    NJNursing replied to trustar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NJNursing replied to RNKay31's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with everyone else - the sooner the better. Granted it's a difference of 4 days, but I think if you booked the 11th, when the 7th came around you'd be kicking yourself for not picking the 7th...
