Did you know that the PRC can release the nursing board exam results earlier than the expected date?
It has previously been observed that the PRC, as an implementing and policy-making body, may not adhere to the schedule for releasing exam results. Based on the resolution no. 2113, February 2026 NLE will be released on March 19, 2026.
There have been a few occasions, however, where the PRC has released the results early; for example, the November 2022 NLE results were released 3 days early. Similarly, the PRC published the May 2022 NLE results 10 days earlier than expected.
In conclusion, the February 2026 Nursing Licensure Exam results will be available at any moment or closer to the expected date of results.
