Hi everyone! Hope everybody is having a good day. it has been 4 years since I graduated BSN in the Philippines. I have been trying to pass the NCLEX but until now, no luck at all. It seems to me that I am slowly forgetting what I have learned (Clinically & Theoretically) in my 4 years in the Nursing school. I enrolled in kaplan , paid $700 but did not really worked out for me because all the instructor do is read questions in the projector for hours. I am enrolled in a review center right now and still trying to get the hang of it. I am working 5 days a week, so I only have the weekends to study. I failed my exam twice, and I just submitted my application for a re-take. I am not sure what am I doing wrong here. I have all the material, I have saunders, kaplan, nclex made easy, feuer audio,kaplan medication flashcards, and the list goes on. When I get home, I try to study at least 2 hours, and I try to suck all the information, its just that whenever I see a book, my brain automatically alerts me to say No!! I take the practice tests but the highest score I can get is 60%. I sometimes wonder of nursing is really for me. I love nursing, and I personally think that is the only field I really see myself doing for a long time, and it just doesn't seem to go on that same page as much as I want to.
Sometimes I wonder if a structured study habit is all I need. Need advice..I still love nursing just like how it felt during my first clinicals when I was still a student. Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for the encouragement. :) i guess that's all i need beside hardcore studying..lol yeah good luck on your test! if you think that you studied hard then i guess nothing could go wrong with that..lets all have faith! we can nail this!
thank you very much! wow i guess after hearing those advices from all of you i guess I just need to motivate and enjoy studying (all though i know that would be a challenge..lol) yeah i will look into that book you suggested. you are right, we all survived the 4 years of nursing, so I think we can all leap obstacle we called nclex and be the best RN's we could be!
PS,
Yes, I really need to discipline myself, and be flexible at the same time, and stop procastinating! Never quit! We can do this!! :dncgbby: oh yea! woot! woot!
yeah, I did download an app for android, that way wherever I may be I try to answer a couple of questions. yes, I guess I need to condition myself in answering many questions, because i will never know how many questions i might encounter. might as well prepare myself.. again, i am very grateful for all the tips you have given me. :stdnrsrck:
wow! congratulations po! you are now officially an RN! I am so happy for you. you will be my inspiration and motivation from now on..imagine you go to the library, answer so many practice questions, and really took your time well. I wish I could quit work, but I just can't. Got bills to pay. I guess this would be an extra challenge for me. I just need to double up whatever im doing. Thank you for all the tips you have shared, and prayers your about to offer. If I pass mag papa lechon ako! hahaha for, real thanks for everything. I really appreciate it especially from a person I don't know, for we share our experience with our love for nursing. Thanks again!
Hello there kababayan. Graduated 6 years ago bsn in the philippines. Amd i'm going to try my luck for Nclex. I hope i'll pass first try. I'm using saunders, la charity(my scores are killing me ),3500, kaplan cd and review strategies... i'm also having a hard time reading a book and aswering tons of questions but i'm forcing myself because i really have to. Been doing this for almost 2 months now. And i only have a month before the big day. Don't worry kabayan, you're not alone. Let's just try our very best and study hard. Ok? And don't forget to pray...[/quote
you can do it! we should have faith and never stop praying! we can do this!
that's true..i guess i was just really lazy to get up early. i am actually not a morning person, i am more effective to study late at night than to wake up like really early. i think i need to try waking up like really early and try to study.. thanks for the tips!
just like kakay i keep on getting 60% on practice test, i barely get a 70%. im trying to do 150 per day..i need to condition myself in answering practice questions. you'll never now how many questions your gonna get on the exam..
hi pitxurri19! Yeah im not alone..thank god.. that would be horrible if i am the only one. I just submitted my reapplication last week. Im planning to take it on october, so I have roughly 3 mos to do hard core studying.. This would be my 3rd take, and I don't know how to react if I failed again. I just need to motivate myself over and over again. Let's help each other out! :idea: good luck to all of us!
