(Look at the bottom of this blog post for the updates!)
But as of now, I want to share this update sent to me by the Licensure Division of Professional Regulation Commission - Baguio City Regional Office as a reply to my query about this matter (sent last July 5, 2011):
<Me:> Kelan po kaya lalabas yung result ng NLE July 2011?
<Reply:> We just finished the conduct of July 2-3, 2011 Nurses Licensure Examination. All reports and exam materials have been forwarded to the Central Office. We do not know as to when will the result be released. Just keep on visiting our website in August.
Thank you.
Licensure Division
And also, for those who will take the December NLE, be reminded that the deadline of applications will be on September 16, 2011 (for Repeaters) and October 21, 2011 (for 1st Timers). Please find time to visit the PRC Official website (and official websites of Regional Offices too) for more info especially if they offer Mobile (Extension) Application Services. (This is of much help to reduce transpo expenses). For Pangasinan, services will be offered on August 26, 2011 at San Carlos City, 9AM-5PM, (Venue TBA)
UPDATE # 2:
Board of Nursing Member Marco Antonio C. Sto. Tomas posted in his Facebook Fan page last Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 3:02am:

ABOUT THE OATHTAKING FOR JULY 2011 BOARD PASSERS:
Yesterday afternoon, BoN Member Hon. Marco Antonio Sto. Tomas posted this note in his Official Facebook Fanpage:
TO ALL NEW PASSERS OF THE NLE
by BoN Marco Antonio C. Sto Tomas Fan Page on Monday, August 22, 2011 at 3:29pm
"In your Nursing Ethics and Professional Adjustment/Jursiprudence Lessons your school should have taught you that THERE ARE 3-FOLD REQUIREMENTS TO BE A PROFESSIONAL/RN IN THE PHILIPPINES: 1. Apply, take and PASS your Nurse Licensure Examination; 2. Take your Oath of Professional (individually or in group); and 3. Register from your Professional License. You have satisfied only no. 1 and you will need to satisfy the 2nd and 3rd requirement by adhering to the schedules to be set by PRC so keep yourselves posted in the PRC Website.
The BON has DONE AWAY with the traditionally MASS OATHTAKING in order to respond to current "economic difficulties" faced by "most" your families (cost-saving measures) and current job-scarcity among nurses. SIMPLIFYING the oathtaking is a must at this time. So YOU MAY TAKE YOUR OATH AT THE SAME TIME OF REGISTRATION with PRC.
FOR EVERYONE'S GUIDANCE. "
As this note form a BoN Member and his Facebook Status Posts suggest, Mass Oathtaking will not be done anymore taking into consideration the current financial and economic crisis that we have. But, as he responded to one of the passer's query, "Special Group Oathtaking" may be done with proper written request from Colleges' Deans to Board of Nursing through the PRC.
As for me, the best thing to do as of the moment is to wait for an Official Statement from the BoN as a whole body.
RESULT OF THE JULY 2011 IN NEWSPAPERS:
According to a Newspaper seller, the complete list of July 2011 NLE Passers will be published and be out today, August 23, 2011. So grab your copy NOW!
