Labor and Employment Secretary Arturo D. Brion today said that the American Nurses Association's (ANA) resolution for the full retake of the June 2006 Nursing Board Examinations is a matter for its local counterpart, the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) and the Philippine Board of Nursing (BON) to address at this point.
"We should first allow the Board of Nursing to whom the ANA addressed its letter, to address the professional issue raised after consultations with the PNA. Let us give the nursing profession the first crack at responding to the issues of their American counterpart," Brion said.
Brion said that amidst this development, the scheduled voluntary retake of Tests III and V for those who passed the June 2006 exam and who want to work in the United States will proceed as scheduled.
