PGH feedback

Rakuichi · Sep 7, 2011

@sunako : The application for the N1 position has already been closed since April 2011, since exam schedules have already been filled up all the way until Dec 2011. Inquire to DNRD/NSO early next year (Jan2012), if they'll reopen again.

Thanks drifterRN for the quick reply. I guess that I have to wait for a few months.

help! I'm about to take the NPE this coming November.

They changed the exam... it's now multiple choice... i have no idea what to expect.

Anyone ? hints? is it hard? how many items? which areas have to be studied? etc etc :confused:

The guy who handles the NPE application 'kindly' told us that 'the mortality rate in NPE is 90%'

that's just sheet :smackingf

I hope y'all would help. I and those that have yet to pass NPE would be grateful. :loveya:

I don't know if they changed the exam, i took mine last May and it was the same exam from the previous batches. Too bad I didn't know about this forum yet, though I was one of the few lucky ones who passed.

About the mortality rate, yup that's correct. i think we were close to 100 examines (or more? i don't know/cant recall) that time, a month later the exam they posted the result and only 7 or 8 managed to move on to the next round.

Just be prepared, study the basics and focus on the nursing procedures like you're reviewing for a skills inventory/nursing revalida exam. :)

Hope this helps! Good luck!

@thorabeech

they did... I was informed by the guy who handed the application for NPE and 3 pips who took their exam last month... they however were not big on details... :crying2:

From what I've gathered, there are 33 multiple choice questions... some questions are awarded 2 points... total=50

I think the change has to do with the low passing rate.

thank you though :redpinkhe

....I've just been there. Guys when you register for the Nurse 1 exam, make sure that you have a passport photo w/ white background and a photocopy of your prc ID. Oh one more tip, be there early (8am).
