The License is Mine!

The Nurse Licensure Examination for June 2009 is fast approaching. All our students are already on the level of moderate anxiety. Some of them are already having asthma attacks, and unfortunately, some who has a history of psoriasis are beginning to have exacerbations due to stress. They have a week more to get prepared and put everything in order.
There are more or less 78,000 nursing students who will be taking the June 2009 NLE. About 44,000 of those students come from Manila, 11,000 from Baguio, and 6,000 from Cebu City, and the remaining 17,000 goes to the rest of the country. And as usual, it is expected that out of the 78,000 examinees, merely half of them will be rejoicing when the result comes out. Optimistically, we suppose that all our students will be part of those rejoicing. It’s never too late. One whole week is still a lot of time to warm up and get ready, if not mentally, at least psychologically and spiritually. So brace yourselves future RN’s!

NLE Review Countdown

Ten more days and it’s already the June 2009 Nurse Licensure Examination. As early as now, we are already declaring that our students will soon be our colleagues in the nursing profession. This is our means of promoting positive outlook to our students. We uphold positive reinforcement. We believe that it is a better way of encouraging our students to give their best and make it to the passers' list. Through this, the would-be Registered Nurses’ confidence and spirits are uplifted and they are motivated to knock their fears off. Stress and anxiety are two of the biggest reasons why some students unexpectedly fall short of their board exam. They may be equipped with knowledge, but in most cases, they experience the so-called ‘mental block’ during the exam, which causes them to panic and eventually lose their confidence that they can pass the exam. It’s just like everything they have learned for the past few months of review went down the drain. That’s why keeping them posted how many days to go rings a bell to them of how well they are prepared for the boards, and that their preparation is geared towards taking hold of their license and not towards allowing fear to get in the way and let their chance slip away. The theme ‘It’s Raining License’ speaks of the countless opportunities ahead of them, the myriad of promising career that awaits them.
Our students also look forward to the last day of our review which is our Grand Final Coaching. Here, we just have fun, fun, fun. We prop our students in flaunting their talents. We have shows like Ms. Macho Gay, where in the contestants are certified males, videoke sing-along, dance performances per school, bidding of showcases, awarding of our top ten students, and mass. Stress debriefing activities like these are meant to alleviate the tension that they have been dealing with for months. We also do this to reward them from their hard work and perseverance. And as recommended, before taking any exam, let’s put our feet up, have a break, and take it easy! Believe…

Revived

Finally, I’m back! After a long time of silence, I’m here again extending my upcoming days’ events, and more. My hectic days are over. I have been studying for our review center’s rationalization on different exams because The Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination is just around the corner. Seventeen days to go and hopefully, all our students are going to be Registered Nurses then. This is what has kept me busy for weeks. We had to ensure quality review for our beloved students for them to be able to grab their license.

Anyway, as I have vowed before, regardless of how busy I become, I’m gonna keep on blogging. See you around!
