@joo – same lang. naiba lang ng venue ang registration. wait for the announcement of PRC kung may attire sa oath-taking ceremony nila.
hi, what if im not able to register on the said date, anytime po ba pwede na ko mag register? im from manila. thanks
@sam – yes you can register anytime after the given schedule.
Mam rona pwede po b ako kumuha ng certificate of registration from any prc office? Kasi nung nagpunta po ako sa tuguegarao para magpa-initial register eh d naman po nile sinabi sakin n kukuha ng certificate of rgistration dun. Pwde kya sa bguio po ako mgrequest? Baguio based npo kasi ako thanks
@tonet – you will have to claim your Certificate of Registration in the PRC office where you initially registered.
Ma’am dpa po kc ako nagbayad para sa certification of registration. Sa tuguegarao p dn po b ako mgrerequest?
@tonet – you already have paid for your Certificate of Registration when you initially registered at the PRC.
So ksma npo un s 1050 n binayaran?
That’s exactly what my last reply to you meant.
Ma’am Rona yun po release ng Prc I’d how many days and magkano po? Sa main po ako mag papa renew thru my representative kasi nasa Mindanao ako that time. Thanks
@Brux – depends with PRC’s processing. Sometimes less than a week, sometimes more than a week or month.
mam, i left philippines after taking the july 2010 nle board exam. i passed the said exam but i couldn’t register personally at the prc as i’m tied up here in abu dhabi, uae. i have asked my sister as well as my friends to inquire from prc if it’s possible for me to appoint a representative to initially register on my behalf (after following the said requirements and conditions such as going to phil.embassy, power of attorney, etc). however, for 4 consecutive times and on different occasions, they were told that it wasn’t possible and prc personnel (in zamboanga where i took the exam) insisted that i should register personally. ilang beses na po ngtry yung sister ko at kahit yung mga friends ko na pinakiusapan ko eh ganun din ang sinagot sa kanila. is there any way to solve this? thanks in advance.
@ben_uae – Unfortunately, there’s nothing to solve. I haven’t read anyone saying that they were able to register at the PRC through a representative. Sa renewal ng lisensya pwede pa pero ang pagrehistro for the first time, wala pa. You will really have to register personally at the PRC since you have to physically sign the book of roster of professionals. There’s no other way to do that but to come over to the PRC yourself.
Thanks for the reply mam. I have read Resolution No. 2006-313 Series of 2006 several times which should particularly refer to my case. I just really wonder why it can’t be applied to me. It’s not so easy to travel back home to Philippines with an overseas job contract that needs to be completed first. Tapos kailangan ko pa rin po gumastos ng malaking halaga for my fare back home para lang makapagregister at makuha ang license. It sounds very impractical. Ok lang sana po kung vacation ko na kaso next year pa ako pwede umuwi at makapagbakasyon. Gusto ko sana makapagregister na at makuha na tuloy ang license ko ng maaga to seek for a greener pasture here. Kaso, learning from your reply it seems next year pa ako makakapagregister nito in time for my vacation leave. Pero di po ba maliwanag naman ang nakasaad sa PRC resolution, to quote:
“This PRC resolution is for new Filipino professionals (those who have passed or recently passed board examinations) who left for abroad immediately after taking their board exams in the Philippines or before the exam results were released and wants to register with the PRC.
Briefly, PRC Resolution No. 2006-313 Series of 2006 is to allow Filipino professionals based outside the Philippines to apply for initial registration with the PRC.
Prior to this resolution, all professionals had to personally appear at the PRC to fill-out all entries and affix their signature in the registry book during initial registration.
Filipinos who have passed or recently passed board examinations in the Philippines and have left for abroad without registering their names at the PRC Registry of Professionals can file for initial registration through their duly authorized representatives subject to the following requirements and conditions…”
Pwede ko naman po sundin ang mga requirements and conditions if only I’m given the chance. I really hope someone has done this before successfully and be able to relate his/her experience to us.
Thank you once again mam rona for giving me the chance to voice out my feelings.
@ben_uae – read the comment thread in the page of that resolution: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/professional-regulation-commission-prc/resolution-no-2006-313-series-of-2006/. Look for “april” below. I think she successfully registered through the Philippine Consul in NY.
just wanna ask lang po.last year pa kase ako nagfile nang registration sa prc and still hanggang ngayon d ko pa nakuha ung PRC ID ko.nasakin pa nman ung claim slip.makukuha ko pa kaya un ngayon or do i have to pay again para magpagawa nang another one?ty po.sana masagot ung question ko
