   FutureOBNurse2118 posted a topic in NCLEX

   So I graduated at the end of last month and my school just sent our transcripts to the board on the 3rd. So obviously, I don't have a test date set just yet. I feel like I really need to start studying a lot, but I'm finding it really hard to study w...

    FutureOBNurse2118 replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Nursing
