   Hi all, So I just took the NCLEX in VA. I got 75 questions with a lot of SATA's and a few ordered response questions. I am a nervous wreck. VA doesn't allow quick results. I did try the PVue trick and received this message, "Our records indicate t...

12. ATI Live Review

    Pinupnurse76 posted a topic in NCLEX

    Today I attended day 1 of 3 days in which my cohort is receiving NCLEX review from an ATI rep. I am not sure how beneficial the review is going to be for me personally. I know that I will get what I put into it and I am really trying. However, the...

    Pinupnurse76 replied to Nurse2beMN's topic in NCLEX
