My wife is going to graduate (hopefully and finally) BSN this March, 2008. One of her lecturers and clinical instructors told her that Mar '08 grads will have to take the locals boards in December'08 as there are many Oct '07 grads who has yet to take the exams as well as re-takers. How true is this?

Any memo or official announcements from the Philippine Regulatory commission (PRC) will be appreciated.
