The waiting time is killing me, The local exam is way more difficult compared to NCLEX, I passed NCLEX on June 16 and I took NLE Test 1-5. Whew! Thanks Suzanne for the Study Plan. Mwah!

I took my NCLEX on the 16th of June, 2007. I passed and I spent Php 12000 for the airfare and hostel. I booked 3mos in advance right after I received my ATT, I paid Php 8 500 for the round trip airfare tickets, I paid HK $250/night, about $32 a night in a hostel in Causeway Bay and i stayed for 5 days in Hong Kong. I was even able to travel to Macau and China, If you are really on a tight budget, look for a guest house instead. The hostel I stayed is about 3 MTRs away from the Grand Milleneum, about 15 minutes away, so it's not bad really.

NCLEX is alot easier compared to the local board

I am re-taking the whole exam. Personally, Passing the second time around might be easier for two reasons; #1 Confidence(maybe I can do better) #2 Longer exposure to Nursing Concepts (More retention)

Review Centers Advantage: Review Centers boost your confidence. They have a lot of good resources. Test Taking Strategies They entertain youDisadvatage: The travel alone may get you and your pocket tired. The Cost.My Personal Experience: I enrolled in one of the famous Review Centers in Manila. I noticed that the questions they used for the final coaching were taken out from 1 book (except for DOH). The most beneficial part is the Test Taking Strategies. Its kinda funny coz, they gave us exams and checked it after. Almost all of the students got below 75%, what they did is reduced the passing score to 50% just to boost our confidence. Results: I passed. I also have friends enrolled at review centers who failed. And vice versa, friends who did self-review and passed.

I passed the June 2006 and I am taking the June 2007 NLE. Your friend's greatest enemy is panick and jitters. Review Centers just boost your confidence. Just make sure you have the right resources. Stick to what is effective for you in studying (Try recalling the best way you studied for major exams back in college). Good Resources: 1. Fundamentals of Nursing by Udan 2. DOH Book 3. Saunders NCLEX Review or NSNA for MS,Psych,MCN and Pedia 4. Saunders Test Taking Strategies I tried reviewing at a review Center before for final coaching but all they did was boost my confidence.

My Answer to that: My reason for working abroad is primary monetary. 2nd reason is the working environment. I plan to start a family there. It doesn't bother them because getting old is inevitable and better get a head start. And I will only go to a state where I have relatives. Family is the best support group even in better days. I studied in the States back in High School and homesickness is extremely underated. I mean, being homesick can get you temporarily insane! But it can be diverted to better work performance (before it was school).
