I have to take the NCLEX at some point this summer and I have no idea how much time I will need to study. I am so burnt out form nursing school that even the thought of having to study for another huge test is disturbing. Does anybody have any tips for studying, or even taking the test?

Home for me is about 35 min northeast of Atlanta, I am only in Knoxville for school. I do not care about the weather so much as other things, but no desert! I want to make a good decision, but I have no family that has been in the military, so I just do not even know where to start. My concern with Landstuhl is that I do not want to be "thrown into the fire" with that kind of trauma right out of college. I really want to get the hang of real world nursing (not school) before I tackle Germany. I want a base where I will get plenty of experience.

I want a base that is well kept and not in the middle of nowhere. I will be 22 when I graduate and I would like to have a big city or somewhere nearby that I can go explore and that has a lot to do.

I will be graduating in about a year and I need to pick my dream bases. My options are: Andrews, Eglin, Keesler, Lackland, Langley, Nellis, Travis, Wright-Patterson, Mt. Home, Elmendorf and Landstuhl. I would like to work on a trauma floor or in the ER. Please let me know if you have any advice on which base would be best for trauma/ER and which bases are nice in general.
