NCLEX Application Assistance in Manila - For the Ignorant?

I wouldn't want to mention the company name lest I get my self in trouble. However, I found one of the the companies that offer assistance for the NCLEX application. They charge an amount of about 5 to 6 thousand pesos to allegedly to assist you with your application process. However, after closely checking what they would be doing for you, you'd find out that everything that they would provide you are forms which are downloadable from the internet! What's worse is that they will just ask you to provide them the documents you would need to submit. Isn't that the same as just submitting them yourself?

So, if I were you, I'd check on what these companies would be doing for you instead before I even pay them. After all, the nclex review centers would probably provide you practically the same service for free. In case you'd like to check out the application process, check out the state you would like to get a license from at www.ncsbn.org.

Changing Homes - Plans for the Future

Don't get me wrong. I'm not going anywhere yet. But, someone asked me about my plans for the future. "Well, for one," I said,"I'd be going to the US sometime soon." I'm a nursing graduate from the Philippines and have recently taken the Nursing Licensure Exam in December 2008. Of course the ultimate goal is to go to the US to join my family.

But then, when I come to remember how hard it is for me to relocate, I tend to overreact. I've experienced when I got married. Transferring from Cebu to Manila was not an easy task. What's more, that time I didn't have so many stuff to bring or dispose of. Looking for a place to stay was not so much of a problem though because we had bought our condo unit 6 months before my transfer.

I figure that in the US I'd have the same problems. In fact, it might just be worse if I don't plan ahead. After searching the internet (where else? that's where i do most research I do these days) I found that since I'm not sure of where in the US I will finally land, the links to finding homes in Las Vegas, Houston, and Georgia that I've recently found in the National Relocation , website will prove invaluable. They have information on mortgages, homes for sale, what's there in the neighborhood, schools nearby and other things that I'd want to know about before I even consider relocating.

Las Vegas might be a viable area for me. I like it there. Cost of apartments is cheap, food is cheap and it's very near my parents' place. Plus, there are more filipinos in the city. Well, I don't know why but for some reason I like staying where there are other Filipinos around. The one thing I really must have first is... well... my NCLEX result!
