thank you so much to all of you :)

just think that there's nothing to be afraid of. You already did your best during the review and practiced a lot as possible so there's no way that the computer will beat you.. besides, it's just a computer. have a good rest and be confident. if you heard other examiners talking about questions and answers on the examination day, don't listen. for it will just add up to your anxiety. just stay focused. remember that the question depends on how you answer the previous ones. Just relax on your chair. Don't start until you're fully relaxed. Just think that you're at school, taking the long quiz or exam. most important of all, PRAY.. it will boost your confidence. goodluck...

let me share my experience... it was a beautiful afternoon of august 19 2009.. i packed my things as well as my books. i went to my grandmother's house to let her know that i will be leaving the province to take the nclex in the city. she bid me goodbye and wished me luck. so... i went on my way. in the bus, i opened my book. i was about to cram but then, a man seated beside me started talking. his mouth is like a 24/7 store. then li'l by little, got headache.. feeling nauseated i faced at the window... wishing that im already in the house of my aunt. finally, after 4 hours bus ride, i'm in my aunt's place.. it was so HOT in there... it is like that i'm toasted in the oven alive. my sweat, gosh! you couldnt imagine. when i arrived, i put my things in the room then i opened my book again.. but my aunt started to talk. i missed her because i havent seen her for a year.. we chat and chat and chat.. when i looked at my watch, i found out that it was already 3 in the morning. my exam is at 9am. i bid goodnight to my aunt. i told her to please wake me up at 6am because i have to prepare, have my breakfast and arrive at the exam site 1 hour before the exam. i took a shower, prepared my things and went to bed. when i looked at my watch again, it is already 5am. im so nervous.. i opened my book again.. after reading 1 word, i fell asleep. then my aunt woke me up. she said that it is already 6 in the morning.. i started panicking. i havent read my book yet.. and i only have 1 hour sleep.. but i fixed myself and prayed. im picking up the pieces of my broken courage and confidence.. still managed to dress up well with a white shirt and blue jeans.. while waiting for he taxi, i bought juice and hotdog for breakfast. then i decided to eat it in the taxi because i know it is traffic. i arrived at the exam site exactly 8 in the morning, my head started throbbing and im having palpitations.. i feel nauseated.. while the security is checking my things, i felt the urge of vomiting so i went to the nearest container because the powder room is on the 27th floor. i vomitted. and vomitted.. when i faced the hallway, all the person on that floor are looking at me.. i wondered why... then i looked at my white shirt.. Oww.. my... gosh... i know you know why... worst is, the container that ive been throwing up was the container where the people working on that building put their umbrellas.. :imbar i realized that it was an umbrella holder.. ashamed, i went outside the building. no shades there.. it was hot.. i started sweating again. when i came back, all the exam takers are gone. they are inside and taking the exam so i hurried and let the proctors check on me. while in the middle of my exam, i felt nauseated again so i went to the powder room at my break time. i wasted 1 hour in the bathroom. because of the stomach ache, nausea and vomitting.. at my 2nd break, i suffered of LBM.. i really feel ill that time. when i went back to continue the exam, i found out that i only got 3mins left.. i hurried but then the computer stopped.. i have lots of SATA, computations, and 1 putting in order procedure. my head felt like it was hitted by a hammer. i felt like crying because after all the preparation, 1.. just 1 unlucky day could ruin it all.. i went back in the province that same day.. with my shirt filled with,... you know what... and tell my relatives of what happened that faithful afternoon.. i just prayed.. after 3 weeks of waiting, i received an envelope... good news: i passed.. im not expecting it.. so i jumped and jumped and jumped out of happiness... bad news: i slipped. ...i have to see a therapist. disaster, isnt it? but still, im so so so thankful and happy.. there's really NOTHING impossible with GOD.
