1. GBS+ moms and abx before c/s

   oneRNprn replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

2. RNFAs in C-Sections - Pro/Con

   oneRNprn replied to BELCJ's topic in Ob/Gyn

   oneRNprn replied to Katushka's topic in NCLEX

   Nope. never heard of anyone failing with 75 questions. I know that the number of questions doesn't mean how well you did, but in general if you've always been a good testaker, I'd tend to think you did very well passing with the minimum number of que...
