I have an RN license here in MA and we are moving to TX next month. I had worked in the Philippines also as an RN for 2 years prior to coming here in MA. TX BON will require verification of all the licenses that you had in the past and that includes your Phil. license. If you read my previous post as to how I did it with PRC, it might give you an idea and it might help. Goodluck.

Hi, I would just like to share my experience with regards to license verification, it might help those people who are in the same situation like me. I was very concerned too because I know that everything can take a while when you try to deal with papers in the Phil. esp., it's been a long while since I got my license there. I got my Phil. RN license in 1985. First of all, I believe in prayers and I thank God for I believe that everything was arranged by Him. I prayed about it before I started the process, asking for guidance and direction. I looked at the website of BON Phil., e-mailed someone over there to inquire about license verification. A board member replied to me and directed me to go through PRC. For the meantime, I faxed all the documents necessary to my relatives back home including a copy of my RN Phil. license certificate, transcript of records from the school where I graduated, marriage certificate (as proof of my name change-maiden to married name), and of course the TX form that PRC needs to complete for my verification. The processing fee all together was about 3,000 pesos. Then I e-mailed the Chief, Registration Division about my request and told her that my relative will go to PRC and bring all the necessary documents this week. My relative called PRC first before going there to let them know that they are coming. My relatives met the Chief, Registration Division yesterday (05-05-10) and everything was arranged and mailed out by DHL right after. They said they were at PRC from 11am-2pm. So, hopefully this will be a helpful information for others.

Hi, I am in the same situation. I'm an RN here in MA for 21 yrs. now and will be moving to TX this summer. So, I need to verify my Phil. RN license that I held there when I worked as part of TX BON requirement. Yes, there is just one form from TX that needs to be verified by PRC, I am hoping that it will be quick and easy. I will ask a family member to do this for me. Are you all set with regards to your verification? How did you do it? Pease advice and thank you.
