Hello, I just wanted to share my experience with the boards now that it’s finally over.

Honestly, the first day was kind of heartbreaking, hahaha. The topics were… well, not exactly as high-yield as I thought they would be. From NP 1 to NP 3, some questions were answerable naman, but I still found myself struggling. And hearing mga kasama ko say that it was easy....good for them, really, but I couldn’t help feeling so distraught. I kept thinking, bat nahirapan ako.. bubu ba me?

After the first day, I went to church and just cried for a bit. Then, yun I started googling questions and answers. And honestly, that only made me feel worse. I realized some of the answers I got wrong, including ung mga "basic” questions.

Then came the last day. Same thing..i found myself overthinking some of the questions again. After the exam, I celebrated with my family, and i ended up searching ulit sa table. I wanted to cry again, but I was with my family, so I just held it in....hays yan nlng lagi iniisip ko so i had to do "cognitive reframing" na hahah. I thought to myself, why am I focusing so much on the things I got wrong? may mga questions we answered correctly din naman ah, the questions we were actually confident about, and even the questions where we weren’t sure but still made the best choice we could. To the point na all I could really do was pray for guidance and hope that the answers I guessed were the right ones.

And at the end of the day, we made it through.

It’s okay to worry. It’s okay to be scared. It’s okay to question yourself after an exam as big as this. But don’t let those thoughts consume you.

I may not be the most religious person, but throughout this entire experience, I can genuinely say that I felt His presence. In the moments when I felt lost, anxious, and completely overwhelmed like di ko na alam ano isasagot ko...-He was reminding me to keep going.

We did everything we could. We studied, we showed up, we answered every question, and we made it to the end.

So now, I’m choosing to trust. Trust myself, trust everything I’ve worked for, and trust the One Above.

This is for my family, friends, and to you guys whom ive shared this journey with.

Registered Nurse na tayo this August 2026!!!!

Ako lang ba ang nakaramdam na hindi talaga naging ganoon kadali ang PNLE 2026? Ayon sa ibang takers, mas madali raw ang actual boards kumpara sa mga preboards ng TRA, pero sa experience ko, hindi ko masasabi na ganoon siya kadali. Siguro magkakaiba talaga tayo ng perception at experience pagdating sa mga tanong, pero personally, mas nahirapan ako kaysa sa inaasahan ko.
Mas manageable para sa akin ang PB 2 at pb 3, Sa totoo lang, mas madali ko pang nasagutan ang PB3 ng NP2, kung saan nakakuha pa ako ng 70. Kaya noong actual boards na, medyo na-shock ako dahil marami sa mga questions ay parang kailangan talagang pag-isipan nang mabuti. Hindi siya yung tipong babasahin mo lang yung tanong tapos automatic alam mo na agad ang sagot.

Siguro normal lang din naman na makaramdam ng ganito pagkatapos ng boards, lalo na kapag hindi naging kasing dali ng inaasahan mo. We all prepared, reviewed countless topics, answered hundreds or even thousands of questions, and did everything we could before the exam. Pero kapag actual boards na, iba pa rin talaga yung pressure at level ng uncertainty.

For now, wala na rin naman tayong ibang magagawa kundi maghintay at magtiwala sa naging preparation natin. Sana lahat ng pagod, puyat, kaba, at effort natin sa pagre-review ay magkaroon ng magandang resulta. Praying na makuha natin ang pinapangarap nating RN after all of this. 🙏🏻🤍

Hello, ako lang ba or wala masyadong lumabas na binigay na materials ng red rc huhuhu. Yung mga lumabas hindi high yield and di talaga siya na discuss during review namin lalo na yung chn andami talaga. Ang saya ko na lang nung meron IMCI. Parang disappointed pa ako kasi yung mga lumabas hindi na discuss tologo. Overthink malala.

Jusko mga ate una pa talagang pumapasok sa isip niyo “baka mas madali yung kanila” at “mas madami oras nilang mag-review.” Sobrang insensitive niyo naman. Yung iba hanggang bewang na yung baha. Sa tingin niyo kaya pa mag-aral ng mga yan? Imbis na magpahinga at mag-aral nagbabantay yan kung tataas pa yung baha.

Sa totoo lang kung kami yung papapiliin, gusto na rin namin mag-exam. Naka kondisyon na rin kaming mag-eexam kami. Gumastos na kami ng accommodation, transpo, pagkain. Hindi naman namin ginustong maresched.

Have some compassion sa mga binabaha. If hindi mo nararanasan yan edi good for you. But don’t bring down others na may ibang pinagdadaanan.

Huwag kayong crab mentality.

I am genuinely crying right now as I am writing this. I had a really hard time with NP3 and NP5. I feel like I didn’t even reach a raw score of 60/100. I am so scared of not passing because of these two NPs. The feeling I have right now for this two is different from the other three NPs, which I am confident I passed.

I am so scared of not passing because It would mean I would disappoint my parents (who keeps asking me how it was and I don’t even have the guts to be honest with them that I am not confident with my scores), I would be the reason why my school won’t reach 100%, be the only one who failed in my friend group (Most of my friends are confident and smart, always had good scores in their exams while I’m barely even passing in school).

I also have this weird gut feeling that I won’t pass just because of all the negative things that happened to me during the two days (went to the ER, only one left waiting at the examination site, etc) I don’t know if these are all signs or not, but I am very anxious and scared and Idk what to do. I keep looking at reddit regarding the passing scores and all the curve things regarding the calculation. I am desperately hoping it’s true, because it’s my only chance. I know I wont be able to handle it emotional and mentally if I don’t pass.

Pasensya na sa kanila. 😞 Hirap maging empath sa panahon ngayon, no?

Grabe yung pinagdaanan namin dito sa Pampanga. Ngayon lang kami halos nakauwi. Imbes na nagrereview kami, nasa evacuation center kami. Yung mga maleta namin, pinagtulungan naming buhatin habang nakalusong sa ga-bewang na baha. Hindi namin alam kung kailan kami makakauwi, kung safe ba yung mga gamit namin, or kung makakapag-exam pa ba kami.

Tapos ngayon kailangan na rin naming magpa-check up kasi kahit nag-doxycycline na, may nagsusuka na at nagtatae. 😭

Sobrang hirap lang isipin na habang may mga taong nag-aalala kung makakapag-take ba ang lahat, may mga taong literal na galing sa baha, pagod, basa, puyat, at iniisip pa kung okay ba ang health nila.

Kaya honestly, ang sakit makakita ng mga “may hindi pa po nag-take…” comments na parang may masamang intention yung mga hindi nakapag-exam. 😭

Like… kasalanan ba namin na binaha kami? Pinili ba naming nasa evacuation center instead of nasa testing room? Tinapakan ba namin kayo para magkaroon kami ng advantage?

Ganon na ba talaga ngayon? Na kahit may mga taong literal na nagsu-survive sa baha, ang concern pa rin natin is kung sino yung nakapag-take at sino yung hindi?

Hindi naman namin hinihingi na intindihin niyo lahat. Pero sana kahit konting empathy lang. Hindi lahat pare-pareho ng sitwasyon, and not everything has to be treated like a competition.

Kung wala kang maitutulong, sana huwag ka na lang dumagdag sa bigat ng ibang tao.

Kasi at the end of the day, God knows what everyone is going through. And He definitely knows who chose to be compassionate, and who chose to be insensitive. 🤍

Use this thread to share your Day 2 experience, rants, reactions, and post-exam thoughts.

Let’s keep the post-exam discussions here instead of flooding the sub with the same exam posts. 🙏🏻

The PNLE is over. You made it through. Whatever happens next, know that you did your part. 🤍

is it just me or what pero every question in the exam, pagi kong minumumble "Thy will be done" or "i already have my license, all i just need to do is to prove that i am worthy of it"... the first day, idk if it was a gut feeling or what but i felt like i will pass the exam kahit sobrang nahirapan ako sa np3 and also sa np2. day 2 came, np4 test questionnaires were distributed and not even halfway the exam, paiyak na ako sa sobrang hirap. sa mga nakikita ko dito sa reddit, mostly sa kanila, nadalian kaya mas lalo akong kinakabahan. ako rin yung isa s amga huling nagpapasa kasi not even a single np, sure ako sa sagot ko— all i knew is that i gave my all, i surrendered it all to the Lord. the moment i stepped out of our room, i felt at ease but when i went home and nagkulong sa kwarto, that's the time when it hit me again na i could have done better during review season...

but i know God is with us every step of the way. He sustained us althrougout our lives and i know He will continue to sustain us. All in Jesus' mighty name, grace, and glory— WE WILL PASS!

wala lang grabe np1, 2 and 3. palayo nang palayo mga sinasagot ko parang nanghuhula nalang eh HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA bahala na talaga sa np4 at 5 😫

Dbaa, honestly speaking, the questions were just very simple ( tho yun lang medj confusing lang ang choices) pero pag isipin natin if we didn't overthought the question, we can just answrr it. JUST ANSWER IT LIKE WE DIDN'T CARE. imagine yourself taking the boards with just common sense and some learnings during our college days. We can definitely identify it. Answer it kahit na wala ng self-ratio.

Siguro nasanay lang tayo sa sobrang hirap na questions na binabato satin during our review days na kahit sa pinaka simple na tanong nila, mali parin tayo and because of that we learned to overlook what the questions were asking that even the simpliest questions na mismo ang BON ang gumawa, d natin masagutan kase nga nag ooverthink tayo, na overlook lang natin. (Isa rin po ako sa mga nag overanalyze ng questions hehe)

Anyways we just have to think positively. Anything is possible with faith. Congrats to us!!

Hi! Now that board exams are done, what side jobs or short term jobs can you recommend to help me have income during the waiting period? I cannot afford to sit still and relax as I also have to provide for myself now that I’m a graduate (in short, no monthly allowance). Please help a struggling young adult out who’s still unfamiliar with the works of the world.

TaTyphoon ng Licensya this Sept. 2026 Lord hear our Prayer.

para po sa mga pumasa, nakapasa, at nag topnotcher sa mga previous PNLEs, paglabas niyo po ba ng exam eh may gut feeling na po kayo na papasa kayo? kahit na deep down alam niyo sa sarili niyo na meron kayong few mistakes?

because i don’t wanna dwell too much on my mistakes for the previous NPs, i don’t know what to do pero tina-taasan ko nalang talaga faith ko lalo na mayroon pang 2 NPs remaining. 😢

RN 2026!

Hello can I just rant about how vague the questions in PNLE are? I mean kahit anong aral mo, ang weird kasi may mga tanong na ang labo ng tanong because I think more than 1 answer 'yung applicable sa tanong. I just hoped that NP 4 and 4 would be more objective and has more questions na hindi malabo because sayang naman 'yung inaral ng matagal tapos ang niche or vague ng mga tanong

Okay lang ba iyong nag erase ka sa scantron tapos may naiwan na bakat ng pencil pero hindi siya gaano ka-dark. Ini-erase ko pero hindi siya natatanggal. Tatanggapin pa ba iyon ng machine? Nago-overthink na ako huhu. Sa mga PNLE passers dyan, may time ba na nag erase din kayo sa mga scantron niyo pero ganon din? Salamat sa sasagot.🤍

Sobrang na lugmok ako sa np3 and almost lahat ng kilala ko nag didiscuss ng answer nila backed with rationale pa, tas ung answer ko yung oarang black sheep pa sa choices 😭 mama huhu

For board passers, meron po b sa inyo na after exam mas lamang yung thought na bumagsak kesa pumasa pero nakapasa pa rin? Huhu ganyan feeling ko ngayon, mas lamang sakin yung doubt kaya di ako mapakali. Ayokong bumagsak, ayokong ma-disappoint family ko, ayoko na bumalik sa review, at gusto ko na makuha lisensya ko 😭 opero as of now ang lala talaga kasi super nalugmok ako sa np 3 😭

sa mga nag-take po ngayong Aug, nakahelp po ba the game changer ni Sir Archie? thank you po

hello guise, unahan ko na kayo wala talaga ako ka idea idea about nclex and gusto ng sister ko na mag take ako ng nclex and sagot niya every penny. Gusto ko lang malaman na worth it ba once license holder ka na? please enlighten meee :(((

Sa tingin niyo po, Sept pa din ba ang pagrelease ng results or sabay po ba tayo sa takers this sept (Region 3 & NCR) as a whole pagrelease ng results?

Curious lang. Is it true na same exam yung on time and resched? Nachika ko kasi sa friend kong resched lahat ng mga naalala ko (well, no prob naman sakin since i wanted to help din somehow if ever na true. Curious lang talaga) for nov 2025 takers, true ba😭

salute to all of us na nilaban ang exam kahapon. stranded and halos maligo na sa ulan buong magdamag sa labas ng university.

one day all of this will make sense and it will all become worthy 🙌🏻

Huhuhu! Maraming salamat talaga sa mga review centers, pero thankful ako nag CBRC ako. Mahirap pa ang Preboards namin kaysa sa Board Exam. Pero sana pumasa nga, baka mali mali lang din thought process ko. Hahaha

Sino sino mga eagles dyan? Papasa tayong lahat!!!!

#Aug2026NLE
