Finally.

 finally! i'm officially a registered nurse 🥹🤍 

"ONE Take? ONE TAKE!" 😭🤍

it was all you, Lord. 🍁🤍 

long post ahead 😭 

taking the PNLE was not on my list, i am fully sure to take the nclex so i can go straight sa U.S which is approved by my parents. but i think na pressure ako kasi all of my friends were going to take the PNLE so i decided na "why not take ko na ren?" 

nursing was never really my first choice, it was always engineering. my life would be more much easier kasi i have parents na engineer na. they can guide me and help me with my studies but i decided to change my dream nalang kasi mahina ako sa math 🥲

entering med school was really a humbling experience, especially sa De La Salle Medical Health. pharma was actually my first choice. opo last ko po ang nursing, nadala lang den sa friends 🥲 but ayun nag pa transfer ako sa nursing before mag start ang school year nung pandemic. i was eager to finish the degree nalang kasi ang hirap pala ng nursing 😭 like ang goal ko lang maka graduate on time so i can repay my parents (120k tuition fee per sem since first year??) i guess matagal tagal ko pa ma re repay ahaha umabot ng 3rd year na di pa ren ako fully committed sa course ko 🥲

 but time changes things nga. since lagi na nag duduty nung 3rd year i was able to appreciate and love my course little by little 🥹 during the board review sa Toprank, my main goal was to pass the board exam na "one take lang." i always ask and pray to the Lord for guidance para sa board exam and now, na grant niya yung prayer ko 🤍

Thank you, Lord. 🤍 Thank you St. Jude Thaddeus, St Therese, St. Clare of Assisi, St. Joseph Cupertino, St. Padre Pio, St. John Baptist De La Salle and St. Expedite 🥹🤍 indeed, praying is powerful.

thank you to my review center, TopRank! and to my school, De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute, thank you sa 4 years! 😅

and of course, to my parents, mommy and daddy na nirebook ang japan trip namin para makasama ako after my boards at di mag overthink (uwi dapat namin sa first book is nov 7 which is ang board exam ko is nov 9-10 😭) thank you parents for your never ending support and trust since day 1 🥹 i finally made it 🤍 this is all for you guys 🥹 i love youu! lezgo sa japan na ulit for the 4th time 🥹
