Thank you, everyone; I feel so welcome!
I am familiar with the iconic actor Clint Eastwood but I have never been told that I have "Clint Eastwood hands," or is that some reference to a Stephen King story I have yet to read?
Yes, nursing boards of course are my top priority. I can only study for so long before I lose my focus though, so I read for fun in between. I read my NCLEX prep book about 2 hours per day except on weekends when I relax, read, play my ukulele and sometimes an online role-playing game I have been into since 2000. I also take practice tests through Kaplan which was included with my tuition. I am grateful for the advice and encouragement! Also, congratz on passing the NCLEX with so few questions, GNTLGNT that's awesome! I am planning to take a long test. I wasn't the best nursing student; I probably should have stayed on my ADD meds while in nursing school but I felt like I was trading sleep for focus, it wasn't awesome. My practice tests are geared to include endurance building--past test scores indicate I start experiencing "test taking fatigue" around 50 or so questions. If I end up answering fewer questions, I can be pleasantly surprised
I was told that it is better to read the Dark Tower series after I have many of his stories under my belt because there are so many references to previous works.
After all of the praise for The Talisman, how can I not read it now? I downloaded it on Saturday, and I am already 30% into it. I suspect a lot of video games (The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past, and Tales of Symphonia for instance) have borrowed from this story.
You guys seem really nice!
