- The faculty member, clinical coordinator, chief nurse and dean WITH ACTUAL ACCOUNTABILITIES in the RLE of the student must be the signatories to the forms.
- Student must accomplish as many forms depending on the number of institutions/agencies where the RLE have been conducted. OR-DR-Cord Care Cases completed in two or more hospitals or agencies must bear the signature of the Chief Nurses of the particular institutions or agencies.
- The Delivery Room and Initial Cord Care requirements of Registered Midwives who are nursing graduates applying for the Nurse Licensure Examination are hereby WAIVED, provided they submit a “photo copy” of their updated PRC Identification Card.

@mariel: CS is for a major OR case. One student can handle the assist.

just want to ask what if there will be wrong spelling in the operation performed. will it be okay? i’v already done signing my prc templates.. ;(
@ rip : all written in the prc forms should be correct, that is why most students will have to repeat. reprint it several times.
good day po… ask ko lang po kung ung extracapsular cataract extraction ay major operation or minor?? sabi po kasi ng hospital where i got the case ay major operation daw po yun, while others said minor lang..
@ivy: Please ask your adviser or clinical coordinator about this matter, since they will be the one to approve and sign your cases.
Thanks po.. sabi po ng school, depende daw po sa hospital… thanks po ulit.. God bless…
mam, just want to ask.. for the name of the student. does it really need to be completed? such as Ben Bryan Camposgrado Palilio? or it can be like this, Ben Bryan C. Palilio?.. nakakatoxic kasi ang school!
@ Ben Bryan. with the middle initial only . Just be sure your name in your transcript of records is the same with your name as written in your birth certificate.If there is a disparity it will be a problem specially if you are going to a foreign country like the US.Good luck!

Gud day! I had my DR/OR cases signed last year since im planning to take the Nov 2009 NLE. For some personal reasons I wasn’t able to file and take the said exam. Now, i’m planning to take the july 2010 NLE. Should i have to change my DR/OR cases and have it resigned again? Or could i still use the one i had accomplished last year? Thanks.
@Rhian: yes you can still use it as is.
mam tanung ko lang kung dapat ba my logo ng school ang bawat form ng dr or cases? thanks
@dar: all the pages should contain the logo of the school Good luck ion your endeavors.
hi.. i just want to ask if what will be the color of balpen to be used in signing the prc form ‘CI and Staff signature”. is it blue or black pen?
@Jc : its black ink, buy one so that you will use the same pen for all their signature. Thanks
