Not so long ago, like nearly a decade, when everything in PRC was done over the counter, by pen and paper, I was curious of my ranking during the board exam. I inquired on how to know my placement, but the staff said, only the top 10 can have their certificate of ranking. Verification of rating and license is done online. You may perhaps proceed to Central Office for further queries.

UPCN and USTCoN doesn't accept second coursers. if you really want to take nursing, a number of schools in metro manila as well as there in Baguio are open for second coursers.

I took the PGH exam in 2008 and got employed there in 2012. in those four years of waiting, I took my masters degree and even take the licensure examination for midwives just to have an edge because of competition.

Graduated in 2008, RN:2008 RM:2009 RMT:2011 MSN:2012 government employee nursing is not for the fainthearted.

you can now access anything through PRC webiste. Just visit it and follow the steps.

You should first renew your license before this year ends since the Professional Regulation Commission will implement a certain number of Continuing Professional Development Units for nurses who will renew their license by 2018. Based on my experience, as I had been an applicant bound for UK (but I opt to deferred it) my former agency didn't count volunteer experience as actual work experience. A solid 1-2 years of paid, permanent experience is required, though I am not fully aware if whether either other local Philippine agencies have the same requirement or NHS has. Choosing to work here in the Philippines as a Nurse rather than in BPO requires a brave and bold decision. You should be aware that online shaming of doctors and nurses via social media are rampant. You also need to refresh yourself with the standards of Nursing since you're not practicing it for nearly a decade. Are you ready to face those kinds of challenges? Will your family survive with a Nurse 1 salary has? Try to talk to your family, explain to them your plans, and if they are willing to take that sacrifice with you, then go. :) Whatever comes should you chose to be a nurse, you must endure. Happiness is not like an apple that we can buy anywhere, so you must be brave and tough to chase it. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Good luck!

Level I(novice) is on your first month of stay on PGH, you will be assigned to three - five patients Level II (advance beginner) second to third month of stay, five to eight patient plus one intubated Level III (competent) during the last three months, NP ratio depends on the special area of choice what are the special areas of APCN?? OR Complex, ICUs, Hemodialysis, Cardiac Cath Lab, and the Department of Emergency Medical Services

hi. im from the apcn batch 28 of up-pgh, from february 22 - august 9, 2010. i don't have any idea regarding the basic skills training from other hospitals (in manila) but i assure you that you will learn from up-pgh (learn medical advancements through research and development, explore different medical cases that were common in pgh but actually rare in other institutions, adapt to different environment with various persons and personalities, refine nursing skills, knowledge and attitude; and neutralize viewpoints on life, happiness, success, pain, suffering and deacth) actually, these were the reason why i joined the apcn. fortunately, i learned a lot. try to ask more from others then, decide. :) good luck and god bless!
