June06 License Waiver

Published

Hello to everyone... I failed the retake of test 3 and 5:o But I passed my nclex just a week after knowing the result of the retake. I am planning to retake the whole NLE test 1-5 this december 2007. Can anyone please help with the format of the waiver for the license? Thanks!

i was one of the 06 passers and also took the special retake but didnt pass. im planning to waive my license in order for me to take the whole exam for june 08 but i was told by the PRC they no longer accept 2006 retakers. i thought i can waive my license anytime i want but PRC set a deadline last december. please enlighten me with this..... thanks

You are going to follow what they want you to do, if they had a deadline of this past December in order to waive your license and you do not do it by then; you will be up to their requirements and if they will let you do it.

Rules are always changing and you need to follow what they are stating. There is nothing else that anyone can do, it is up to the PRC for any rulings that they have put in place. You will have to find out what they want you to do so that you can retest. You will definitely have to pay the fee for the retest completely if they will let you. But they make the final decision on this.

Thanks for replying, i'll just keep you posted of the retest rule set by the PRC once i get in touch with them.

Thanks and best of luck to you. I understand that they can be quite difficult to deal with at the best of times.

PRC gave the option for the June '06 nurses to retake the exam either in June '07 or Dec '07. When you apply at PRC, you need to specify which kind of retake are you sitting in, is it just the test 3&5 or the whole exam. If it's the whole exam, you'll have to surrender your license, but if it's only test 3&5, you don't have to waive your license.

You only have one chance for the retake. If you failed it in June '07 you can't take it again in Dec '07. If you didn't waive your license, you are still a RN in the Philippines. But you can't qualify for the Visascreen since you failed the retake. In order to qualify for the Visascreen, you have to surrender your license and retake all tests 1-5.

If you waived your license, and failed the retake, it's pretty clear that you're not RN in the Philippines anymore.

I suggest, you go to PRC and try to confirm it your self to be sure.

I'm also planning to waive my june 06 license and retake the whole exam this june 2008.. I called prc (specifically BON office) the assistant/secretary told me that I cannot waive my license anymore, BON is issuing a memo to not accept retake applications of june 06 passers.. Asked her, if I appeal my case to BON are they willing to consider? She said, "as of now NO one from the june 06 license holders who failed the special retake, filed an appeal. If you want your case to be heard, I suggest you ask your batchmates who has the same dillema as yours, to also file an appeal.. If many will ask for reconsideration, BON might change their mind and accept the applications.."

Still.. it's up for the BON to decide, but it is better to do something than not doing anything at all..

I just have one question, though. When you made the inquiry have you availed of the special re-take already? It seems from your post that you already did. Please kindly clarify. This is just for clarifications for everyone else who might be reading your post and not meant to embarrass or anything.

Yes, I did... took the special exam last december 07 and failed.I was hoping that I could waive my license for I have good reasons for not taking the test 3 & 5 retake exam earlier (june 07).

The local Boards may have good reason not to if they will stand on their earlier decision and the decision is not entirely up to them either. It will be a grave mistake for them if they think that the decision is entirely up to them.

The reason for the re-takes is for the visa screen certification and nothing else since the Boards and PRC re-iterated that the June 2006 licensure exam and the resulting licensure from it is actually valid per Phil. Law. CGFNS actually has the most say on this than the local boards actually do as they are the ones who will be giving the visa screen certificates and not the local Board. If would be no good if CGFNS do not agree even if the local Boards will allow it.

Please update us on this thread if there will be new developments for these cases. Thanks.

Nurse_June, I'm also a June 2006 passer but luckily I've passed the retake in June 2007. I have asked that question with the officer in charge when I filed for the retake, I told him on what will be the consequences if I would not pass the retake for test 3 and 5, he said if that's the case, then I can surrender my license anytime after the retake, and take the whole exam again.

I wanted to talk to a BON that time, but he said there's no way I can talk to them. I understood from the CGFNS side that once you opted to retake and failed, youre no longer qualified for VSC but you're license is good here in the PHIL and other countries not requiring VSC. However, PRC personnel say otherwise that time. They said I can only retake test 3 and test 5 ONCE but can surrender my license ANYTIME to take the whole exam again.

Now, it seems that you cannot surrender you're license anymore and can never be eligible for VSC?
