Tips para sa mga nagre-review para sa upcoming Nursing Licensure Exam this

July and December 2011.

1. Hanggat maaari at kaya mo, tumapos ng mga libro. Basahin cover to cover.
Pero hindi naman yung libro ni Brunner. Yung mga tipong Medical-Surgical Nursing ni
Udan or yung kanyang Fundamentals of Nursing. Basahin din ang Community Health
Nursing ng DOH bagamat sa lahat ng libro, ito ang pinaka-nakakaantok. Nakakatulong
kase ang pagbabasa sa pagbi-build up ng confidence mo.

*And always have a notebook and a pencil so that while you are reading, you can jot
down the important things. Keywords lang ang isulat mo. Dont copy the whole page.
Studies show that writing what you do not want to forget helps you retain that
information in your brain more.

*Also, dont leave something you read not understood. Always understand what youre
reading. DO. NOT. MEMORIZE. It is impossible to place every information inside your
brain, retain them, and recall them during the exam. Ano ka God? You will forget
majority of what you memorized on the exam day. But dont get discouraged. If you
understood everything you read, maaalala mo na lang bigla yung inaral mo once na-
encounter mo siya sa exam.

*Three weeks to one month prior to exam date, dapat hindi ka na nagbabasa ng review.
Dapat previous board exam questions na ang kinakalaban mo. Para masanay ka na.




5. Kung saan ka mahina, dun ka mag-focus.
Lets say mahina ka sa Community Health Nursing (parang ako), then focus your
studies on it. Mahilig ang Board of Nursing sa CHN promise.

*Pero halimbawang magaling ka sa MS, hindi ibig sabihin nun na di mo na yun aaralin.
Aralin mo pa rin no. Pero skim skim na lang.
6. Magkaron ka ng schedule para sa review time mo. Make a calendar.
Halimbawa:
June 01 MS: Endocrine System
June 02 CDN: Gastrointestinal Diseases
*Depende yan sa kung paanong trip mo sa pag-aaral.

*Mag-assign ka rin ng oras sa pag-rereview. Dont spend the whole 24 hours of the day
reviewing. Sa tingin ko, eight to twelve hours of review will do. The rest should be spent
in resting, recreation and sleeping.
