Before my next Blog.. I would like to apologize because of the fact that this post was suppose to be 'posted' a long time ago. But I haven't got the time (okay, okay!! I was LAZY to do it.. sheesh!! ;p). So here's the continuation of my NCLEX-RN ADVENTURE~

Taking the NCLEX-RN Exam takes time... It can't be done in just a month. So me and my friend Jhosel took our leave from the hospital we're working for. I told you before that I am currently working at a Special Employment Program by our Cong. right.. and so we need to file a leave of absence from work. As for our review, our program caters to free review for NCLEX and IELTS as we are aiming to go out of the country to work! So we took the offer... We were told that we couldn't work and review at the same time so we took our leave of absence from March 2010. By the 1st week, we waited for the review center to call us about our review schedules, but there were none. By the last week they called and let us attend the last session of the February-March group, a two (2) day lecture. That was it... they told us to wait and be contacted again for the next batch of reviewers. But the reviewer told us that the next class would be held by June and that we must postpone our exam. We were appalled, we took the leave of absence for March but we did nothing but wait. And there's more, that we need to give them additional 11K for the lectures because the fund that the SEP gave them is only 10K each participant and it only covered the internet review that they provided. We thought it was free! And agian we were shocked about the news. But me and Jhosel were determined to take the exam by June.. By hook or by crook we will take it by June 2010. So what we did was study harder and make use of what reviewers we have. I, for starters, used my old reviewer from my college days and for the Local Board exam. We began to really study hard and be focused by April 2010.

The pic above is our wall.. i posted so post-it on this particular wall.. it looked like a collage! When I took it out just this month, my mom said, "Oh! We have a wall?" LOL

By May 2010 we already paid for our exam and got our ATTs (Authority To Test). A funny story about how i almost did not get my ATT.. Me and Jhosel registered at the Pearsonvue at the same time. Jhosel using her computer at her house and me using my laptop. I forgot to bring my adapter with me and my battery is low. We were processing out accounts at Pearsonvue when suddenly a blackout came and the internet went down, duh.. of course..=P So we waited until the power was up. When it came, my account did not process it yet so i must RE-TYPE all those information and such.. whaaaaa.. what a bummer.. but yes.. I typed it again. But as i said my battery was calling my attention.. it said 20% at one time then it was 10%.. So i typed faster to utilize my remaining power. AND THAT WAS A BIG/MAJOR MISTAKE!! I was so careless in typing that i typed the wrong E-MAIL ADDRESS!! Jhosel got her ATT and i was wonder why it was taking mine long enough to be sent.. so i checked my account and dun dun dun dun... I typed my e-mail address with a .@yahoo.com with a "." before @! And that was why mine was not sent.. In that minute that i found out I was panicking.. because I already paid the $200 that my aunt lend me. I don't want to have another $200 debt. Another reason was that we cannot take the exam if we don't have out ATT (even though you paid already)!! And so I was sweating like crazy and my palms were cold, I can't think properly.. It was a good thing that Jhosel was with me. After that panic attack, I was alright again. I thought of the customer service that they provided and ask them to send me my ATT at my correct e-add.. but it was 6pm them and they'll probably look into it in the morning.. whhhaa.. the pressure.. I had a long night that day. I couldn't sleep thinking about that ATT.. Good if I haven't paid yet.. but I did.. I borrowed my aunt's credit card for this and I messed it up. I SUPER prayed that night, I think I called all the Saints and all the different image of Mary. I also seek help from my deceases dad for help... YES, I WAS THAT DESPERATE!! But it all paid off in the morning, or specifically in the afternoon when I opened my e-mail. I was sooooooooooooooooo (take not of the o's please^_^) HAPPY that the customer service worked!! they sent me my ATT!! Relief flooded though me, I thanked all those that I called that night for a quick answer to my prayers! God truly is the Greatest!! ^_^ After that, we called Pearsonvue for our scheduling of the exam. We decided it would be on JUNE 18, 2010. We picked it up because of its the BIRTHDAY of our Taiwanese IDOL S.H.E. ELLA CHEN JIA HUA!! And no, its not only for that reason. We heard that the Number 8 is a lucky number. We figured that June 8 would be too early and June 28 would be too late, so June 18 is just right and an additional bonus id that it's Ella's birthday! If you're not familiar with Ella google her! I'm sure you will like her personality and she has a great talent. (enough of her.. maybe next time I'll Blog about her!! ^__^)

And so this was how we prepared for battle~~ tune in for my next blog for the continuation of my exciting adventure~~ <3
