1. are math questions a bad sign???

   colladoa replied to jaylord11's topic in NCLEX

   math are considered lower level questions, but that doesnt mean they're a bad sign. they are just part of the question bank. your pass/fail status doesn't necessarily depend on the type of question, length of test, last question on the test -- but yo...

   colladoa replied to Michaelrocks's topic in NCLEX

   colladoa replied to first_taker08's topic in NCLEX

   took the test four times, in this order: 76, 75, 123, and 75. didn't make it on all four but don't worry. the number of questions doesnt necessarily measure your pass/fail status.. it's how you answered whatever amount of questions you were given. ...

4. Panicing over results, I failed.

   colladoa replied to californiaguy's topic in NCLEX

10. A Nursing Career Over 50

    colladoa replied to m9791l's topic in Men

    nothing should stop you! if a 90+ year old lady made it (check out Nola Ochs from Fort Hays State University, KS), why can't you? there's no age limit for learning! best of luck!

14. Resume Question...confused

    colladoa replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Career Support
