About the Board

The Professional Regulatory Board of Nursing is created under Republic Act No. 9173, otherwise known as the Philippine Nursing Act of 2002. The Board is under the administrative supervision and control of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).

The Board formulates and implements measures, policies, and programs for the improvement of the nursing profession in the Philippines. It also supervises and regulates the practice of nursing in the country.

One of the primary responsibilities of the Board is to administer the Nurse Licensure Examination to determine the fitness of nurse applicants for registration and professional practice.
