Baguio City, Philippines – Over one thousand nursing graduates attempt to get their professional license by passing the two-day board examination in Baguio City on May 5 – 6.

This Monday, the Professional Regulation Commission Cordillera informed that a total of 1,252 PNLE examinees are taking the test at the Summer Capital, telling the public to expect heavy traffic towards the testing venue.

The PRC Cordillera, moreover, reminded the examinees to be cautious against fixers.
