Wish there was a way to cull selectively

Congratulations! :)

Wow, thanks for the info! :)

You're right mommyrina, I guess it's all about doing what works best for you :)

Hi tomcam! Try tutoring Koreans. Some centers hire part-time tutors. That way you can still focus on your review. A call center will provide you with money but you might lose focus. Yeah, we all have different learning styles. In my case I can't concentrate in a review center because there are too many distractions. Classmates to chat with, anecdotes from reviewers, long breaks, commuting to and fro... I like studying on my own better because it's just me and the book. Different strokes for different folks :)

Hi piquant! Good luck! :) Are you using Saunders right now? I'm about to buy one. I'm also NOT enrolling in a review center. Everyone I know is telling me I'm making a mistake by not doing so. Hi messageinabox! I hope you get hired soon. Maybe you can apply again to Saudi? Yeah you guys are right. It's impossible to know everything.

Thanks so much! Hope I get to finish it too :)

Thanks a lot for the advice! Congratulations on topping the board! If you don't mind me asking, has being number 5 helped further your career? Like, have well-known hospitals accepted your application to become a staff nurse because of that? With the freeze hiring in many hospitals, I was thinking that maybe if I topped the board, then that would give me an advantage over other applicants. A stepping stone if you will. Currently I'm brushing up on my poor foundation, since I have a lot of time on my hands. And it's true what another poster said; because the more I study, the more I realize that I don't know anything!

Is it really necessary to use a review book for IELTS? I have a friend who doesn't speak English very well but he got a 7.5 average.

I'm fortunate to have the luxury of time to study for the NCLEX. I have a very poor foundation from Nursing school. Is it okay if I try as much as possible to finish the entire book? Or am I just wasting my time unnecessarily?

That's exactly how I feel. But you know what, that should just motivate us to study, study, study more! :)

Hi y'all! I just graduated this March, will be taking the board in November. Since I have months of studying ahead of me, I'd like to ask for tips on how to top the board. Since I have all this free time, figure I might as well make the most of it. I know having a good board rating isn't a guarantee of success later on, but I want to try. I also plan on taking the NCLEX. HELP!
