Pinoy looking for study buddy

Published

I failed my NCLEX exam last week. I am having motivation issues, and looking for someone to study with. I graduated with BSN March 2008. I do not know what to do now. Need help!

Just an advice for Filipino Nurses, I won't recommend kaplan but Saunders and Lacharity if you choose to self review, especially if your a Philippine graduate nurse...but if you think its hard to study by yourself, it would be best to enroll in classes where most of students are filipinoes. Some things are hard to explain in english but you would understand in tagalog and would be easy to retain on your mind.

You'll gonna make it. Just believe in yourself and have faith. When I took my test I offered it to Him. Faith and mental conditioning really matters to me.. and it really helps. Anyway, on your review print this in a bigger font and post it on your wall to serve as your motivation. ENDURANCE - DEVELOPS EVERYTIME YOU DEFEAT THE TEMPTATION TO GIVE UP......QUITTERS NEVER LOSE BUT THEY NEVER WIN. REST IF YOU MUST. BUT DON'T QUIT

TODAY WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN ; DO NOT START IT WITH A BAD BAD IMPRESSION THAT THINGS ARE DIFFICULT .......AND THAT YOU CANNOT MASTER ANYTHING.......REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT BORN TO FAIL AND TAKING A SECOND CHANCE IS NOT AN OPTION...... YOU ARE BORN TO MAKE IT GOOD.

IT'S ALL IN THE MIND! ( I know you are on your 3rd take now but regardless just think you are on your first take.. Ok)

You can make it. Believe me. and Remember you cannot perfect your study routine everyday.. its ok to feel guilty that you didn't make your 100% on your daily review but keep on focus on it. Make a statement and Claim that you are already a nurse because you are. And put in mind NCLEX-RN is not your biggest test because in reality we encounter a lot of test in our daily life. Make a difference to everyone regardless of color, age and size and they are everywhere. They need your touch healing, help and compassion. and this is your biggest test to Him! Don't expect for the harvest time or return because it will come you naturally.

I remember going back home from the test when I saw an older man trying to take a ride at the train station that time I was already seating inside where as that old man has having a difficulty on walking with a crutch on one side.. while he is trying to get a seat.. the train suddenly start to run.. and that poor old man almost about to fell but he did not because I run from my approx. 10-12feet away to protect him I was on his back trying to secure and protect him from falling. And for me this the this is just a few and humble test of every people specially us nurses. Anyway, I found some valuable notes here from other members that help me a lot.. I will digg it later on and repost it here. Cheer up and take it easy! You'll gonna make it on your test this time.

Very inspiring story,i can tell your such a wonderful person

hey guys!

as i was going through this thread i can't believe that most of the people here are my kababayans... well, nice to meet you all!

before finding this site i thought i was the only one struggling through taking the nclex but now i've proven i was wrong... same with some of you here i graduated from the Philippines last march 2009 and until now still hoping to finally have that precious license which i was aiming for so long.

just recently retake the nclex rn last aug. 26 and guys take note this is the 4th time, so sad right?! and what sucks is i tried this famous trick but sad to say it lead me again to that cc page, now i don't know how to pick up myself again to have the guts to go back studying...still waiting for my official results!

Hi phinkgirl_27 so whats up? did u finally pass the exam? Have a good day!

Hi ladyangel341 do you know some places that most reviewee are Filipinoes? I live in Central Valley. between Fresno and Bakersfield. I'am thinking to go to a content course class since I graduated 2009 someone suggested HURST REVIEW($350 for 3days live class review with content and 2days exam at home) and they said its highly recommended than Kaplan. But I'm also thinking if I'm gonna find my study buddy around here in Porterville then I might just gonna use my books and just study at the library instead.

I have Saunders 5th ed, La charity 2nd ed, Exam cram Pearson 3rd ed. BEST BOOKS I HEARD.

GOD BLESS TO EVERYONE! Let's get it on!
