What is NCLEX-RN Exam?
Posted by Philippine Nurses - Nursing Board Exam Result June 2007 on Tuesday, July 17th, 2007 @ 9:36 am in Miscellaneous.
Entry into the practice of nursing in the United States and its territories is regulated by the licensing authorities within each jurisdiction. To ensure public protection, each jurisdiction requires a candidate for licensure to pass an examination that measures the competencies needed to perform safely and effectively as a newly licensed, entry-level registered nurse. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) develops two licensure examinations, the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses and the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses that are used by state and territorial boards of nursing to assist in making licensure decisions.
PURPOSE OF NCLEX-RN EXAM
The primary responsibility of the NCLEX Examinations Department of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is the development, delivery and support of the NCLEX-RN® and NCLEX-PN® examinations. NCLEX® candidates, nurse educators, health care professionals and the public will find useful information provided in the links to the left.

Pearson Vue’s Manila testing center contact info
Posted by Philippine Nurses - Nursing Board Exam Result June 2007 on Tuesday, July 17th, 2007 @ 9:36 am in Miscellaneous.
An NCLEX-RN test center is finally here in Manila. Although the center officially opens on August 23, when the first NCLEX exam in the Philippines will be conducted, applicants may now schedule their test date.
Two days ago, all the exam slots in the Hong Kong test center from July to October were all booked, but today, numerous slots have opened from late July onwards. It was about time that a Manila test center opened, for such a long time Filipinos have had tremendous difficulty scheduling test dates there, so many had to resort to extreme measures such as taking the NCLEX in Saipan, Taiwan, South Korea, and even Japan. More importantly, the opening of the Manila test center is a great financial relief to many Filipino nurses who don't have the resources to pay for plane fare, food, and hotel accommodations outside the country.
The Manila test center won't be conducting exams until August 23, but if you want to know where it's located so you can scout transportation routes and nearby hotels, you can check out the map I've made.
Pearson Vue today will begin scheduling services for the NCLEX-RN exam in its Manila testing center. Here's the contact information for the Manila center:

An estimated 13,000 nurse examinees from the scandal-tainted June 2006 nursing board exam are set to retake Tests 3 and 5 today, joining around 70,000 other nursing graduates who will take Philippine licensure exam for the first time.
Lawyers hired by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) today will observe the tests that will be conducted in selected testing centers across the country.
Dr. Leonor Rosero, head of the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC), said in a TV interview this morning that the first day of the exam yesterday went smoothly.

David Beckham’s got an official blog. But I don’t think anyone would be happy to know that. 
So far,
1. I’ve done a part of 36 Moons’ character profile page
2. E-mailed/Replied to people
3. Finished watching Death Note anime
4. Finished reading Ai-Ren (I’m now feeling depressed after reading this.)
5. Got my grade/completion form yesterday
I need to take a bath now because I have to go to school. The dean/chairperson might have to sign the completion form first before my grade will be recorded.
Thesis groupmates and I will also have to talk to our professor if we could start on the final paper.
