So HAPPY.. I PASSED! LVN and RN-NCLEX exam

I'm so grateful I passed my exam. Well, it's not over yet... I'm actually just starting. Yep I am. I still have so many things to accomplish after passing both of my exam. Iv'e heard job hunting is harder.

I would like to share what I did before the exams. I'm not the type of person who's good in guessing nor having wild educated guess. Every question seems right. My only tip is you have to be specific in answering.. that's why you have to read and/or watch as much as you can. Answer questions as many as possible, be with positive people, know your content, and be FOCUSED.

First thing I did was to accept that I could't do this on my own. I couldn't just sit, read and understand a book (I'm not a bookish kind of person). I failed once and I knew I needed a way for me to master my content. I couldn't just guess the answers. It's great to know that you are sure of the answers while you're in the exam room ( this is it room). I have to decide which review center suits my needs and the most worth it. I have considered a lot of review centers at first. I googled their reviews for a couple of weeks, different review centers and what people say about them. There are review centers who concentrates on answering questions online, there are who do  one-on-one over the phone, there are live review centers around your area, there are online who focuses on the content online. So it depends on your weakness and budget. Only you can decide what you need. I asked few people in a nursing forum/group who just recently passed. They were so helpful. I guess it depends on what kind of person you are. There will be times that you will feel alone. You have to be strong! I guess I needed a mentor who believes I can do great things. Someone who believes in me. Someone who understands me and accepts me for being truly me. I needed to motivate myself to keep me going cuz sometimes I'm feeling so down like you can't breath anymore and you needed a break. But we just have to do this one thing that I don't even know if it's worth it. Yes, I  needed a stranger to tell me that it's possible for me to pass. I needed a stranger to boost my confidence. Someone who believes with me that anything is possible:) All we need is that one person who believes in us. It does not have to be a family or a friend. 

I just realized one thing that I would like to share with you, that I, alone, can believe in me. I can secure myself. Breath deeply. Always remember that God loves us and will love us unconditionally. Everything will be alright. Just have faith❤️
