I will be taking my RN Nclex on September 8th. I have already began studying and doing online questions. If you have RECENTLY taken the NCLEX what meds come to mind that I should focus on? Do you have to identify sounds using headphones? I heard that rumor but don't know if it's true. Any other pointers that you can think of would be greatly appreciated!Thanks,The SURFING NURSE!
