Howdy. I actually saw your other post before I saw this one and already replied to you on there regarding this same subject. I will repost it here. I'm in the exact same boat. Graduate December, NCLEX January (or as soon as I can), ODS February o...

NCP is competitive. I'm not sure what the numbers breakdown to, but I know without a doubt that the numbers don't properly reflect how competitive it really is. Recruiters will either turn away non-competitive candidates or not be really helpful if ...
