DoLE: "We are sticking it out with Tests 3 and 5"

Posted by Lyle, RN

Labor Secretary Arturo Brion today announced that the Department of Labor will proceed with the optional partial retake inspite of a resolution by the American Nurses Association (ANA)calling for a full retake of the compromised June 2006 Nurse Licensure Examination.

“I suspect that the American Nurses Association would have a lot of influence on hiring but before the hiring, let us first solve our problem of getting our June 2006 nurses the CGFNS VisaScreen certificate." Brion added.

However, the labor department clarified that the ANA recommendation is still under study and will be discussed by DoLE, PRC, and nursing stake holders.

Brion earlier said that they are seeking representation with the ANA with the help of CGFNS officials.
