November 2008 Nurse Licensure Examinations


I like to remind those nursing graduates who wish to take the November 2008 Nurse Licensure Examinations that the deadline for filing of applications for the November 2008 NLE is on October 17, 2008.

For those who think that the deadline set by the Professional Regulation Commission is way too early, let us be reminded that we won't be having a December nursing board exam this time. As previously announced by the PRC, the Nurse Licensure Examinations will be on November 29 & 30, 2008. Hence, the earlier deadline on filing of applications for the NLE.

With the application deadline for the November 2008 Nurse Licensure Examinations fast approaching, I can just imagine how jittery November 2008 NLE candidates must be right now as they work on the required documentation while attending nursing review classes. Comprehensive nursing reviews usually start on the first week September and wrap up by mid-November, depending on the review programs being offered by nursing review centers. Final coaching sessions (usually 5 days or shorter) are also sceduled immediately after comprehensive nursing review classes end.

On a side note, I made a few calls to inquire about the rates on nursing review packages currently offered by reputable nursing review centers here in Davao City. For comprehensive nursing rewiew classes that run for two months or shorter, the fees range beween Php7500- Php8000. Final coaching (5-7 days) rates fall within Php2000-Php4000.

When I was reviewing for the nursing board exams, the comprehensive nursing review classes were longer (four months or so) and the fees were more affordable. The review classes were long enough that I didn't think it was necessary to pay for final coaching sessions. Then again, that was during MY time, and that was roughly three years ago.
