During my lectures, I always say to my nurses that they have to cling on to these “weapons” in facing the board exam. Think of the Nursing Licensure Examination in the Philippines as a 3-headed or even 10-headed dragon capable of attacking you in different aspects and many are relying on you to kill it being its destined slayer. Are you going to fail these people or are you going to do something to ascertain triumph over this battle? The choice is in your hands…

1. KNOWLEDGE

- Before facing the dragon, you should know its weak points so that you will do a perfect hit in just the right point. Winning this board exam requires the utilization of a collection of knowledge from elementary to formal nursing college. If you face a question that you KNOW, then you are likely to get the correct answer!

2. TEST-TAKING SKILLS

- Nursing is very broad. Studying for the board exam is like attempting to catch every raindrop with just one pail… oh wait make it 5 pails - One for each area (Med-Surgical, LMR, CDN/ CHN, Pedicatric/MCN, Psychiatric Nursing). No matter how big your pail is, it is still impossible to get the millions of stuffs to memorize, familiarize, or understand. This is where the test-taking skill comes in, which is the ability to arrive in the correct answer with a very probability even if you totally do not know anything about the question. I will post another entry about Test-taking skills soon so watch out.

3. PRAYERs

- If one can move mountains with prayers… then I do not see why not to just one crazy exam!?
