WELCOME TO THIS GREAT EDUCATIONAL BLOG

Welcome to my Pre-Nursing Exam Prep blog. I hope it will help you prepare very well for the Pre-NLN entrance exam, popularly known as the PAX exam. This is one of the entrance exams required by some schools for those who want to pursue careers in the nursing field in the USA. I will attempt to break down the review materials into manageable parts so that you can systematically and efficiently prepare for the test with less stress. I will guide you to prepare for the entire content of the test. Hopefully, you will be able to pass after going through these series.


BEST OF LUCK!

A SEASON WITH A REASON - A TIME TO RELAX AND TO BE JOYFUL

This is a season to stop, relax, recollect, ponder and take stock of the year's activities,
 Both failures and successes.
 A season to climb to higher grounds and to leave behind the past.
 A season with a reason yet abused and misused because of lack of knowledge. 
It is a time to tap into your God-given strength through the birth of the giver of life, 
the Lord Jesus Christ, the new born king! 
He came into the world to take away all our, shame, sorrows and sins, 
and to restore us back to the rightful place that God has purposed for our lives. 
You were made to be a powerful and resourceful person. 
Tap into your inner self and allow God to empower you and renew your energy for greater things in the coming days.
 May this season bring you joy as the new born baby brought 
JOY INTO THE WORLD! 
MAY THE PEACE OF GOD BE WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THIS SEASON!
 MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. 

RELAX and LET NOT your HEART be TROUBLED!
