Gauging Your Chance of Passing Nursing Licensure Exam

Graduating nursing is an achievement, but the story doesn’t ends here because we need to pass the ultimate exam, the Nationwide Nursing Licensure Exam. This is first exam you need to pass after graduating nursing school in order to fulfill your ultimate goals. To be honest, it is challenging to gauge oneself if you will have a greater chance of passing or failing the examination. There are…

Hold on.

It's been a while since the last blog post I've made. I've been so busy this past few months but today I decided to make a post. So here it is..

I've been inspired by these people (well, they're my lecturers.. Hello TOP RANK REVIEW ACADEMY lecturers!:>) who used to give us advises and inspirational messages and that actually made me realized something. I've been so passive with our upcoming Nurses Licensure Exam this coming November. It's less than 2 months I think and I'm not making any extra effort in studying ( Yeah I admit that), I don't even top the exams in the Review Center (which I think is not important). I believe that whatever achievements you'll make in the Review Center will not give you a 100% assurance that you'll pass or even top the actual board exam.

Until one day that perception changed. I always pray to God that by His will, I can pass all these things, all these trials, challenges in my life. I always pray to him to help me, guide me and send his wisdom upon me. I woke up one day realizing that all my plans were not important, that you have to trust in HIS PLAN. What I am saying is that each one of us has its own destiny (Do you believe in Destiny? Well I  DO),  everything happens for a reason, everything happens in the right time, everything happens according to his plan. If something bad happens in the past its because God has a better plan for you in the future.

Let me share to you some of my learnings for the past few days:

1. Trust in HIM. No matter how intelligent you are, no matter how skillful you can be.. if you don't believe in Him, you will never succeed. Or maybe you thought you can but you will never have a true meaning of Happiness in life.

2. Be Inspired. Keep yourself inspired. Find anything or anyone to be your source of inspiration. Besides you have your family, friends and mentors who believes in you. I realized that when you're inspired you can do things easily. You can even study until midnight or even easily comprehend all your lessons (or anything you study about). Mind you guys, Inspired people will often succeed in life".

3. Do not stop when you're tired, Stop when you're finish. I always keep this in my mind, whenever I'm studying and my eyes were nearly closing.. I usually slap my face or even pull my hair or pinch my cheeks just for me to be awaken. HAHA. I'll tell myself that I have to finish my goal (like answering 100 items board exam questions/ critical thinking questions before I go to bed). I can't sleep unless I finished it. That's commitment. 

4. Stay Positive. Never ever let your problems or fears or disappointments keep you away from your dreams. Guys, FEAR is what stops you, COURAGE is what keeps you going. Keep the courage, keep going on.

5. Negativity is all around you, choose to POSITIVE. Even when you're not famous or an actress/actor you know there are people who bashes you. Well particularly your worst enemy. Keep in mind that, There might be many people saying "you can't do that", "you're not good enough", "you're just not as good as others", "you are such a loser." "you can't pass that exam", "you will fail.".. and you're like saying "What the hell is wrong with you people?!" But No. You can't just say that. Wanna know whenever I hear that kinda statements? I'll just simply Smile back and keep quiet. But in my head I was like saying "You might think I'm not but I am. I am better than I was yesterday, but not as good as I will be tomorrow. So watch out."  You know guys, If you focus on problems, bad vibes or negativity, you'll have more problems. If you focus on positivity and possibilities, you'll have more opportunities. And why do you have to mind other people when they don't even matter to you? So why stress your self.

Remember, "You'll never accomplish anything if you don't believe that you can do it." So before you sleep tonight tell yourself, "Nothing can stop me. I can do it. I will make it happen." Good luck to us. God bless. :))

Pre-NLE Tips and Reminders

The following tips are from our over-all level coordinator, she gave this to us 2 days before the board exam.

1. Ensure that all your PRC documents (NOA) are complete, prescribed calculator, pencil, sharpeners and pens are tested. 2. Get adequate rest and sleep. 3. Avoid dairy products and fatty foods before exam. 4. Check nursing uniform. 5. Bring water (remove labels), candies and light snack 6. Place all belongings in a clear plastic envelope 7. Bring medications anti-diarrheals, no-drowse cough and cold remedies, bronchodilators if asthmatic, paracetamol etc. 8. Be at the exam site 30 mins before the time 9. Always listen to the instructions given by your proctor... (dont ask from your seatmate.) Ask questions if you are in doubt. 10. Take a toilet break before the start of every exam 11. After each exam, avoid discussing the questions with others. (BE NOT TOO FRIENDLY THIS TIME) discussing/hearing possible answers increases your anxiety. Give yourself a space and try to relax for the next set of questions.

Addendum:

For females having their monthly period, it's highly recommended to bring extra underwear and shorts, just in case "tagos" happens. Of course, don't forget your sanitary napkins, feminine wipes etc.

Bring in some nuts and sweets. They'll keep you awake. 

If you drink milk every morning, spare them just for two days and as much as possible, other dairy products too. They'll make you sleepy which is a big no-no for the big day. Fatty foods are not recommended as well because it may satisfy your satiety. When body is feels or thinks it's full you have the tendency to be sleepy.

Mild anxiety is fine! Overly anxious is NOT. Anxiety somehow helps you to be alert, why? Epinephrine. Anxiety triggers the release of epinephrine, thus it makes you alert and awake just DON'T BE ANXIOUS TOO MUCH!

As much as possible if you could avoid discussing your answer with others, please do so. Nakakapanghina marinig ang mga sagot nila sasamahan pa nila ng rationale kung bakit nila sinagot.

USE YOUR TIME WISELY! As in WISELY! Time management is the key. Wag magpa-apekto sa pangangarag ng proctors. Wag din kayo magalit sa proctors dahil sumusunod lang sila sa schedule. 

Don't review a day before. Totoong wala ng papasok na information. Just relax and enjoy the day before the exam.

Kung matapat kayo sa air-conditioned room at natapat din kayo sa air-con tulad ng nangyari sa akin, focus lang. Mind over matter, it works.. for me! haha. 

PS: Don't be late for the big day! Best of luck and God bless! :)

PPS: Don't forget to pray! :)

Sabi nila kung ano daw yung sakit ng isang kilalang tao, maari yun lumabas sa board exam.

Sabi kasi yan nung instructor namin sa center. May posibilidad daw na lumabas sa board exam ang kundisyon ng isang kilalang tao. Ang example ng instructor namin nun ay yung kay Francis M. Alam naman natin na nagkaroon siya ng Leukemia, di niya sigurado kung may koneksyon nga ang pagkakasakit ni Francis M. ng Leukemia dahil lumabas daw yun sa board exam niya. May ilang question sa board exam na related sa Leukemia and its managements.

Posible di ba? Tulad ngayon, nabanggit sa amin na basahin kung ano yung kundisyon ni Former President GMA, alam naman natin na paalis na siya ngayon ng bansa para magpagamot daw (Aminado ako, I have doubts with her condition. May mga nababalitaan kasi ako, pero secret nalang) Napapansin naman natin na meron na siya ngayong suot na HALO TRACTION. Yung HALO TRACTION eh yung suot niya ngayon na naging dahilan para sabihin na mukha siyang cast ng TRANSFORMERS.

May posibilidad na lumabas sa exam ang management and indications for HALO TRACTION. Pwede rin lumabas yung condition niya sa PARATHYROID (di ako sure kung hyper o hypo, di na ko nanonood ng balita) Pwede rin yung condition na naging cause kung bakit siya kelangang operahan due to Spondylosis (di ako sure sa condition sorry! sabi lang ng instructor namin yan di ako updated LOL)

Ayan dahil dyan magbabasa na ako, madugong exam na naman bukas eh :)
