Preparation is Essential in passing the Examination
Almost all nursing schools in the Philippines administer PRC/NLE practice exam manage by a certain review center or the school administration itself before students are allowed to graduate to help prepare them for the coming licensure examination
There are many options for preparing yourself for the exam:
- Study guides and prep courses that are offered through the internet (promdinurses and nclexpinoy) belong to this category, books, and e-books
- Group study with colleagues or classmates
- Review centers and other same institution
- Or self-review
When the time comes that you must start your proper review, you must practice the following:
1. Listen to classical music while reviewing. Music can relax your mind. You can make your study with a relaxing environment by listening to classical music as a background.
2. Put yourself to a quiet and comfortable place where no one can distract you. This method really helps in retaining important information..
3. Try to go to bed early and wake-up early in the morning to study. But before that, eat your breakfast so that you have sufficient glucose needed by the brain (more than 20% of our body's energy is consumed by the brain).
4. After studying a bit, try to relax; take a break or walk.
5. In answering the questions in your practice test or even in the actual exam, try to pick out the key words (words such as: essential, most important, best, least, priority, least-priority etc) and answer what the question is asking for.
6. Memorize the FIVE RIGHTS OF MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION and remember that there is a doctor's order in every medication so calling the physician is not a priority.
7. Always apply therapeutic communication.
8. Remember the nursing process, assessment is a priority (always the correct answer). Use also the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs in determining the best answers.
9. Words such as MUST, ALWAYS, EVERY are definite words and always leads you to wrong answers (this words are correct choices if the question is asking for the least priority).
10. Always try to chop the answers to two options so that you can have a 50/50 chance of getting the right answer.
11. Re-read the question and look for PART OF THE QUESTION IN THE ANSWER, that is the right choice.
12. Base you answers to textbooks not on your clinical experiences.
13. If you do not know the answer, do not answer with a WILD GUESS, decide with an EDUCATED GUESS.
