BSN grad '97 need help regarding NLE

try cers, its a small review center with very personalized review. classes are only 60-70 students.

If you want to take the NLE, you may need a refresher course as mandated by PNA.

NURSING EDUCATION

Sec. 26. Requirement for Inactive Nurses Returning to Practice. - Nurses who have not actively practiced the profession for five (5) consecutive years are required to undergo one (1) month of didactic training and three (3) months of practicum. The Board shall accredited hospitals to conduct the said training program.

I think you have to reallly read to update yourself. I reviewed with Edgeworth this past board exams but none of the questions from our practice test came out..

thanks for the info lawrence01.Yeah im aware of the 1 month refresher course that is mandatory for inactive nurses but the 3 months practicum?not really.does that mean that I still have to enroll in a nursing school just to have 1 month of didactic training and 3 months of practicum?if thats the case I guess my plans taking the dec NLE needs to be postponed for those 3 months of practicum.Does this article apply to BSN graduates who havent taken the board exam yet or to those nursing grads who are already licensed but are inactive?please enlighten me.thanks!

Please contact PNA directly regarding this. However, if someone who was already licensed and did not practice for 5 consecutive years needs the above requirements then what more for some one who has never taken and therefore did not practice for 10 years ?? The PNA will be the one who will decide. Pls. contact them.

okay.i'll do that for me to know what steps to take.thanks again!if you can also share some good books that i can read???

Hi 22im32el0324. I recommend Northcap Review Center. All their lecturers were GOOD esp. in MS and Psych.... Their main branch is in Baguio City ( if u want to have less stress while reviewing) and in Sta Mesa near SM CENTERPOINT. :) ( If u more want more stress,, because of traffic :)))

thanks yetski.I'll check out northcap review center.although i leave in antipolo and it will be too far for me in case i choose ti review there but if it will really help me in passing the board exam i'm willing to travel that far.hehe.there are a lot of review centers around and it's hard to choose!anyways,thanks again yetski.

hi.. i have just taken nle this june.. i came from pentagon.. they were found not to be part of the scam/ leakage issue, it has been televised just last week of may.. and i recommend you pentagon.. they have very good lecturers.. and they will make all the lectures easily comprehensible..

thanks ianjel!Pentagon is one of the review centers on my list.

aside from enrolling in a review center, you also need to read current books on nursing. you cannot simply rely on what review centers provide. besides, if you read on your own, you complement what you learned from your review center as well as broaden the spectrum of your knowledge. good luck.
