FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHICAGO - The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN) will begin NCLEX testing in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, at the international Pearson Professional Center on Aug. 23, 2007. Scheduling for examination appointments will begin on July 13, 2007.
The Manila site was chosen in February by the NCSBN Board of Directors because of the deep commitment shown by the Philippine government to ensuring a secure test center. The placement of a test site in the Philippines will allow for greater customer service to nurses without compromising the goal of safeguarding the public health, safety and welfare of patients in the U.S.
Intended for the purposes of domestic nurse licensure in U.S. states and territories, all security policies and procedures currently used to administer the NCLEX examination domestically will be fully implemented at this new site. Administration of the NCLEX examination abroad does not contradict or circumvent any current board of nursing process or requirement. All international candidates are required to apply to the board of nursing in the state or territory where they wish to be licensed before registering for the NCLEX examination. The NCLEX examination fee for all candidates is $200. Candidates who elect to take the NCLEX at an international site pay an additional $150 when they schedule their examination. State and territorial NCLEX examination fees remain at their current levels and are not being used to subsidize the international testing initiative.
Offered abroad since January 2005, the current international sites for NCLEX examinations are in London, England; Hong Kong; Sydney, Australia; Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, Canada; Frankfurt, Germany; Mumbai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai, India; Mexico City, Mexico; Taipei, Taiwan; and Chiyoda-ku and Yokohama, Japan.
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose membership comprises the boards of nursing in the 50 states, the District of Columbia and four U.S. territories.
Mission: The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), composed of Member Boards, provides leadership to advance regulatory excellence for public protection.

The opportunity to take the test with minimal expenses will surely expedite our processing and minimize our expenses.

baka naman magkaron na naman ng anomaly at bigla sabihin na naman ng US na di nila i rerecognize yung mga nagtake sa manila dahil me leakage na naman...remember, sa Luzon particularly manila and baguio nag-ugat ang leakage sa june 06 exam at libo libo lang naman ang nadamay.

we should be positive with the Philippines hosting the NCLEX... let's not be negative thinking that something (like a leakage) will happen which can jeopardize our chances of taking the exam here in our own country. remember that we already have a "homecourt" advantage over the other candidates, let's enjoy that!!! not every country can have the privilege of hosting the NCLEX. what we can do is help one another and do our part in protecting the integrity of the exam coz in the end, we are also protecting our integrity as a Filipino ...let's pray for the best!!!

Please do not try to underestimate our system. Maybe there was a scam but only a few participated in it. We deserve to have this exam in our native land. It is to our advantage that it will be held here. We could save a lot from this. We should be thankful.
