banchan, LPN 33 Posts Jan 10, 2011 Hi! As fas as I know, for the 2 batches, only ONE Filipino has passed the Japanese Nurses Licensure Exams. Check this site for more info:http://nursingcrib.com/rn-success-stories/the-only-filipino-nurse-to-pass-japans-nursing-exam/I don't know what happened to those who failed the test but based on the infos I have read, you can take their exam up to 3 times for RNs. I also want to try this but I lack the experience. Also, being in Japan is a nice experience for me. I love the country's culture and people. :)
corpuscles 108 Posts Jan 11, 2011 okay, but as far as i know Japan's going to translate the test now in english so that means the nursing licensure will be in the english language and not in nihonggo. that's going to be very good news. :)

Not entirely in English. Only those words that poses technical difficulties for foregin examinees are to be translated. Please read the article in this link: http://www.gmanews.tv/story/201301/japan-nursing-exam-wont-be-in-english-poeaHopefully this will increase the passing rate of foreign nurses.
