MANILA, Philippines—In a move to decongest the testing centers in Baguio, the Professional Regulation Commission-Board of Nursing (PRC-BoN) is planning to set up additional testing centers in La Union for the scheduled November 29-30 nursing licensure examination, PRC-BoN member Marco Sto. Tomas said.
“To decongest Baguio and for the safety of the growing number of NLE examinees, arrangements have been made to add La Union as the newest addition of NLE Test Centers for examinees coming from La Union, Pangasinan, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur,” Sto. Tomas said.
This, as the number of examinees who will take the “complete” examinations has increased to an all-time high of 95,282.
The biggest number of examinees will come from Metro Manila (40,621 first-timers, 33 conditioned); Baguio (14,102 first-timers, 7 conditioned); Cebu (8,899 first-timers, 5 conditioned); Cagayan De Oro (3,045 first-timers, 2 conditioned); Davao (8,143 first-timers, 2 conditioned); Iloilo (6,020); Legaspi (3,070 first-timers, 1 conditioned); Lucena (3,444); Tacloban (1,145); Tuguegarao (2,322 first-timers, 1 conditioned); Zamboanga (1,609); Jolo (166); Pagadian (1,568); Angeles (179); and Butuan (898).
