I passed NCLEX-RN Examination!!! Yehey!!!

Posted by graeyze on March 16, 2009

WohoOo!!! Finally…  My thin envelope has just arrived. Yes! I passed nclex! Wohooo! I woke up late and found a text message from my friend that she already received her nclex result so I think maybe mine is already here but I don’t feel nervous by that time. I’m ready. I went out from my room looking around me to look if there’s an envelope, Yes, I found an envelope but I didn’t recognize it if it’s from California Board of Nursing. I get the envelope to see what it is! Oh my gosh! From California Board of Nursing! I knew then that I passed without opening it because it’s a thin one hehe, then I opened it to be assured that I really passed. I passed yes I passed after 3weeks of waiting! I’m already a US-RN! I called my mother on her phone to bring her good news. I also called and texted my friends to say that I passed nclex. But I didn’t informed Jemuel yet because I want to surprise him. At last I have conquered this exam! What did I do to pass the exam? I enrolled in a good review center (Universal Review Center) they are a big part of my success. They say that you read Saunders in order to pass the exam; I think you don’t really have to. You can use it as a reference because it somewhat helped me when I need to read more about the disease but I really wasn’t able to read the whole book because I’m not fun of reading, really. Ha-ha. I answered a lot of questions, I used Saunders cd, but I really recommend using Kaplan qtrainer and Nclex 4000, it is very similar to nclex question that is why when I’m on the exam, the way the question was delivered is not new to me. I really felt that I’m just doing a practice exam. I felt that I failed the exam, because I got the wrong answer in computation and I just guessed it, next I have 2 questions that are very tricky and asking me for a normal ones. And my confession, I just don’t know the medications they are asking I just guessed it. I guessed it to the feeling that I think its right but I’m not sure. You see I have a lot of unsure answers. But ofcourse somewhat I just felt that I think I passed because I knew I was able to answer the other questions correctly. By that time I was thinking is the questions given to me is more on analysis? Because as they say the harder the question the better. But I can’t differentiate the easy and the harder one.  I can’t also forget the light that stikes me while I was taking the exam, now I’m thinking maybe it’s a guidance from above, really, because the room is closed and just have some curtain on it, but in my cubicle light strikes me while I was taking the exam. I knew then that God is with me.  The exam for me is not that hard it’s just very tricky that’s why I some what not that confident that I passed. But now I realized why I’m feeling that way that I wasn’t felt too hard in that exam, because I study and prepared for it. This is the fruit of my labor. One not needs to be so knowledgeable to know everything, because like me I’m just an average type person, and I say “Bawal masyadong matalino, malalaman ng computer un” Ha-ha. So here are my special thanks from the bottom of my heart, to URC who really helped me a lot and they are really highly recommended. To my family and friends for giving me their support and prayers. To Mama who’s with me during my exam, it’s very true! Mothers are very lucky so get them to accompany you when you take your exam. To Jemuel for being my inspiration and sometimes despiration.Ha-ha. For giving me those motivational quotes like “Once you visualize it will materialize” and others and especially thanks for the times that he has to woke up early because I’m already in their house to study. Yes, some of my time I really went to their house to study. Maybe you think I wasn’t able to concentrate but for me it’s better and more relaxing, Ha-ha. To St. Jude for giving me hopes. And more especially to God for all his blessings and guidance through out my life.  Thanks to all! I’m really happy, I made it!

Happy Birthday Jemuel!!!

Posted by graeyze on March 13, 2009

Yohooo!!! Today is Jemuel’s birthday! Yes he is already 23 years old.

What happened today? Well I went to Veterans to follow-up my application. It’s really annoying on what happened to me. I had stain in my pants! I’m in personnel department when I felt that something is wrong and I really have to go to the restroom. Veterans restroom in the lobby is untidy so I tried to look for another restroom. Luckily, there’s an employee in veterans maybe she felt that I had a problem and I need to go to the restroom immediately so she opened the staff restroom for me. Thanks God! I easily removed my stain because I’m wearing a dark pants so I guess it’s not very obvious if I wasn’t able to get rid of that stain. Although its really uncomfortable I just sat down in the canteen just ate waffle cheese dog for lunch and waited for 1pm, thanks to my cousin Girly we texted for a while that’s why I’m not felt bored while waiting for the time.  Then after 1pm I went to Nursing Education and they scheduled me for an interview. Whew! That’s nervous isn’t it? Then Jemuel the birthday boy who is going to PRC for his registration is just on his way to PRC, so we agreed to meet at SM North Edsa first, then we went to PRC, the registration is not toxic only Jemuel hahaha! It’s funny whenever I think of it! What is it? He has to pay for the registration fee and he looks back at me while his at the line and like saying he has to pay! Of course he has to pay! But maybe his very toxic he went back to me after his verification and said he has to pay! Yes you really have to pay! He thought that the fee is for the oath taking which he cannot attend because he is already in Japan by that time. Afterwards, we went to SM North Edsa again and ate at Mang Inasal at the annex. It’s our first time to eat there. Then I gave him my gift which he didn’t noticed at first. Haha. Then we just have a short walk then I went to grocery store with my mother at Cherry Foodarama and he went to computer shop to watch his favorite anime bleach. It’s very tiring when I got home and I have to prepare because tomorrow is the day that we will going to have our overnight swimming at Harong ni Charing in Pansol Laguna. I feel sleepy now,,, Happy birthday again Jemuel,,,,
