Hi! I have worked in Singapore in the past for 5years as a Staff Nurse. I was in Emergency Medicine Department. It was tough to adjust at first, considering I came from a small hospital with only two years hemodialysis experience back in the Philip...

Yes! I passed the NCLEX last March 28, 2014! Got the result by mail on April 2! It is an awesome feeling that my hubby wasnt able to sleep in disbelief, hahaha.... I thank God for ever guiding me, my hubby for all the support, my friends and family f...

Hi! Dont worry, I had the same worries when I was still studying for the exam… I feel soooo unprepared, considering that I forget so many things that I have already reviewed. But then, in the exam? Nothing in the book will exactly appear. You just go...

No mayang, I didnt enroll in any review course/ online review…its very expensive… Anyway, if you have the latest edition of books, Im sure you wouldnt have to worry about updates in nursing practices.. It only cost me $55 for Saunders 6th Ed and $30 ...

Thanks guys! I used Kaplan Book 2011-2012 and Saunders 6th edition.. Its a really good combo.. Kaplan is a great help in terms of test taking strategies which is vital and Saunders is great in terms of topic by topic coverage... ?

Hi! Thank you.... Honestly speaking, I started with results around 60's in Kaplan and even after I started the second book, which is saunders.. Sometimes I even have 50's (about 1-3sets of it) but those are when I took quizzes before I study the chap...

Any good advice? Gonna take my NCLEX on 3/28/14 and I feel nervous and apprehensive.. I finished the Kaplan 2011-2012 reviewer and currently halfway through the Saunders 6th Ed book.. I feel like Im not progressing very well because I only get around...

WHAATTTT?! U think nothing in this book was covered in the exam? Now Im more stressed out than ever. Geez. Well I guess I should review back again the strategies by Kaplan... Thanks for sharing your experience! Are there a lot of Pharmacology? I suck...

Im also freaking out cos I havent reviewed part of the Saunders book about Mental health, Neurological, and musculoskeletal! Its now 8days before the exam! I feel like nothing has been retained in my memory! =(

Thanks Sabrina! Its just so relieving that there's actually somebody who passed the exam even with 60% in qbanks.. I can relate very much, because I noticed that my results are also at the 60% range... I felt like I wouldn't be able to make it.. But...

Hi Ian, I have a male friend who went to Singapore and was fortunate enough to be hired by a Nursing Home (I forgot the name).. Well I guess Nursing homes in SG are easier to apply for than in-hospital positions.. They are also more open to hi...
