Ok guys ! I just finished my NCLEX RN Exam about an hour ago. I finished in 76 questions it took me almost 2 hours. How soon can I try and do the Pearson View Trick? And would it work if I just changed the expiration date in my credit card?

I was so excited to see that I got a Daisy’s award from one of my patients ! I got the card and it said “Thank You !” From my manager. I did not receive the pin but I was happy that the patient wrote one for me. Another nurse (RN) on the u it got ...
