PNAA says NCLEX is an achievement

October 15, 2007

NEW YORK - The declaration of the Philippines as an international testing site for the Filipino nurses wanting to find employment in the United States is viewed by Filipino communities in the US as a momentous achievement of the Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA). The PNAA, with the full backing of the administration of President Arroyo, spearheaded the Philippines bid as a testing venue through its Task Force on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Led by Ms. Filipinas Lowery,

the other members of the Task Force were Leo Felix Jurado, Lolit Compass, Seny Lipat, Rosario May Mayor and Reynaldo Rivera. It was a historic win for the PNAA and the Filipino nurses who wish to land a job in their chosen careers in the US now and in the future, enthused a young, bright-eyed Filipino nurse who arrived here recently. This single-minded purpose is encapsulated in the certificate of recognition presented by President Arroyo to the association during her reunion with leaders of the Filipino communities in Northeast United States at the Waldorf Astoria Towers on Sept. 26. The PNAA said there are around 90,000 Filipino nurses in the United States. Every year 12,000 to 14,000 Filipino nurses migrate to the US.
