Community health nursing for the NLE — NP I
NP I is PRC's test on the care of individuals, families, population groups and the community. It's the most Philippine-specific part of the NLE: the health care delivery system, DOH programs and the realities of barangay and rural health work.
The official rules
The NLE is a two-day, paper-based PRC exam of five Nursing Practice (NP) tests, each 2 hours long. You pass with a general average of at least 75% and no NP below 60%; if your average passes but one NP is below 60%, you retake only that NP and need at least 75% in it.
The last Nurse Licensure (PNLE) was held on 29–30 August 2026 (weather make-up days 11–12 September). The next one is expected in 2027 but hasn't been announced by PRC yet. The NLE months moved from May/November in 2025 to February/August in 2026, so the 2027 month can't be predicted. PRC has not published its 2027 exam schedule yet.
