I PASSED 1st take!!! What I did.

Published

I cant believe it! I PASSED the NCLEX, yeah I cant really believe that Im still Gonna be a Nurse despite of all the ups and down in my life. Before I got here in USA i took the Philippines Local Board Exam but suddenly I didnt passed, so since that day I forgot about being a Nurse, but you know what now I believe in the saying "IF ITS MEANT TO BE, IT WILL BE", If u didnt make it at once it doesnt mean it will not be yours, Remember that theres really no FAILURE but DELAYED SUCCESS there is... So never lose hope, Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to wait with a good attitude, with the mixture of Sacrifices, Self discipline and self motivation. : o)

So what happened during and after my NCLEX? Honestly I wasnt that prepared, I felt so incomplete when it comes to content, I wasnt that good in SATA, I barely even get the SATA questions right. I just really did a lot of Positive self-talk to calm my self before the exam. I was reading stuffs reagrding NCLEX at allnurses before, some says NCLEX is very straight forward and its not as bad as KAPLAN or LA CHARITY, Its true its straight forward and not as bad as Lacharity however in my opinion NCLEX is one of the TRICKIEST exam I have ever had, I thought I was gonna fail, I thought the exam will stop at 75 and it wont give me any chance because at number 75 but it go all the way to 220, that was so tiring, I was so exhausted and drained after. I cried after the exam because I really thought that I failed, so I drove home and did the PVT trick and it was a GOOD POP-UP!!! I was still skeptical though so I waited till today and find out that I PASSED!!!!

-Studying everyday was like a habbit to me from 10am to 12mn, thats crazy I know but Im kinda OCD... lol

-Dont forget to give yourself what you want during the review but not excessively, like go to FB/Instagram/Twitter, dance, or sing or whatever that will helps you relax just no to burn your self out...

-Eat healthy food and some exercises.

-And most specially dont forget to PRAY!! Everything thats happening to us is in his WILL!!!: o)
