3. Floating?

   ENicuRN replied to Morganalefey's topic in General Nursing

    ENicuRN replied to mstones's topic in NCLEX

    I used NCSBN as my primary resource for their question banks. I used SO many resources and felt that NCSBN questions were JUST like what I had seen on nclex. But you also need to remember that you could do 5 million questions and it won't really help...
