Please be aware that nothing is listed on the Pearson-Vue website and it will be months before a center opens, same as it has been with every other foreign center that has opened. For those of you already with the ATT, you will still need to make arrangements to test before the expiriation date of the document.

if the Philippines produce roughly around 40,000 registered nurses yearly, imagine how will the testing center here cope in the first months of its opening.

We should be happy of the things that NCSBN announcement that Manila, Philippines, as the new site for the NCLEX examination. It will be NCSBN and Pearson Vue will do the coordinating on how things will be doing in the Philippines.

Let us not think of negative things let's be positive we know that the first year will be a bulk of the examinees. If others can't wait they can still schedule their NCLEX with Asian country or USA. What is important NCSBN already considered our country. God bless Philippines.

There is increasing possibility that NCLEX testing could be implemented this year. Any formal announcements would have to be made on Pearson-VUE's website.

Quote from a local newspaper:

" Pearson-VUE, the company that actually handles the NCLEX outside America, made an extra pitch. Fraser Cargill, as Asia-Pacific director, said that if anyone has to worry about exam and physical security, it's him. Yet his firm gives out three other international tests in the Philippines, including supposedly deadly Mindanao, and has had no hitches. Cargill added that only in the Philippines is his work being made easier by a Task Force that reports directly to the President. It was thus that he gave an estimate of three months max to set up the first NCLEX test site in Manila. "
