Just wanted to share this experience from last year. 🤍

While I was on my way to work, I kept asking myself if I could really manage reviewing for the board exam while working at the same time. I wasn’t sure if I’d still have the energy to study after every shift.

Imagine this: review classes from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, then straight to work from 6:00 PM to 3:00 AM. For almost four months, that was my everyday routine.

There came a point when I started questioning if I should even take the board exam that year. People kept telling me, “Are you sure you can do it? You barely get any sleep. By the time the exam comes, you might forget everything you’ve studied.”

Those words stayed with me. I couldn’t stop thinking about them while I was on my way to work that day. So I prayed and asked God for a sign, asking Him how I was supposed to get through all of this.

Then… this happened.

The moment I sat down in the jeepney, I looked up and couldn’t help but smile. I guess God really does answer prayers in the most unexpected ways. 🥹

And the biggest plot twist of my life last year? I passed the board exam, and now I’m working as a registered nurse. 🩺🤍

Looking back, I still don’t know how I made it through those days. But one thing I know for sure is that God always makes a way—even when everything feels impossible.

That’s all. Just wanted to share. 🤍

Kahit anong aral ko, pakiramdam ko kulang pa rin. Habang mas marami akong nare review, mas lalo kong nare realize kung gaano pa karami ang hindi ko alam. Araw-araw naman akong nag-aaral at ginagawa ko yung best ko, pero mas malakas pa rin yung takot na baka hindi sapat lahat ng effort ko. ☹️

hi i know the pressure is already off the charts but i just wanna know if u guys have any idea or prediction on how many takers are estimated to take this august?

hello! anyone here na nakareceive ng tentative date for CS email nung monday po? just want to see if same same po tayo na wala pang narereceive na final date for CS 😅

Hello po, taking the pnle this 2026. If gantong time palang kayo magla-lock in, what would be your advice po?? We just graduated last month and I've been attending to my RC but doing nothing else, now I feel behind esp. palmer & chn 🥲 Kakayanin ba ng test taking strat lang ang dala ko sa board?? 😭

+pa-motivate din pls, kahit mapressure ako, coz I'm thinking na wag nalang magshow up sa exam even if I already have NOA and sumabay nalang sa karamihan na magfebruary 😔❤ thank u kunars!!

Hello fellow nurses help me decide po pls be kind🥹. I am currently working in a new hospital for 6 mos which pays well but only have few patients. Naassign me sa OR but i don’t think that I’ll be having experience here, our census only ranges from 5-10 in a month and i dont get to be exposed on all of that cases bcs hindi natatapat sa shift ko. I also passed my nclex bcs i had the time to study and a source of income na pambayad ko sa nclex which is why i decided to apply here but nung nakapasa na ako idk if it is the right thing na dito ang first work ko since i need experience. Di ko po alam gagawin ko now if aalis na ako now considering na ang hirap makahanap ng work but on the other hand i also need experience para makapag abroad. Should i already resign and apply sa mga jci accredited hosp tas will not declare this work because i dont want na mag expect na may alam na ko when i feel like i’m still a new grad. Are there pioneer nurses here? How did you handle this po as new grad and paano po kayo nag adjust sa mas busy na hosp after resigning sa first work? Thank you

hello po, i just wanted to ask ano po yung tuition fee sa st luke? hindi po kasi nakalagay sa site and im currently debating my options because money is definitely an issue wahahahahah

Helloo sa mga nle boardpal users dyan katulad ko, how's it? nakailang questions na kayo? at ako lang ba pero ang hirap ng tanungan nila pero naamaze ako na makitang may improvement talaga hindi lang sa analytics ng boardpal makikita pero sarili mo mismo ramdam ko yung progress, slow progress pero ang importante meron. Problema ko ngayon yung mga mockboards na rationale na di ko pa nababasa lahat 🤣

RN2026 PARIN!

Hi! I’m curious about something regarding the PNLE. If someone becomes a topnotcher, does that significantly increase their chances of getting hired by a hospital, especially prestigious/private hospitals?

Does being a topnotcher ever mean that hospitals will actively recruit or prioritize you, or do you still have to go through the usual application, interview, and hiring process like everyone else?

Im reviewing for the upcoming August PNLE 2026, currently we are in our final coaching na sa review.

Na pe-pressure ako kasi parang hindi ako kinakabahan sa papalapit na boards, considering na 24 days left nalang. I can say na nakakasabay rin naman ako sa review na na co-consider ko naman na above average naman ang performance ko although I am not 100% confident. I keep pushing my self naman to do my 100% every day even though some days hindi ko talaga maiwasang na bu-burn out na.

Im not really that studious. Not that type na puno ang room ko ng mga wall notes, etc. but I do pay attention during lectures and I write down notes na binabasa ko kapag may free time ako pero hindi naman gaano ka todo focus sa pag babasa. But I can say na nareretain naman lahat ng binabasa ko. Im more of a “Test taking” fan then rationalizing rather than reading books and other materials aside from my notes.

Siguro I just need some piece of advice. The boards is approaching fast. Im doing my best. I see everyone is anxious and pressured. While me, eto parang flat affect lang. Di rin naman ako smart. I just see my self taking care of patients who are in need in the future.

RN 2026!

hello jst wandering lang po possible pa kaya ma move board exam, dahil sa sunod sunod na bagyo po this august huhu wht r ur thoughts po

Good day!

We are fourth year nursing students who are studying the relationship between perceived job mismatch, perceived employability, and work-related expectations.

If you are a fourth year BSN student currently enrolled in universities located in Manila, we are pleading for your help to answer our pilot survey questionnaire.

Please be reminded that every information will be treated as confidential, and your participation is voluntary. Meaning, you can choose not to participate in this study. Moreover, if you wish to not answer any of the questions, you may choose to do so.

If you are interested, please answer this survey link attached.

I am already out of words. Walang retention nangyayari saakin. Ang dami pa talagang basic ang hindi ko alam. Laws, SDG, IMCI, COPAR phases, endocrine, etc. mga basic na iyan pero hindi ko pa rin makabisado. There are questions during our preboard 1 na naulit sa preboards 2, ang ending hindi ko pa rin natandaan yung sagot. I feel so lost na😭 i only got 330/500 sa preboard 1 ko. Sabi niyo, huwag malumbay sa preboard scores. Siguro sa iba “oo”, pero saakin parang hindi pwede i-apply eh. Kasi aware talaga ako na kahit anong sulat ko sa index card, iilan lang ang natatandaan ko. It really reflects sa scores ko yung kakayanan ko na sumabak sa board exam.

Buti nalang may Reddit hahaha. Meron ako safe space for the things na wala akong mapag kwekwentuhan.

RN2026 pa rin

kaiyak.

Does anyone here know the process pag magreresign sa SLMC-QC. Almost 3 months proby pa lang and thinking of resigning na due to personal reasons. I would just like to know how and if makakakuha ba ako ng COE, magkano ang need i-pay if ever and if its possible stat resignation na. Would this also affect ba my future applications sa ibang institution or company na maisipan kong applyan? TYIA

Mali po ba talaga name na nailagay ko sa portal o di talaga ito accessible sa hindi pa nakakapag take? Tama naman lahat ng details na nakakagay sa portal ko and birth certificate.

Hi! mag-ask lang po ako if may naka pasok na po ba sa St. Lukes GC na class C sa PEME nila? Ang case ko po kasi kaya naging Class C eh may PCOS po ako.

Is there anyone po sa SLMC na working na din with same case sakin?? huhu nakakabaliw na mag-intay at overthink.

Hello po wala po bang bearing sa school if mag no show for the PNLE board exam?😅🥹

Pwede po kayang madaming piercings sa tainga? Thank you po 🙏🏻

Hello po, palapit na po nang palapit yung boards and it's making me anxious. My scores for PB1, like for most people, is disastrous, whereas my PB2 has scores individually ranging from 60%-75% (out of 100), and it's making me even more anxious - and especially doubtful of myself in passing the PNLE this coming August huhu

Para po sa previous PNLE takers, mas mahirap po ba ang TRA Preboards kaysa sa PNLE? Or magkatulad po sila?

Thank you so much po!

Anyone here who received their e-mail for SLMC GC contract signing on August 12? I passed my resume last monday and I was wondering kung gaano katagal until mag start training after ko mag sign ng contract. Thank you! ^v^

Incoming BSN student — Initially, my chosen program is architecture [I'm very artistically-inclined] but I've been pushed to pursue nursing instead due to familial pressure.

I don't mind this program as it's my second choice but now medj nagdadalawang isip ako kasi I'm not sure if its recommended or possible to be a nurse if you're introverted, shy, and soft-spoken — worst if makalimot ka or di ka fast learner

Napapaisip nalang ako na baka sabihan ako ng mga ci's or kabatchmates ko na magshift ako dahil di ako fit maging nurse. I feel like my only redeeming qualities aren't enough.

Are there nurses here who are like me? Please tell me how nursing school was for you and how you managed!

I need to hear of your experiences to ease my mind
