i was like that too. start slowly. study for 30 mins or 1 hour a day until you gain the momentum and the will to study builds up again. also read notes that doesn't have much written on it first since you'll just be bored reading too many things per page if you read a comprehensive book.

i attended excel before. the live discussion is ok but the notes left so much to be desired for. it's not really that polished but i always read it first when i want to start studying again...

saunders, la charity, mosby's pharm notecards, and med-surg made incredibly easy. got saunders and davis nclex question book too but i prefer the cd for a mock exam. i'll drop by to your thread for fact throwing or we might get mod here since it's a different topic...

forsty - you slapped me and brought me back to my senses....thanks for the story jojonightengaleGN - goodluck to us! same day as you...if i'm ready by then...

just those 2 items if there's no problem from the bon. you just need a generic envelope used for mails.

yeah you're going / supposed to receive a letter that they evaluated your application blah blah and you are eligible to retake the exam... i don't know if it's because of the consecutive holidays that things are slower over at the bon because usually it only takes a week for them to send the letter. if i send them on a monday, i'll get the letter by wed or thurs the following week. my recent took 18 days for me to get the letter...

if my technique works, my guess is metabolic acidosis

please pm me if this study group thing is going to materialize. as long as it's accessible by public transportation is fine by me...

daly city too...

can i join the study group you guys are planning to conduct?

if you still have lots of time and you think it's enough for 265 questions (nobody knows when will the computer stop right?) then take a break. i tried w/o any breaks and staring at the computer screen hurts my eyes that i'm having a hard time reading and kept wiping my tears. got a bid bored and anxious too to move away from the crampy chair cost some mistakes for me...

depends. nobody knows what questions you will get anyway. some people study like for a year but still failed and some like a week or two or even didn't even study w/c some thinks it's suicide but passed... if you're comfortable taking it asap or prepare for it a bit longer then choose your path...

i did that and i dunno why i my application won't stick to just one evaluator. took me more or less 1 more month than the 6 month estimated process time just explaining to at least 3 evaluators that i'm an immigrant and doesn't have an interest to practice the profession back there that's why i'm challenging the nclex. lots of mails have been thrown back and forth to me and the board... i didn't understand what i typed when i read it now...haha! i'm gonna use myself (california) and my classmate (texas) as an example. the bon requires a local board from the country of origin as a requirement but you can still take the test provided that you explain your situation (not sure if applying for all states are the same). in california, if you passed, you can practice the profession. on the other hand in texas, you can't still practice because they still requires a license from the country of origin. my classmate passed but didn't take the oath so he just went back to the phil. just to take the oath... you are a registered nurse if you pass the nclex. but you can't just practice in any state that easy as some states needs more requirements for international grads (ielts, toefl, cgfns)...

some states requires a license from the country of origin and some don't both as a requirement for nclex application and reciprocity in case you are a rn now. i'm in the same situation as you so i know...

i think you can delegate it. i don't know how to elaborate my answer much but someone told me that anything that isn't that complicated, very routine, has an expected outcome, and falls in adl can be delegated to an ap...
