..no limit.... for as long as you can carry on... after all, passing NLE is the ONLY way out before we could ever start working as a nurse...

It used to be 3 takes before but with the new nursing law, they changed it to as many take as you can...

I think the lawmakers should make it a 3-take only exam just like what they did many years ago. It will surely help the Philippines to screen its nurses.
