Hotels and other room accommodations near Pearson Vue Manila

Here's a list of hotels and other accommodation providers near the Pearson Vue test center in Makati City. I'll try to add a couple more later on. I advise those who are interested to avail of accommodations to book as early as possible. I'm only providing a list of the places I know which are close to the test center, however, please try to get more feedback from other people about rates and the quality of service they provide.

If you can, call the hotel instead of booking online. Online booking rates are usually higher, and sometimes, promo rates are not posted fast enough.

**St. Illian's Inn - http://www.saintilliansinn.com/index.php
This is a budget hotel in Makati which offers one of the lower rates. It's not as close to Trident Tower as the other hotels, but it's not too far either. Getting to the hotel is a bit complicated, so if you're coming from the airport, be sure to print a map of the hotel's location to show the cab driver.

Getting to Trident Tower (Pearson Vue Manila)
From St. Illian's Inn, you can either take a cab to the Pearson Vue test center or you can walk (1-2 minutes) to Chino Roces Ave. (formerly Pasong Tamo), cross the street, get on a jeepney to PRC (a different PRC from the one in Morayta) and get down Buendia Ave. (your landmark is Mcdonald's). Ride another jeepney to Buendia-MRT or Guadalupe and then get off the old Shell Maya gas station, right after RCBC Plaza. (It seems that the Shell Maya gas station has been demolished and there's some construction work going on there. If you see the RCBC Plaza, then that's your cue that you're already near Trident Tower, which is the first building after the old gas station.)

thanks for the info geoff...you've been a really big help to me so far...hope that i haven't gotten on your nerves so far...

anyway, NCLEX test takers should take Buendia entrance and not Dela Costa st. entrance (Salcedo Towers).

add to your list Tiara Oriental Hotel (along Malugay St.)...it's walking distance to Trident.

could u pls check this letter of explanation pls... ok n b?
if u have some suggestion could u pls write tnx

In line with my application for NCLEX, I was advised that I lack my PRC nursing license which is a requirement to proceed with the process. Apparently, due to the large number of examinees who passed the Philippine nursing board licensure exam last June 2007, The PRC has set my license registration on October 22.

Consequently, the Philippine regulatory commission is said to issue our license sometime on November to December 2007. And since I have already registered at Pearson Vue last September 2007, I need to secure my application as soon as possible that I can for the reason that it was only valid for 365 days.

I’m hoping for your kind consideration for this situation that only my college diploma instead of PRC nursing license is attached on this application

Most of the people I know didn't suubmit a certification of board rating/passing, but it may be good that you send it as well.

With regard to the letter... you're in a tight bind. Normally you don't register with Pearson Vueunless you have the eligibility or not until you expect your Eligibility in a few months. If you don't get your Eligibility within a year, you will lose your initial registration and pay the Pearson Vue registration fee again. I wouldn't expect them to give an extension, whatever the case.

You're best bet perhaps is to find someone inside PRC to try and expedite the release of your card.

Which US state, by the way, have you applied for?

hi! passed the nclex exams!! i took it last may 19, 2008. i recommend you guys to stay at SALCEDO SUITES or famously known as LPL MANOR. get the superior deluxe because it's spacious and it has a veranda. it's just walking distance from the testing center, maybe a 10 minute walk. just ask the front desk personnel for directions.

now, my next step is to find an employer in california asap so that they can already give me a permanent rn license and my file will be abandoned and destroyed in three yrs if i can't comply with the requirements.

any suggestions?

//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...

UPDATE: In Sept. 2011, IDFPR made some changes to the application guidelines that affect internationally-educated nurses. Updated information is provided after each step, where necessary. Here's a quick rundown of the things to do when applying for a nursing license in the state of Illinois if you're a foreign-educated nurse: 1. Apply for a Credentials Evaluation Service (CES) report from the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). Request for a Course by Course evaluation or the Full Education report. Download the application form from the CGFNS Web site (http://www.cgfns.org). *** You may apply for a CES with either CGFNS or with Education Records Evaluation Services . 2. If your school's medium of instruction is NOT English, apply and take the TOEFL iBT (www.ets.org/toefl). How do you know if you're school's medium of instruction is English? Aside from trying to recall if your teachers taught in English and made you read books in Engli...
