hi RN Rona… I took exam sa Iloilo City, Dec. 2010…and thank God I passed …but now Im working in one of the private company here in Laguna… pwede ba na I will register sa PRC dito sa Manila? and take Oath also here? thank you…
@HONEY rn – you can take an oath anywhere you want to but you are supposed to register where you filed to take the board exam.
ms., sa iloilo po ako nag file for board exam and i already passed. is there no chance na dito ako sa manila mag register for my license?
@steph – ms., usually, you are supposed to register where you filed to take the board exam because your documents are in the PRC office.
I took the exam at Iloilo and I’m also applying for my license at Iloilo this week but I will be taking my oath in Manila next week.. what is the process for my oathform? can i submit it to PRC Iloilo without a signature from the person administering the oath to us?? thank you so much.
@nurse101 – yes you may. The oath form won’t be signed during the oath-taking ceremony at the SMX.
Mam Rona RN: one of the requirement for the initial registration is the 2 sets of metered documentary stamps.. sa prc lang po ba un mabibili?
@jordan – meron sa OSHC.
and I also want to ask narin po regarding the dress code for male on the oathtaking ceremony.. Dito sa site niyo, you said that it’s white duty uniform, and sa PNA site naman gala uniform? which is which? Thanks! GBU
@jordan – ano yung suot mo nung capping and pinning? gala uniform? where in the PNA site did it say na naka-gala ang male’s? please do send the link.
thanks po mam =)
mam if ever ndi po ko mkapunta sa scheduled initial registration pwd sa main ko pa-register?
@Carla,RN – read Step 7: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/2011/02/22/woohoo-rn-na-ako-ano-na/
Hello MS ROna i would like just to ask you about masteral what is the difference between MSN and MAN and if i choose one of them which i would benefit for atmost i am just recently pass the december 2010 board and also if you dont mind where could i get a training about IVT thanks
@ELSON DUCO RN – I honestly have no idea what’s the difference between MSN and MAN let alone which one will benefit you most (for whatever purpose that I assume you wish you would). For IVT training, check in the right side of the page the monthly compilation of training and seminars.
Good day Ma’am! Ask ko lang po paano makakakuha ng Certificate para makaregister po for License this coming march 7-10, 2011 sa PRC. Thanks po!
@RianaRN – what certificate are you referring to? you do not need to GET any certificate to be able to register for a license at the PRC. You are actually RECEIVING one after registration.
Mam panu po pg wala sa Pilipinas tpos pumasa sa Board Exam?Panu po mag-ooath?kse nabasa ko po na pwde nman pong malate ang registration bsta sa PRC na po didiretso.,
@Alain, RN – you can take the professional’s oath before the Philippine Consul.
mam, is the payment P600+P450 different from the payment for the oath taking ticket (P350 + P200)?
sa PNA po ba ung babayaran lahat sabay sabay?
@confused RN – read this for your guidance: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/2011/02/22/woohoo-rn-na-ako-ano-na/
good morning mam..=D
I just want to ask if, possible po ba na bumili na ng metered stamp beforehand sa PRC para po maging mabilis ang registration procedure or we have to by it on the same day upon registration at exclusive lng po na sa venue dapat bumili?
thank you po. =)
@blissfuljonz RN – yes you can buy metered documentary stamps at the PRC.
no need to present anything po ba nun? or do we have to bring anything para makabili po ng metered stamp? thank you po. =)
@blissfuljonz RN – that I don’t know. Just bring all your documents (if there’s any) if you still plan on buying at the PRC.
ok po mam. thank you so much for the response. =) God bless ^^

Meron metered documentary stamps doon sa OSHC para sa registration.

hello po ms rona
when i took the exam last dec the name that i used was my single name and now that i passed i wanted to change it and use my married name to appear on my license. would that b possible?
@pam – I am not sure if that is possible. you will have to inquire about this during your initial registration. bring all the necessary documents such as your marriage certificate and also your birth certificate too.
Hi po ms.roNa dito na po kc ako located ngaun sa makati maam kc po I Am now working po in a private company here.eh sa Davao city po ako nagapply fo board exam.hindi po bang pwede dto sa prc manila ako magfile mam?

@azzirk RN – registration (for license). read this for your guidance: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/2011/02/22/woohoo-rn-na-ako-ano-na/
Mam rona kelangan po ba un certificate of registration o kahit oath form lang? un para sa initial registration po ..
@Judith_awesome – read this for your guidance. The Certificate of Registration is different from the oath form: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/2011/02/22/woohoo-rn-na-ako-ano-na/
mam rona.. kelngan po b n ipanotario tlga ang oathform?:))
@jet – yes of course. walang bisa ang sinumpaan mo kung hindi naman pinirmahan ng isang Notary Public.
Ma’am pwede din po ba mgparegister sa prc ever gotesco sa recto if late registrant?
@jaja – as of this writing, I am not certain if PRC Ever Gotesco can process registration.

Mam rona last question hehe..
7. Initial Registration Fee of PhP 600 (six hundred pesos).
8. Triennial Registration Fee of PhP 450 (four hundred fifty pesos) for 2011 – 2014.
so 1050php ang babayaran namen sa date ng registration?
@judith_awesome – yehey, congratulations. magaling ka mag-addition.
hehe. joke lang.
meron po akong maliit at (makulit) na problema. I have long hair (shoulder length) and ayoko sana magpagupit para sa oath taking. plano ko sya ipa braid as in walang lalawit na hair. do you think its acceptable? thanks! ^^
@Mark – kulit nga ng problema mo haha. I am not in the position to say if it’s acceptable or not cause I am not affiliated in any way with BON or PRC but the requirement did say “hair not touching the collar” and technically, your hair will not touch your collar kung naka-braid. In short, it really is up to what will happen on the day of the mass oath-taking ceremony. Best of luck to you!
thanks mam rona sa reply mo about my “makulit” na problem. nakapag decide nko na hindi magpapa gupit para sa oath taking bahala na si batman. basta ipapa braid ko na lng to ng bongang bonga as in kapit sa ulo walang lalawit. pag di ako pinapasok sa SMX magwawala ako dun! hahahaha.. ^^ (dun sa mga me tanong try nyo munang magbasa nung mga post kasi malamang yung tanong nyo eh nasagot na)
@Mark –
Haha. Oo nga.
You are welcome. Mas madami pang mas makulit na tanong sa tanong mo. Hehe. Good luck sa oath-taking ceremony. Papasukin ka niyan. Hindi pwedeng hindi!
mam Rona pasensya na at natagalan ang pag reply ko. ok naman po nung OATH TAKING hinarang lang ako nung babae sa me entrance sabi sakin “sir bawal po yang hairstyle nyo” akala ko hindi nko papapasukin tapos sabi nya “pasulat nlng po ng pangalan nyo sa me reception area” awwww.. hindi pa man nagsisimula ang career ko me violation agad. ahhaha… anyways Godbless mam!!! continue helping others.. ^^
@Mark – wala ‘yan. It’s not a grave violation that you should be worried about. Thanks and best of luck to you.
Mam’ Rona kakapasa ko lang po kasi magkano kaya mababayran ko sa PNA during initial regstration… sabi daw meron daw PIN ng PNA… magkano kaya lahat mababyaran ko sa PNA???
@Jen_RN – walang babayaran sa PNA during initial registration. Read this: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/2011/02/22/woohoo-rn-na-ako-ano-na/
hi,,gusto ko lang po i-clarify kung yung pag umatend nang mass Oath ceremony, automatic na PNA member kana? panu po yung mga hindi aatend,,my link poh kau for membership process sa PNA?
@AC RN – no. read this: http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/2011/03/03/steps-on-how-to-get-tickets-for-the-march-14-and-15-2011-oath-taking-ceremony-smx-and-reminders-for-oath-takers/
hi po..pwede po bang after oathtaking na mag process sa PRC?
@kris – pwede.
Good day po! san po ba makukuha ung Registration Certificate? thanks po.
@RianaRN – at the PRC.
mam rona tanong ko lang kasi dba PRC to? panu ung sa occupational safety and health center? same pa din ba ng windows yan? may metered stamp ba na available dun? thanks.
@RN kamote – OSHC is the venue for initial registration. malamang wala ng windows na susundin. nandun na lahat ng kailangan sa registration.
meron po bang oath form sa OSHC?
@cindz – yes.
hello mam rona ask ko lng po mahihingi b ung certificate of registration s public assistance office dun s main ng prc?o sa ocsh? and mam nu po itsura nun?
thank u po..
@pauRN – to see what it looks like, look for the link the right side of the site that reads “PRC Certificate of Registration (Registered Nurse)”.
meron po bang mabibiling metered stamp dun sa venue? or sa prc pa bibili?
@joyce – there was no instruction from PRC that you should buy metered documentary stamps in their main office first before going to the OSHC venue.
hahaha tnx mam rona! ..
hi ma’am..
ask lang po para san ung 1000 na babayaran sa PNA? aside pa po dun sa 1050 na babayaran sa PRC.

tnx!

Miss Rona, I’d just like to ask, after downloading the Oath Form, do we have to go to PRC para iprocess yun BAGO pumunta ng OSCH para magparegister? Thank you.
@Jona RN – no.
Hi Mam Rona, I recently passed the board exam and I’ve been reading your posts and instructions. I made a mistake though, when I went to PNA to get my oath taking ticket, I didn’t know the supposed schedule of our school so when the facilitator there asked me the date, I told him March 14, pm. Then just yesterday I found out from a friend that I should have looked at the schedule of our school. WILL THAT BE ALRIGHT, OR IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE TICKETS TO THE RIGHT DATE?
@Faye – it’s all good. as for changing the tickets, you may call PNA if they would allow an exchange if you still want to join your school’s schedule.
Thanks a lot maam. Just to clarify: So it’s okay whether or not i change the ticket dates?
@Faye – yes. just follow the schedule on your ticket.
Mam Rona, ask ko lang po kase hindi pa na pro-process ung Oath form ko. s march 7 po kase ako nka schedule magpa register.. kelangan po ba ipa process ko muna un(oath form) s prc bago ko pumunta s OSCH?
@ArLene RN – no.
saan po makukuha o malalaman yung schedule for registration for december 2010 davao passers?
@xlu – http://www.philippinenursingdirectory.com/2011/02/26/prc-initial-registration-schedule-of-december-2010-nursing-board-exam-successful-examinees-iloilo-tacloban-tuguegarao-baguio-pagadian-cdo-legazpi-davao-cebu-lucena/
..good morning po, tanong ko lang po kung kelangan pa ba ipanotarize ung oathform? at kung kelangan na bumili ng metered stamp sa PRC before pumunta sa Occupational Safety & Health Center?
@mariel – sa OSHC na lahat ‘yan gagawin.
Hi po mam rona.. naguguluhan po ako eh, nkalagay po kasi sa procedure step 3 pupunta pa po sa PRC ever-recto.. Eh sa QC na po ung registration namin malayo na po sa recto un.. Pupunta parin po ba ako sa recto? tnx po
@chel – no. naturally, you will have to ignore that since the venue is now at OSHC.
gudafternoon, i just wanna ask if di makapunta sa prc dun sa schedule na given eh wen po pwedi ulit pumunta para sa registration ng oath taking?
@zyra yatco – that schedule given by PRC is just for crowd control. you can register anytime after THAT schedule.
