First licensure test under new program eyed for November
RIYADH
The Philippines will administer annual board examinations for nurses in Saudi
Arabia starting in November this year.
The move is in line with similar efforts to introduce the tests in other areas with
large populations of overseas Filipino workers.
President Gloria Arroyo directed ambassador Antonio Villamor to start the
process that would make it easier for candidates to gain professional
certification.
