3. Are you content at LVN level?

   elf5ft10 replied to 53Kalypso's topic in LPN/LVN

5. Demensional analysis

   elf5ft10 replied to Nurse n Training's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   elf5ft10 replied to Shillelagh's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   for me alot is common sense, but I have to agree with the others about using an nclex review book. I have saunders, mosby's and davis (the last 2 are my favorite, but I found mosby's the hardest. best of luck, and try not to worry too much, you'll ma...
