Question & AnswerQ&A (PRC BOARD OF NURSING Resolution NO. 351, S. 2000)
Section 30 (B) penalizes any person who undertakes in-service educational programs or conducts review classes for both local and foreign nursing examinations without a permit or clearance from the Philippine Nurses Association, the Board of Nursing, and the appropriate office or officer of the Department of Labor and Employment.
Applicants must secure clearances from the Philippine Nurses Association and the appropriate office or officer of the Department of Labor and Employment before filing their application.
Applicants must submit the following: NBI Clearance, Police Clearance, Clearance from the Office of the City/Provincial Prosecutor where the review center is located, and Mayor's permit of the City/Municipality where the review center is established.
The Board of Nursing, in coordination with the Philippine Nurses Association and appropriate government offices, enforces the registration requirements under the PRC Board of Nursing Resolution No. 351.
It takes effect fifteen (15) days following its publication in the Official Gazette or in a newspaper of general circulation in the Philippines, whichever is earlier.
Conducting review classes without proper clearance or permit as required under Section 30 (B) of RA 7164 is penalized, which means one may face legal consequences including possible fines or other sanctions.
The resolution was signed by Chairman Corazon B. De La Pea, members Lucia B. Simon, Remedios L. Fernandez, Mila Delia M. Llanes, Eufemia F. Octaviano, Secretary Carlos G. Almelor, Commission Chairman Hermogenes P. Pobre, and Associate Commissioners Alfonso G. Abad and Avelina De La Rea-Tan.
These clearances help verify the legal standing and integrity of the persons or entities applying to operate nursing review centers, ensuring they are compliant with laws and free from criminal liabilities.
The Mayor's permit serves as proof that the review center is authorized to operate in the specific city or municipality, complying with local government regulations.
Applicants must secure clearance from the appropriate office or officer of the Department of Labor and Employment.
