DAGUPAN CITY, July 5 (PIA) – The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC)-Baguio Regional Office will conduct mobile outreach services in Pangasinan this July to process initial registration of nurses who passed the recent licensure exams.

Teofilo Gaius Sison Jr., regional director of PRC-Baguio, said the mobile outreach services will enable passers to save on travel time and expenses.

Mobile outreach services will be held from 9am to 4pm on July 11-DepEd II Division Office in Binalonan town; July 14-Robert B. Estrella Sr. Memorial Stadium in Rosales town; July 17-Dagupan City People’s Astrodome; and July 25-Alaminos City Hall Legislative Building.

“The Office will process initial registration on first come, first served basis; no alphabetical queuing,” said Sison.

Those who will register are required to bring the following: duly-accomplished Oath Form (to be distributed during the mobile outreach); 2015 community tax certificate or cedula; two pieces passport-size picture with white background and spelled out nametag (surname, first name, middle name); one documentary stamp; and initial registration fee of P1,050.

Sison said that professional ID cards (PICs), official reports of ratings and requested certifications (passing and ratings) will be issued after the oath taking ceremonies.

In Pangasinan, the issuance is scheduled on August 2 at 9 am-12 noon at the Dagupan City People’s Astrodome.

“For verification of grades/ratings, visit http://www.prc.gov.ph, using registrant’s application number indicated in the notice of admission,” he said.
