just bring a photocopy of your registration form or your PRC ID to the PNA Office. I can't remember the exact amount of the registration fee, but I think it's from P200 to P300.

Often, there's a PNA table inside the PRC compound during the registration dates for new nurses. You can register there and then claim your PRC card from their office at a later date.

The registration schedule posted here is accurate, the last time I checked. But please call the PRC, instead, as schedules may have been changed. I haven't been able to visit the PRC office in a while. Hope you understand.

//How To// Applying for a license in New Zealand

Filipino nurses who wish to register with the Nursing Council of New Zealand must show proof that they are registered with the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) of the Philippines as a nurse and they must either 1) have completed an assessment program or 2) have earned a qualification equivalent to a New Zealand nursing qualification. Only a nursing degree earned from an Australian nursing school is deemed equivalent to a NZ nursing qualification, so unless you have the money to enroll in Australia or NZ, the best route to take is the 6-week competency assessment program. To simplify the application process, here's what you need to do: 1. Take the IELTS. A band of 7 on all parts of the exam is required by the NZ Nursing Council. An average of 7, with scores below 7 in any part will not qualify you for registration. You must consistently score at least 7 in all parts--reading, listening, writing and speaking. 2. Once you have the IELTS, contact the NZ Nursing Council. You wil
