   I'm in the same boat. Took mine this morning and got around 86 questions. I however felt the exam was horrible! I had meds I'd never heard of and one rather complicated medication question. Then I only got 2-3 select all questions. I am certain that ...

8. Who passed the NCLEX using only the SAUNDERS book?

   missypoo76 replied to qtpnai03's topic in NCLEX

   4500 questions seems a little excessive to me but I guess doing more can't hurt! All of my friends took the 3 day prep course and did roughly 1000 practice questions. They have all passed, so far. The 3day prep course I took is quite thorough. (The ...

15. Best/Worst Places to do Clinical in Portland

    missypoo76 replied to nurseby07's topic in Oregon
