How Phrylyn Balanced Motherhood, Hospital Work, and Studying to Pass the NCLEX

How did you use NCLEX Bootcamp to prepare for the NCLEX?

I purchased the 2 Month subscription in July because my exam was scheduled for September. I followed the daily exercises / exams NCLEX Bootcamp provided. I also made use of the Cheat Sheets ,specially in the areas that I didn't really understand. I also made sure to read all the rationales for every question that I encountered, even when I got it right. Bootcamp boosted my confidence in answering questions and case studies during my exam because it really mimics the actual NCLEX exam.

What did you struggle with most while you were studying for the NCLEX?

As a mother of two and working in a government setting hospital here in the Philippines, taking the NCLEX was the biggest challenge for me. My journey has never been easy; I need to juggle and balance my time in my workplace, my family and my review time. I always made sure that I followed the daily schedule in NCLEX Bootcamp, sometimes I answered questions in advance if I still had more time, answered the daily question of the day and made sure to finish all of the 4 Readiness Exams. I'm truly grateful to NCLEX Bootcamp for being one of the biggest parts of my NCLEX journey.

What is one piece of advice you would give to another student preparing to take the NCLEX?

To all the aspiring student who are also preparing to take the NCLEX, keep dreaming and believing in yourself that you can do it. Put GOD in the center of your life. Surrender everything to him and pray harder. I know the journey is overwhelming and sometimes hard. There will be days when you question yourself, feel exhausted, or think that you are not ready. I've been there too. Trust the process, study consistently and understand all the rationale behind every question. Most of all, learn to prioritize and think of being a safety and efficient nurse. You can do it, keep going and never give up on your dream future USRN's.
