Can we do this even before the oathtaking?
Hi Ervin. What usually happens is that the PRC will post the initial registration date before oathtaking.
magkaiba po ba yung anual registration fee na 450 dun sa 400 na PNA membership?
Yes, magkaiba sila:
1. PRC (Professional Regulation Commission) license card (450).
2. PNA (Philippine Nurses Association) membership card (400).
kaming taga ilocos po pupunta pa po ba kami sa PRC para mag reg.?
Hindi mo kailangan pumunta sa PRC Manila. I will post the PRC initial registration schedule for those who are in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Region I and Region III.

@Aprilyn – call this number of PRC regarding incorrect surnames: 7362248.
Schedule of initial registration in PRC Manila has yet to be released. Expect it to be announced before the oathtaking.
thank you so much for the info. .
kpag hindi po ba nag-oath taking hindi po makukuha license?
@arxc – Not necessarily. You can still get your PRC license even if you won’t be able to attend the oathtaking ceremony on Sept. 20 or 21.
pro can we buy tickets na for the oath taking kht hnd pa registered?
@ren – Yah pwede na bumili ng tickets para sa oathtaking kahit hindi pa registered sa PRC. PNA has a list of the successful examinees of the July 2010 nursing board exam. They will refer to that list during ticket selling.
thanks po
Ma’am Rona RN,
Is it possible not to attend the scheduled date of the oathtaking on the 20th and 21st. I heard it is possible to do it elsewhere and on a different time. What information do you have about this? I am trying to get personal documents prepared as soon as possible.
And I am sure PRC accepts documents required in international processing. I have to let them sign something in order to complete the application package I have in another country. Where should I go?
magkano nman po yung tiket s pna?
magkano po yung lahat lahat na babayaran s pna pag kumuha ng tiket?
@Ervin – yes you may not attend the oathtaking on the 20th or the 21st of Sept. You can do it at the PRC.
Walang ticket na babayaran for PNA. Bibili ka lang ng ticket PARA SA OATHTAKING sa PNA office.
Ang babayaran sa PNA ay ang membership mo sa kanila. Iyun ay kung gusto mo maging miyembro ng PNA.
@cheska – Ticket price for oathtaking is 350 for inductee and 200 per guest (only 2 guests are allowed). Kung gusto mo maging member ng PNA, bayad ka din ng 400 membership fee nila. Kung hindi, pwede din na hindi ka magpamiyembro.
pano po pag hndi nakapag register?
abangan ko nalang pala sched for registration kung ganon….
@shai – yup, just wait for it. I’ll post it here at PND as soon as it comes out. Check back often cause usually, PRC releases the schedule for initial registration before the oathtaking ceremony.
Thank you! Would you know if that is before the 20th and 21st?
pra san poh b ung bbyran n 350 pra sa inductee at 200 per guest??? parang rental poh b un sa place kung saan iheheld ang oath taking?
@Marian – parang ganun na nga. Kasi sa SMX Mall of Asia gagawin so may bayad ang paggamit ng place na yun.
dito rin po sa site na’to ippost yung registration date?
@jen – Yes i will post it here at PND when the registration dates becomes available. Keep checking na lang.
hi poh..ask ko lng sana wen pu mpo2st ung date of registration ng region 3..particularly students from bulacan..tnx…
if pwdng ndi n manumpa ksbay nung iba sa smx san pwdng manumpa? s prc nb mismo? anong attire isusuot sa panunumpa? nkagala dress pdin po b?
@khaye – kapag hindi nakapagregister, wait ka na lang hanggang matapos ang registration schedule na binigay ng PRC. Actually, pwede ka naman magregister kahit kailan mo gusto. Nagbibigay lang ng schedule of registration nag PRC para hindi sabay-sabay pumunta ang mga bagong nurses. Dami kasi natin eh. Hehe. Take note that the PRC doesn’t allow you to register if it is not your day to register yet, though.
oh… thanks so much po! last question na lng po, sabi po kasi s prc kanina.. tomorow dw po nila ipost yung schedule for registration… s tingin n’yo po, kelan po kaya mgstart yung schedule if gnun? letter A po kasi yung surname ko hehehe
@cheska – based on past registration schedule, sa mid-October pa ang letter A. I should know kasi letter A din ang first letter ng surname ko, hehe.
Matatapos ang registration mid-November. Halos 1-month.
@Marian – you’re welcome. And congratulations!
@Marian – yes sa PRC na mismo. Doon naman dapat talaga kasi sa PRC ka naman manunumpa. Kung sa PRC, di na kailangang na naka-gala or cap. Any formal attire will do.
..maraming slmat po..
..this site helps a lot.. tnx..

oh… haha, tgal po pla.. thanks po! yung sa ticket po ba sa PNA, pwede ka po mamili ng schedule mo or per school po yung sked? balak ko na po kasi bumili ng ticket tom, kaya lang ayaw ko naman po ng Sept. 20 n 8am ang oathtaking ko hehe
@cheska –
Yes pwede ka mamili ng schedule mo.Mas maganda kung makabili ka ng maaga para makapili ka. “First-come, first-served” basis kasi ang bentahan ng ticket sa oathtaking.Hindi ka pala pwede mamili ng schedule sa oathtaking. Your oathtaking schedule will depend from what school in the NCR you are from.
oh.. i c.. thank you po!
hello po.. ask ko lang po.. what if sa baguio ako nagtake.. pde ba ako mag oath taking here in manilA???
@criszy – I’ll verify this with PRC. Check back tomorrow morning. I will have an answer for this by then.
Update: 1 Sept. 2010: Kung sa Baguio ka nag-take ng board exam, walang kaso yun kung gusto mo mag attend ng mass oaththaking ceremonsy sa SMX. Pwede din naman na hindi ka umattend.
If first come first serve yung sa oathtaking, would it be possible na maubusan kami tickets?? So this means I should buy earlier?? May deadline po ba yung buying of tickets? Are they selling it now sa PNA? Thanks.
@Andie – yes it is possible that tickets may run-out. I recommend that you buy them as early as you can.
Tickets will be sold starting tomorrow, September 1 until the first day of oathtaking ceremony, September 20.PNA’s MASS OATHTAKING CEREMONY AT THE SMX Convention Center TICKET SELLING SCHEDULE WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
Ticket Date and Time: September 20, AM schedule – will be sold until September 17, 5:00 P.M.
Ticket Date and Time: September 20, PM schedule – will be sold until September 20, 12 NOON
Ticket Date and Time: September 21, AM schedule – will be sold until September 20, 5:00 P.M.
Ticket Date and Time: September 21, PM schedule – will be sold until September 21, 12 NOON
This ticket-selling schedule applies until all tickets are sold out.
hello po. pede na ba malaman yung general average namin this week? ano po kailangan dalhin?
@Jerick – not sure if you can ask the PRC for the GWA (General Weighted Average) this week. When asking for it, you do not need to bring anything. You will just have to fill-out this 1/4 piece of paper from the PRC with your name. I-pa-pass mo lang tapos susulatan na siya ng taga PRC ng mga grades mo.
last question po:
after registration, kelan po namin makukuha yung PRC certificate at PRC ID?
@Jerick – Usually makukuha ang PRC license ID card and PRC certificate 2 months after the initial registration date.
Maraming salamat po Ms. Rona. sobrang nakakatulong po ang site na ito for us, new nurses, in a MAJOR MAJOR way! Naliwanagan po ako ng mabuti sa mga process at confusing details regarding registration. Thank you so much and God bless.
@Jerick – You are welcome.
Magulo talaga ang proseso ng PRC. Walang ganitong detalye available online nung panahon ko kasi. I just want to help and make things clearer and the information more accurate for fellow nurses. Don’t hesitate to ask further questions if you have any. Congratulations! 
Hi, RN here but working currently as a call center agent here in Makati.
Graduated 2009, took the board and passed the June 2009 exam.
Before PRC released the list of passers, I’m already an agent. Due to my shifting schedule, I wasn’t able to attend the Oath Taking at SMX. I knew it already but I am too busy and had no chance to register. I went to PRC and asked for my ID and they gave it to me, after 2 weeks.
Here are my inquiries:
Is it okay not to attend the oath taking? If not, can I join the oath taking of the new passers for formality sake?
Since I have my PRC already, do I need to accomplish as well the PNA? PRC ID has a validity date, how about the PNA?
Regarding trainings and seminars, on which website do I need to look into so that while I’m working, I can attend trainings and seminars as well.
Response will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hello Roland Leonard Joseph RN, hehe. To answer your questions:
1. Yes it is okay not to attend the oathtaking ceremony. But if you want to join the oathtaking ceremony on Sept 20 or 21, you may do so.
2. You do not need to be a member of the PNA if you don’t want or need to. PNA membership can be for a year or “lifetime”.
3. Seminars and training from September to December 2010 can be found in the following links:
September: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/directory/nursing-seminars-trainings-2010/september-2010/
October: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/directory/nursing-seminars-trainings-2010/october-2010/
November: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/directory/nursing-seminars-trainings-2010/november-2010/

hi po Rona RN,
Question po sana,
I passed the nle last Nov 2009, i was able to attend the oath taking, but hndi pa po ako nkakapagparegister til now, when ok lang po ba kung magparegster na ko? Or kelngan ko pong sumbay sa sked ng mga passers po ng july 2010? Thanks a lot…
@Rona RN. Thanks colleague.
Regarding the trainings, some of them are asking for pre-requisites. Like for Life Support etc.
And they are costly..
@Roland – You’re welcome. I agree, some training are costly. You will see that there are differences in the amount even if the training are the same. This is one of the reasons why I am compiling these seminars and training — to give fellow RN’s choices.
@sai – Pwede ka na mag-register kahit kailan kasi long overdue ka na, hehe. Most preferably before the start of initial registration schedule of the July 2010 nursing board exam passers para hindi hassle. Di mo kailangan sumabay sa schedule ng initial registration nila.
@CANDICE – I will post the initial registration schedule for both PRC Manila and other regions here at PND as soon as PRC releases it sometime this September.
Hi ma’am, san po ipopost yung sched for the initial registration???

Sabay na rin ng oathtaking? may specific date po ba na dapat sundin kung when magpareg and oath for nxt yr?plano ko po kasi umuwi either february or march po. Please reply po. Thanks po
@Gheim – First off, congratulations! Yes you may register next year na lang if you want to. You can also register to the PRC even when abroad. I’ll post the details if you prefer this instead.
For those who are already abroad and want to register to the PRC, please refer to this page:
PRC Resolution No. 2006-313 Series of 2006 (Resolution amending item No. 1, Paragraph 3 of Commission Resolution No. 2004-235 Series of 2004 regarding the personal filling up of entries of data in the registry of professionals.)
Does PRC give out official envelopes just in case you need the applicant needs it for other matters?
pwede po ba magparegister earlier than scheduled? im leaving the country first week of October kasi. if pwede, ano po mga kailangan.
kung wala pa schedule, meaning bawal pa makapagparegister ang mga new RNs?
