13. How do I study for NCLEX?

    Norcalnursestudent replied to stewiegriffin's topic in NCLEX

    Are you still in touch with your classmates? Is it possible to form a quick study group to combine your resources. Possibly some of the nurses at the hospital may have study material that they didnt get rid of...wouldnt hurt to ask.
