Senator Bong Go lauded PRC’s decision to move Nursing Licensure Examination to an earlier date.
On Wednesday, Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go lauded Professional Regulations Commission’s decision to reschedule the Nursing Licensure Examination (NLE) to an earlier date.
In a statement, Senator Go said that this will give fresh graduates who will pass the examination the chance to immediately augment healthcare professionals combating the COVID-19.
Senator Go also said that there’s a necessity to augment the frontliners as temporary medical facilities in the Philippines needed to increase the number of healthcare workers (HCW) who will take care of COVID-positive patients.
“Nagpapasalamat po tayo sa naging desisyon ng PRC na agahan ang nursing licensure examinations sa bansa upang madagdagan ng mga bagong board passers ang kasalukuyang bilang ng healthcare professionals sa ating bansa. Napakahalaga po nito ngayon, lalo na at may pandemya kung saan hindi lamang temporary medical facilities ang kailangan nating dagdagan kundi pati na rin ang bilang ng ating mga healthcare professionals na mangangalaga sa ating mga kababayan laban sa COVID-19,” Senator Go said.

Senator Go’s statement came after the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) announced that the Nursing Board Exam May 2021 schedule, which was previously rescheduled to November 2021, will push through on July 3-4 this year.
According to the Professional Regulations Commission, the Nursing Licensure Examination was initially rescheduled to November 2021 because of the increase in coronavirus cases in the Philippines, which could jeopardize the safety of future nurses and the PRC staff who will act as examiners.
Aside from this, the Professional Regulations Commission announced that the Nursing Board Exam November 2021 shall be retained.
