Nursing Board Takers Readies for Upcoming Licensure Exam
Thousands of nursing graduates will take another step in
obtaining their dreams to fully become a certified nurse as they take the
year’s end licensure examination for nurses.
The schedule for the licensure examination for nurses is
on November 29 to 30 2009 in Manila and all
regional offices across the Philippines.
The Philippine Regulation Commission is now fully prepared
for the upcoming examination to be held in different elementary and secondary
schools in the country.
Board takers are asked to be prepared as this early to
avoid cramming and last minute preparation. Here are some tips that would help
you avoid stress before and on your examination date:
Make
sure that you know the exact location of your designated place of
examination to avoid getting lost.
Make
sure that you know your schedule.
Have
time to relax. As much as possible, give yourself a time to refresh your
mind.
Reviewing
the day or night before the exam won’t help; it would just rattle you and
stress you out. Review your materials or manuals early to help you get the
relaxation that you need.
Prepare
the things that you need ahead of time. Make sure that you bring your pen,
2 pieces of number 2 pencils, a piece of paper, your school ID and the
documents that you need to present to the proctor.
Prepare
your clothes ahead of time. Ask your school on what proper clothes to
wear. Some school would suggest wearing school uniforms so make sure that
you washed and iron your clothes ahead of time.
Have
a long peaceful sleep. Pardon yourself from partying or texting the night
before your examination date, instead sleep early to give you fresh mind
and positive energy.
Lack of preparation is one of the factors why some
examiners failed due to time cracking and stress.
Last June 2009, 77,901 nursing graduates took the
licensure examination. However, only 32,617 passed to get a professional
license from the PRC.
The PRC is hoping that the number of passers would
increase as nursing students nowadays were given a more comprehensive review
sessions and materials.
