hi miss xyla!

i just finished my nursing degree this october and as i have read your posts, i’ve learned that you were an RN. kasi po i’m about to take the board by next year and still reviewing up to now. my problem po kasi eh may mga times po na hindi maiiwasan na di tamarin sa pag-rereview and actually this thing is really happening to me right now. need ko lang po sana nga mga tips for me not to be lazy when it comes to my review. thanks po!

Hello Krish! In order for you to be motivated to study, you have to set a goal for yourself. Before I also got lazy in reviewing for the board exam but I told myself that if I let my laziness eat my dreams, then what would happen to my future?

Start from the most difficult concept to the easiest. Assess yourself. What nursing concept are you having a hard time with? Then focus on that first. Then, proceed to the next.

Writing your own reviewer can also help.

Last but not the least, before reviewing, pray and ask God to help you internalize all the things you’re going to read and review.

Wishing you loads of luck,

Xyla
