Course Syllabus/Outline for Nursing Licensure Exam (NLE)
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009In my review class today, our concept is about professional adjustment. Our reviewer told us that to be able to pass the board exam, the trick is to know the specialization of the Board of Nursing because from that, you will know on where to focus in the review. He showed us the pictures of the current Board of Nursing and their specializations at the same time, he discussed their qualifications and how they made it to their positions (one of the sub-topic in Professional Adjustment).
Our reviewer told us to visit the website of the Board of Nursing and download the course outline/syllabus of the Nursing Licensure Exam. Less do people know that there is such thing. As I visit the site, I noticed that from the thousands of people who will be taking the Nursing Board Exam, there are only 1000 hits in that particular downloadable file.
I would also like to share it with you and I hope that this will help you in passing the Nursing Board Exam and not only to pass but to top it.
Good Luck and God Bless!!!

Malapit na ang katapusan…
Friday, March 27th, 2009Unti-unti ko nang nararamdaman ang katapusan…
Naunang naranasan ang last day sa apat na sulok ng isang classroom sa LB…
Pangalawa ang katapusan ng pagduduty bilang student nars sa pasilidad ng Ospital ng Maynila…
Ginugol ng maraming oras, pera, pawis, pagod, puyat at dugo sa paggawa ng isang thesis na ilang beses iyak ng dugo sa dami ng mali…
Isama mo na ang pagtaasan ng kilay, tagisan ng talino at di paguunawaan sa grupo…
Sa wakas, natapos na din ang nakakatusta ng neurons na Nursing Research…
Nalagpasan ang intracranial hemorrhage na defense at nagBT (Blood Transfusion) pagkatapos…
Hindi nagtagal, sa dinamidami ng mga nagreklamo dahil sa dami ng minus sa pagchecheck ng scantron machine, matapos ang tatlong nakakataas ng ICP (Intracranial Pressure) na pagsusulit, natapos na din ang Nursing Audit…
Madaming nalungkot, nabwisit, nadismaya at na-High Blood sa naging resulta nito…
Pero madami din ang parang naka-Amphetamine sa tuwa dahil naihulog na nila ang napakabigat na bola ng Victometer… Infairness, naka60% tayo don mga kapatid. Ang hirap kaya….
Isama mo na din ang Pre-Board na kahit hindi kasama sa grades ay tiyak na magkakaroon ka ng Body Malaise…
Natapos na ang final coaching… (kahit na nauna ang pre-board hehehe)
Isabay mo na ang huling party sa FEU Quadrangle na tinatawag na IN Send Off Party ’09…
Maraming naka-metallic na damit, madaming flash ng camera, madaming maniningning na mga ngiti…
Pero sa loob loob ng bawat isa… “Hay, huli na ito… gagraduate na tayo…”
Sa loob loob ko… “Syet, UNEMPLOYED nako. hahahah!”
Nakakapangilabot…
Pero ang pinakanakakakilabot sa lahat ay ang….
HABA NG PILA SA IN-FACULTY ROOM…
Haaayyyy….
Hindi tuloy ako nasasabik sa graduation o pinning…
Ito na lang ang huling iniintindi ko…
at
Malamang kayo din…
Galingan natin mga kapatid…
Matatapos din to…
GOOD LUCK…:]]

Status Symbols in FEU-Institute of Nursing (littlenars’ view)
Monday, December 29th, 2008What are status symbols?
It is something that make you distinct from any other. It is like when you have it, you belong to that certain group. It is an identity for a certain group of people whether it is your profession, organization, school, etc…
In simpler term it’s what makes you say “Ahhh… ganito yan… ahhhh… ganito siya…” . One concrete example is “Ahh… emo yan!” hahaha!
B.S Nursing has this status symbol with them depending on their batch…
As far as I know, FEU-Institute of Nursing has its own also:
1. IN patch
When I was on my 1st year, we were on enrolled with OGEC (I forgot what it means, all I know is it’s a general curriculum implemented when I was in first year) so I am a nursing student but I don’t have the IN patch. I was jealous back then to my ates and kuyas who were 3rd-4th year. Then, when I was in 2nd year, I was wearing my AHSE patch and still jealous, now that I am on my level IV, I am proud to be wearing my IN patch. In FEU, it’s like you are not considered a “real” nursing student because of the patch. LOL!
Now, with the new curriculum, Level I are now wearing the IN patch and our batch was like “ANG DAYA” anyway, the still have to go through battery exam too (that’s fair enough).
Just an update, some change their patch so that they could violate some of the IN rules and not getting caught. LOL!
2. CHN Bag (Community Health Nursing Bag) AKA PHN bag and OB Bag (Tool Box during duties)
When I was in Level II, I am so excited on carrying this bag. In fact, when I start carrying this bag, my family and friends also started to call me “Little Nurse”. However, when I am carrying this bag, it comes with the word “TOXICITY” because that time, we were bombarded with the dreaded return demonstrations and community organizing activities (not to mention the big and long black umbrella we are required to bring to fight stray dogs.. pfft.). We are also obliged to carry it waist level.
Up until now, I bring my CHN bag during community duties and other field nursing exposures. The funny part there was during community, we place our baons inside it, which is a MORTAL sin. Bwahaha!
Our CHN bag is old-fashioned and I envy the CHN bag now where I can see the first and 2nd year students are now using. It’s like a buddy bag with an FEU logo and you don’t need to carry it waist level all the time.
When you go to 3rd year, you may notice that the bag students are carrying are not bags anymore, rather, it is a plastic transparent tool box which contains paraphernalia for hospital use. It’s cute and handy with different colors. I wish I had those but I haven’t (usually, this bag is for group use already…LOL!)
3. Clinical Uniform
In FEU, you are only allowed to where this uniform if you are already a 3rd year student and so it’s a BIG deal if you are wearing one. (Plus the fact that the lower years are looking at you with amazement. LOL!)
It’s not easy wearing an all white uniform, you need to bun your hair and wear your nursing cap but then again, not only you look good wearing this uniform (for years that I’ve been observing, guys who wear clinical uniforms have this” x-factor” as compared to just wearing their campus uniform…LOL!) but it gives you pleasure— “ANGAS” as I may say.
4. IN Lanyard (ID Tag)
What separates FEU-Institute of Nursing from FEU’s other courses is that we have our own lanyard. I believe this rooted from the FIFA Lanyards almost everyone was wearing a year ago. Then, came the “Unibersidad” Lanyards. (Actually, I bought one) and then now, lanyards from different colleges of each universities.
It is limited edition and mostly (as from what I observed), it is worn by Level III and IV students as well as the faculties of the Institute of Nursing.
5. Name Plate
When I was in 1st year, I am so excited to have my name plate because it gives you distinction that you are a nursing student. In FEU, the first time you will have your name plate is when you are in your 2nd year .But with the new curriculum, I don’t know if 1st years already have their nameplates (I bet none as from what I can see…)
You will only have to change colors of nameplates twice, during 2nd and 3rd year. You will use that until you graduate so you take good care of it.
The colors of the nameplate depends on the previous batch “MANA-MANA” as we would say. I have always wanted a nameplate, which is colored green as the background and gold for the text however, our batch got the Silver background and Blue text and during our 2nd year, we got the black background and silver text, which the present 2nd years are now using.
Just an update, now, I rarely use my nameplate. LOL!
The newest addition to it is the…
Nursing Audit Logbook (with 3-5-90 at the cover page)
Why? This means that you are a 4th year and studying for the board exam. Plus the fact that you designed your own as to how you are going to be inspired and motivated no matter how that is. LOL! Most of us just carry this because no bag could fit to it. pffft. LOL!
P.S I always bring with me my logbook though I am not reading it, it makes me feel I have rlready reviewed for my exams. LOL!
These are just based on my observations. No offense to others…
PEACE!!!
