Cagayan de Oro City is among the seven testing sites all over the country for the NLE. Other testing sites include Manila, Cebu, Iloilo, Baguio, Davao and Zamboanga.
Nationwide, over 80,000 nursing graduates are set to take the NLE.
In Cagayan de Oro, the identified testing venues are the Gusa National High School, City Central School, Capitol University and Liceo de Cagayan University, both college and high school.
The NLE is a two-day paper and pencil test. Per examination day, the examinees are expected to report at their respective testing venue at 6:00 o’clock in the morning for the general instructions while the exam proper starts at 8:00 o’clock.
For day one, the exam duration runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. but the second day will end at 1:00 p.m.
In a phone interview, one of the PRC secretaries said they estimated that 60 percent of the registered examinees in the region are fresh takers while the remaining 40 percent are repeaters. (Paul John A. Vesagas)
