Quick facts

How to read this

Passing rate is passers divided by examinees. Conditional results are not counted as passed; they are included in examinees and are not shown separately.
First-timers took the exam for the first time. Repeaters had taken it before.
Region rates add up every school in the region. All exams combined adds up every sitting, so large schools weigh more.
vs national is the gap in percentage points from the national rate.

About this data

Source: PRC's “Performance of Schools” lists, one per sitting, June 2019 to September 2026.
Exam names: PRC calls the regular exam the Nurses Licensure Examination, and the exam it gives abroad the Nurses Special Professional Licensure Examination (SPLE).
Gaps: The data has no sitting between November 2019 and July 2021.
February 2026: The February 2026 sitting (PRC page posted 6 March 2026) lists 8,158 examinees, 3,611 passed, an overall passing rate of 44.3%, with 4 examinees withheld by PRC (8,162 announced). About half of the examinees were repeaters, who passed at 8.3%; first-timers passed at 79.1%.
July 2021: For July 2021 the school list adds up to 7,746 examinees. This matches the examinee count recorded for this sitting in the project's source notes; PRC's own page could not be read, so whether PRC withheld any examinees is not confirmed.
Hidden cells: For three 2021 rows, PRC's file hides the split of failures between first-timers and repeaters; overall figures are unaffected.
PRC totals: For 7 sittings PRC stated that it withheld a few examinees (1 to 21 each) from its school list, so the schools add up slightly below the number PRC announced. The table below marks each one.
Missing sittings: 3 sittings have no school list here: May 2022, May 2023, November 2023. Each is listed in the table below as Not available, with the reason.
Map: 258 of 663 schools (41,572 examinees across all sittings) have no confirmed place and are not on the map; they stay in the table as “not on the map”. 400 schools are placed approximately and show “(approx.)”; 5 are placed at their province only.
Names: cleaned for readability. A renamed school is joined to its earlier results where PRC's lists make the link clear.
Locations: not in PRC's lists. This site matched each school to its city or municipality, so a dot is not an exact campus.
Special sittings (4, the Nurses Special Professional Licensure Examination, SPLE, which PRC gives abroad; 102 to 1,806 examinees each) are included as their own entries, marked “(SPLE)”. They are left out of the national trend line.
Map boundaries: public Philippine administrative boundary data, simplified for the web.
