[NLE] Why is our FIRST ANSWER likely the CORRECT ANWER?!05.31.08

Sigmund FreudWe have experienced changing our answer on a question we think is really hard. “I answered [A] but I am sure it is [C]”… After wasting minutes of thinking you finally decide to erase “A” and shade “C”. After checking the paper, you find out that the correct answer is unfortunately [A]. “Damn!”

According to Freud, the mind is divided into 3 structures. The Conscious, Preconscious/Subconscious, and unconscious. What you think and are being aware of NOW is the Conscious. If you read and discuss a topic it is conscious. After eating snacks your memory of what you just studied fades. It goes to the Subconscious. You can recall it but you need to think… a lot. After sometime, that information stored in the subconscious will be later absorbed by the unconscious and it will no longer be recoverable unless you re-read the book you got eh information from.

You become really good with MedSurg during the lecture but after the LMR lecture has clouded your mind, you tend to forget most of the MedSurg concepts… Correct? Haha! I’m sure this is true to almost everyone. Don’t worry guys, what you have learned is not lost. It’s just there. It’s just stored in the UNCONSCIOUS. If you study Medsurg again, it will be easier to memorize stuffs because your brain will tell you that you already have this information… you are just attempting to recover it.

Now, nursing is a very BROAD concept and you cannot bring it to the CONSCIOUS all at once when you face the board examination. So what now? Let your UNCONSCIOUS answer the paper. No, I am not telling you to effin sleep!! Die bitch! WHen you read the question, the first answer that you feel is correct i most likely the correct answer even if it is irrational. Why? it is because your unconscious is telling you the correct answer. You cannot rationalize it because it is absent in the conscious nor the subconscious yet you have read something about the question before and the information has been stored in the unconscious.

That’s it… I call this phenomenon the “UNCONSCIOUS ANSWERING”. Don’t change your first answers. It is most likely the correct answer and don’t mess up your answer sheet. Erasures during the board exam might be the reason why you fail so why take the risk?

SEPTEMBER Rematch of De la Hoya and Mayweather!05.28.08

Who ever said fighting was bad! Well, they are actually right, you know, but boxing? Hell no! Now, after Mayweather’s victory over De La Hoya at the MGM Grand Arena at las Vegas last May 5, 2008, which was one of the most lucrative boxing matches ever (of over 120 freaking USD of revenue!), there seems to be another fight of the same expense that is a must-see this September.

Oscar De La Hoya have backed off on plans for a May fight and the Golden Boy is now looking at a big money rematch with Floyd Mayweather in September. Their first bout that broke all PPV records last May in Las Vegas. Golden Boy Promotions’ CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN that the bout is “almost finalized” for September 13 or September 20. 2008. However, unlike the first fight, the fight will be contracted for 147 lbs. or the welterweight limit. The first fight was contracted at light middleweight or 154 lbs and de la Hoya’s WBC junior middleweight title was on the line. This time however, Mayweather will come in as champion and defend his WBC/The Ring welterweight titles. De la Hoya’s last fight against Stephen Forbes (33-6) was on May 3 with Floyd’s father: Floyd Mayweather, Sr. as his trainer. De La Hoya (39-5, 30 KOs) dominated and won a unanimous decision over Forbes, winning decisively - 119-109, 119-109 and 120-108.

Oooooh.. This is something I’m really itching for. I will do all my best to get those De La Hoya vs Mayweather tickets and cheer for my favorite who is <secret>. haha! I will be writing about him soon which my readers should watch out for. Good luck to both of them and may the best boxer win!

I am sure the world is excited for this match! Go and get yourself a ticket (just click on the bluelink in this article) w00t!

Mckhoii’s Test-Taking Techniques for the Nursing Board Exam [NLE]05.26.08

StrategyAs I promised, here are the most awaited Test-Taking Techniques. I would like to thank my friends who helped me formulate these techniques. I would also like to thank Sir Mark[my boss] of SLRC and those students who share the same love to nursing. Keep Reviewing guys… I know you’ll make it!

FIrst, I would like to repeat what I have said that knowledge is more important than the strategies but having both knowledge and strategy will give you an edge to pass, or even top (I don’t see why not?), the effin Nursing Licensure Examination.

1. Almost all of the questions of the board examination are new so don’t expect that you will be bumping into one like in your mock/sample examinations. That’s bullshit thinking. But take note that the question still revolves in the same concept - NURSING and NURSING only! THe members of the BON are very creative in the making of the questions so you should also have to know how to think like them in order to get a good score but I am guessing that it is going to be hard to do that. (I wonder why.. Buhahaha)

2. Too much anxiety will destroy you but mild anxiety will help. Just enjoy the examination. Why not think that amongst the thousands who took, you are the only one who actually enjoyed, instead of feared, the exam?

3. Use the technique of ELIMINATION. Identify distractors… It takes practicing tes-questions in order to master this skill.

10 Crazy Test-taking Strategies for the NLE that are Effective!05.26.08

Crazy Dog Scratchin TechniqueYep, here they are. the awaited Crazy strategies. Haha! Yep they sound crazy but are most likely effective and will lead you to the correct answer. Caution: use these crazy techniques if you do not have any string of idea of what the question is all about. Here they are.. enjoy!

1. “always”, “never” or “all” are generalizations… so options with these words are automatically wrong because Nursing is a dynamic concept and it has a lot of EPIKIA (exemptions to the rules) so definite statements are wrong.

2. The longest answer is the correct answer. Well, you can testify to this strategy’s effectiveness. Haha!

3. If it involves values/numbers/rates/amount/weight/etc, just eliminate the highest and the lowest options then choose from the two that is left. Now you have 50% chance of getting to the right answer.

4. All of the above is correct. I don’t have to explain this.

5. Weird options that you’ve never heard are usually the correct answers.

6. The option with that speaks or represents the rest of the options is the correct answer. This is the umbrella phenomenon.

8. 2 similar options are wrong and must be eliminated.

9. Options that has the same word used in the question or has the same idea/phrase i likely the correct answer.

10. If you experience shutdown… choose letter “C”. Amongst the 4 options, it is the only option with the most correct answers as tallied from the previous board examinations. Thus, choosing this option gives you a higher probability of having chosen the right answer.

Risky? Yes… so open a book and study now!

Brazilian Sugar for the Sweet Toothed!05.20.08

Okay Okay so I love sweets… is it a crime? Hell No! Haha! Now, I just heard this stuff about Brazilian Sugar and i am intrugued on how it taste. Of course, I have to wait for days before I can order some of those sugar from Brazil so I guess I’ll have to discover its taste by knowing how it is produced. I encourage my readers to join me figure out how the Brazilian Sugar is produced.. Yum Yum!

Brazil is the world’s largest producer of sugarcane, sugar, and fuel alcohol and one of the most cost efficient producers of sugar. It is also the leading exporter of sugar. Sugar accounts for about 2 percent of the country’s gross national product, 17 percent of the country’s agricultural product, and employs over one million people. Sugar is the eleventh leading export item following generic categories such as vehicles, aircraft, machinery, iron and steel.
Brazil’s sugar industry is closely interconnected to the to the fuel alcohol industry. During the last few years about 50 percent of the sugarcane output was used to produce fuel alcohol and the remaining 50 percent was used to produce sugar. The large area devoted to sugarcane production is due to several factors such as; its favorable returns relative to competing crops, the availability of under-used land that may be planted to cane, expansion programs by mills to increase output, elimination of export taxes, low land prices, and partial harvesting mechanization. Sugarcane has replaced citrus and pasture areas in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil’s leading sugarcane producing state. According to Agricampus, a Brazilian Research Company, the investment to plant one hectare of sugarcane ($855) is approximately 73 and 36 percent lower than investments required to plant one hectare of citrus ($2,789) and pasture ($1,172), respectively. In addition, sugarcane profit margins assessed through historical prices are 7.31 percent compared to 6.01 percent for citrus and 3.27 percent for pasture.

How then is it produced?

Sugarcane production began to increase during the late 1970’s in response to the artificially created demand for alcohol. The demand for alcohol is the result of several aspects of the government’s ethanol program. A central part of the ethanol policy is the mandatory blending of ethanol with gasoline. The government sets the blending rate, bans the use of diesel powered personal vehicles, requires government agencies to buy 100 percent ethanol powered vehicles, offers storage credits to millers, maintains a differential tax break favoring ethanol over gasoline, and finally ensures that imports do not disrupt the domestic program by maintaining a 21.5 percent duty on imports which may only enter under license. At the inception of the ethanol program the government fixed the price f gasoline so that it was higher than the price for ethanol. Although this program no longer exists it helped build ethanol demand.
