a big congratulations to you!! we have the same case..kinda like identical! graduated 4 yrs ago, taking my nclex for the 3rd time, and does facebooking .i guess i have to deactivate it will im studying. i am trying to remember my nursing theories, coz after my graduation, i left philippines and came here to US. In this 3rd time, i am trying my best to double up my studying skills. Hope i will pass the third time...

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!

Thank you very much! im trying my best now to study harder and focus more.. hope it works!

i though digoxin was .2 to 2.0??

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..

i know we have alot of kababayans.. yea were on the same page. im taking their advices i guess we need to double up our hardwork.. lets 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!

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! :bowingpur:bowingpur:bowingpur

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:

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!

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!

Hi there! Thank you for your response. A month after graduation i came here, so i did not have the chance to take the local boards back at home ,so o really have no idea what to expect. I really cant afford to go home right now study because of financial reasons. I cannot afford to quit work as well. I have never answere that so many practice questions. I tried doing a hundred but i would get tired easily, then i would start procastinating. Thats why i read the book because i think i need to understand the content better. I will ttry to do more practice questions as you suggested. Hope it works! Thank you so much for your help..

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 Jujubeegirl! You are so not alone! We have the same case..I have all the books, even audio cd, online. I have all the materials, but for some reason I am so overwhelmed with all the topics. I don't know which subject to study first. I failed it twice, and whenever I do practice test mostly i get is a score of 60's.. thats the highest it can get. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Need help! Would appreciate it thanks! Good luck to all test takers! Don't lose hope! We can nail this! :w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t:
