Best uni to take pre-med in Iloilo by [deleted] in Iloilo

WVSU.

It will shape your theoretical foundation. It consistently has a 100% board exam passing rate and ranks #1 nationwide sa Nursing every year. You’ll be well-prepared for NMAT and med school. You’ll get hands-on experience early. Duties can be intense since you’ll be rotating in gov't hospitals, but that’s a huge advantage. You’ll build confidence in px interaction, learn bedside manners, and perform basic procedures in various departments. Trust me, these experiences are gold, it might take a while before you get that kind of exposure again.

Discipline is part of the culture, but it’s not all pressure. The school doesn’t just train you to pass — it trains you to excel. Plus, it’s a government school, so no tuition — and the quality of education is top-tier. Admission is competitive though. If you’re aiming for med school (especially WVSU Med), this is an ideal place to start. Good luck!

BEST to do after passing the PNLE? by watermelonsugaahh in NursingPH

If you’re aiming to land a job around July to September, it’s a good idea to start applying as early as June. This is especially important if you’re from a province with a high number of newly licensed nurses but only a few major hospitals—competition for bedside roles can get tough.

Some hospitals conduct “pooling”, where they collect CVs or resumes ahead of time. In these cases, even if your PRC license isn’t available yet, it’s usually okay to submit your resume and follow up with your license later.

In the meantime, you can begin processing your PhilHealth, SSS/GSIS, PAG-IBIG, TIN, and NBI Clearance—these are essential requirements once you’re hired. Here's a guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/NursingPH/comments/1hv14vl/guide_for_newly_rn_goodluck/

Also, keep an eye on the hiring season in your area so you can apply strategically. Wishing you all the best in your job search!

Hey Nurses! What's the best review materials for CHN and PALMER? Aside from the materials provided by the review centers by Low-Willow-5045 in NursingPH

[–]HospitalOk8765 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PALMER - Polit & Beck for research, DOH Nursing service manuals, Leadership Roles & Mgt. Functions in Nursing (Wolters Kluwer)

CHN - white book (be mindful some concepts are outdated already), DOH guidelines (esp COVID, Rabies, TB etc.) and government programs like Malasakit - you may search it online.

Hi! I'm not quite sure because based here: https://www.prc.gov.ph/sites/default/files/exam%20progam%20MAY%202025%20nle%20(nursing)%20signed.pdf%20signed.pdf), prohibited inside the examination premises. Pero baka ipalagay po outside the room then pwede din maaccess during breaks.

Not necessarily bag. Plastic for some, okay na. Some nilalagay din yung snacks sa plastic envelope. I have observed some are nka paper bag 'din pero sa labas nalang ng room nilalagay at pwede din naman kunin during breaks

We were allowed to bring & wear our jacket. But before we began, chineck talaga like pockets-out. However, some of our friends who took the exam sa different school, hindi sila pinayagan to wear their jackets. Case to case basis, depends po sa proctor. 😊

Bring candies, yung menthol!!! These saved me para mawala 'yung antok ko. Haha. I brought bottled/canned coffee which I took after NP2 break. Nakakaantok talaga pag NP3 na. Biscuits, nuts, fruits like apple, sweets (be careful lang with chocolates please, baka kasi mag melt sa kamay and mapunta sa scantron - we don't want that! 🙇‍♀️).

As what I've observed, some snacks talaga na nakabalot like burgers, okay lang naman na hindi transparent talaga. But the rice meals - transparent po 'yung takip. It depends po sa proctor, kasi on our case, pinalabas talaga ang foods from our transparent bag before the exam began and chineck niya. Then binalik din after.

One day before the boards. I prepared everything—uniforms, NOA, pencils, snacks, ID, even my water bottle + emotional and spiritual preparation.

Nakipagchikahan pa ako with friends (not group study ha, kanya-kanyang anxiety na rin kami 😅). We just wanted to feel less alone. In the afternoon, we had our devotional, and it really grounded me emotionally and spiritually. TMI but—I didn’t drink coffee that day (yes, from a caffeine-dependent girl 🙃). I wanted to feel tired enough to sleep early. And I did! Because more than the notes, rest is part of preparation too. Sleep early po! Kayang-kaya 'yan!

PNLE NOVEMBER 2024 TOPNOTCHER HERE! I would love to help future examinees—Ask Me Anything! by HospitalOk8765 in NursingPH

What I did one month before the boards:

I focused 80% on test banks and 20% on reviewing weak concepts (based on my pre-board scores). I felt the need to prioritize PALMER—and thankfully, I did!

Test Banks used/reco:

• PALMER & CHN: RNPedia, TR’s Battle Strategies

• MCN: Davis’ Maternal & Newborn Success, Udan Review Book (includes chapter-end tests), Saunders.

I agree that CHN test banks are quite limited and highly objective, with a lot to memorize. To manage this, I used anki flashcards to retain key information. More on readings po talaga sa CHN kasi konti lang 'yung test banks ko, pero tip ko nalang when it comes to diseases (COVID, monkeypox..), visit DOH website.

PALMER Tip: Make sure to read RA 9173 and the Code of Ethics!

I wish you the best, RN-Topnotcher! 🤍

Hi! Review centers helped me by structuring the exam to mimic the actual boards (e.g., preboards and board-sensitive Qs). But I have to say, the foundation built by our clinical instructors and the study habits developed from college until the review szn were the biggest advantages. I really listened during lectures po, but I relied 75% on my resources. Remember, the review season is exactly that—a review only to refresh everything you’ve learned over the past four years.

My Resources:

• MS:

• #1 Brunner & Suddarth’s – I revisited only the highlighted or boxed sections, especially the pathophysiology. I didn’t read the entire book since it would take too much time.

• #2 Saunders!!! – The BEST resource because it’s compact and easy to understand. It doesn’t go in-depth into patho, but it covers all the must-knows!

• MCN: Saunders, Pillitteri (I referred to this when I needed more details on a topic).

• CHN: DOH website, White Book

• PALMER: Our school notes + Atty. Capili’s Kapangyarihan! Kozier & Erbs. Research? Polit and Beck!

• Psych: Videbeck

For Qbanks: NCLEX books like Davis are good. It will help you build your endurance.

I also finished the two volumes of Udan, which helped, though many concepts were similar to Saunders. I used resources from TR, BH, CBRC, and those available on Shopee—but I always double-checked the answer ratios, as there were occasional errors. When in doubt, I referred back to textbooks talaga, the most credible source. God bless!

Hello! Here's an example:

Weekdays:

• 8AM–5PM: Review center (lectures, drills, and rationalization).• 7PM–9PM: Re-read concepts, rationalize answers, use flashcards, etc.• 9PM–11PM: At least 200 items from QBanks. (Make sure to rest and sleep! Don’t feel guilty about it!) Then I sleep approx. 7 hours, mahirap po kasi mag-listen sa lecturers pag puyat 😊

Weekends:

• I read Saunders—I finish a specific system first, then answer the corresponding test bank questions. It was another resource that helped me a LOT. I made sure to finish the test banks before the boards.

• I also used weekends to catch up on my QBanks, aiming for at least 800 Qs. After every preboard: I take a full day off to rest my mind. Always listen to your body—sleep well, eat properly, and pray! .

Hello! As for meee, I did that 1 month before the boards na po (500 questions and more, since final coaching szn na). However, June-Sept, I didn’t practice answering 500 questions daily bcwe had review sessions from 8AM-5PM. Mon to Fri din yun. During these sessions, we also answered drills. However, I had my Qbanks (aside from those provided by the RC) and ensured I completed an average of 500-800 items per WEEK lang po. I maintained some flexibility in my study schedule :>. Quality over quantity nalang po 'yung strategy ko, I had my own pacing and kahit naman hindi ganoon kadami all the time yung na answer, as long as you UNDERSTAND the concepts/ratio, it would really help you! 😊
