    MrsGPR replied to SummerGarden's topic in NCLEX

    Supposedly, the NCSBN has a hand in creating board questions. To me, joining their review seemed like the wise thing to do. I hear rumours that there have been repeat Qs from that review on the NCLEX.... Some of the scores are a little scary. The a...
