I have a question, you see I took the NCLEX-RN last December 12, 2007. I told a graduate from here that I took it for 32 minutes ( I went inside the room at around 8:05 then got out at around 8:49 minus the time that I took to fill in for those instructions which I think took me almost 12 minutes, that makes it around 32 minutes for the exam proper) he was somewhat irritated by that notion that I took it for just that time and he said he took it for almost 4 hours for 75 items. He was suspecting that I was blowing some smoke. So can anyone tell me why is he so upset by that?Maybe because I graduated from an ordinary school in the Philppines and he graduated from a university here in California?I just dont know.
Let that person feel that way but you should not think about it anymore...the only thing you should feel right now is to be proud of yourself. And you got through one of the toughest exams we had to take with much composure as you were able to get through it at a minimal amount of time.
That's probably one trait we Filipinos need to change. We always belittle ourselves when in fact we can be at par with others anywhere in the world. This goes to all the Filipino nurses out there. Some who are RNs in the US still feel that they are inferior in some terms. You have to keep in mind that whether you graduated from a University of Boondocks or from a prestigious university here in the US, everyone meaning no exemptions will have to take the NCLEX to be RN.
Let's be proud of ourselves and always be positive and not be around negative people:nono:
