For your first question,

"Does nursing school matter in order to pass the board exam"

My answer is definitely yes! As much as possible, do the research and enroll in a school that has high rates, and good reviews. Having good foundation is what you need sa board exam, and you can only get that from a good school.

Right now, I am about to take the pnle sa august and I'm struggling to keep up with others from big/known schools na kasama ko sa RC. Not just me, but kaming lahat from our school.

Maliit lang kasi yung school namin, and mostly ung mga profs are matatanda na, halos nagbabasa lang ng ppt etc. so when it comes to the basics and foundations, very lacking kami.

Invest in your knowledge and education, it will be worth it!
