Thanks again..

There are cheap hotels around the testing site, but im referring to the quality, not the fare But there are a lot of pensionne houses in Vito Cruz extension and Kamagong, which are the nearest residential/commercial area from Trident Towers. I think price starts at PhP 1,500.

Goodluck!

Why do you like to give the impression the Pinoy nurses are not competent to complete this. So many have already passed the NCLEX, why can't they ask a friend who completed this process without incident ? Isn't that common sense?:

Getting help with ATT and scheduling the exam has nothing to do with competancy.. if you'd actually read my statement you would understand that.

FACT is that very few Pinoy nurses have credit cards or can afford the international phone calls to do the scheduling.

Pinoy nurses frequently need assistance to get this done quickly because the mail route is very problematic and takes far too long to get a response. We have seen instances where nurses have sent the information via mail and never hear a response and have to spend a lot of money in international phone calls to get the confirmation as to whether or not they are actually able to take the exam.

Pinoy nurses are not stupid and nobody (well at least not me) is insinuating that they are... this is recognition of the fact that there are challenges that Pinoy nurses face which Pearson Vue and NCSBN as well as others are completely blind and ambivelant to.

I am Filipino and I understand what you mean. I didn't read the whole forum. Anyway, I employed the help of NEAC Exam Application Center (located in Espana near UST) to help me process my CVS, NY Eligibility and NCLEX.

Pearsonvue are I believe the only company authorised to issue NCLEX to candidates that have been given eligibility from the state nursing boards

Re: Taking the NCLEX in MANILA (Help please)

Anyone taking the NCLEX anytime in October or November? I haven't received my eligibility yet, but I'm expecting it soon. How's the schedule? There's a rumor that the testing center is backed up for months. Is that true?

Re: Taking the NCLEX in MANILA (Help please)

yup you need to call them,,,

I'm curious about this "International Testing Registration Center" you are talking about.

Can you send me details in private?

Suggest you have a read in the International forum and decide on what state you want to work in, read up about that state, also read up on retrogression as currently looking at a wait of over 9 years for a visa. You do not need a agency to do it just a lot of patience, a lot of reading and searching and gaining work experiences. Maybe even consider another country
