NURSING BOARD EXAM

How do you apply for a Nursing Licensure examination?

First, apply on line...

It is really nice that now a days you may file your application on line. Just go to the PRC official website, click HERE, but first you need to get your cedula because it is required in the form. You may buy your cedula at Manila city hall (for those who live in Manila areas). It costs 5.40 - 6 Pesos in Manila... actually if you're from Manila you may also buy it from Makati city hall. (at a much higher price).

If you have not filed online, you may go directly to the PRC and bring all the requirements. But they will ask you to go up the 5th floor to file online. 

For married women filling up the form online... for the LAST NAME, write the surname of your husband, the one you are using now. On the NAME, common sense, of course your name.  On the MIDDLE NAME, your surname when you were not yet married/ or the surname of your father. Then for the MAIDEN NAME, write in there your mother's surname when she was single.

EX. Marissa Cruz Martinez-David (David is the married name) So you are Marissa M. David, now.

Last name:       David

       Name:             Marissa

       Middle name:   Martinez

      Maiden name:  Cruz      ( this is the confusing part, because when you say Maiden name... that would be your surname when you were still single right???) But well... it appeared correct on the Notice of Admission when I went to PRC to pass the requirements). They just did not explain to me that that is just the way they fill it up.

After submitting the form, you will receive an approval, and then you may go to PRC to submit the necessary documents.

 *note: the name appeared here is just a sample.
