April 2008 NCLEX test takers, COME ON IN!

Published

Per the request of janina08 ;) I've started the April NCLEX takers support group. When do you take it? What are you using to study? Would anyone like to review any of the systems/meds that he/she feels weakest on? Let's keep each other in our prayers and good thoughts as we go through one of the biggest experiences of our lives. :) :nurse:

do you mean 1 kg equals 2.2.lbs? Sorry if I'm wrong in interpreting.:mad:

Oops sorry hun yes

1 Kg = Lb/2.2 (Pound (divided by) 2.2 )

Thank you for correcting Buttercup. Oh gosh, I don't want to be giving you guys wrong information grr
