    danh3190 replied to ERN1187's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    danh3190 replied to mylittlerussian's topic in General Students

    danh3190 replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The little brochure from the Pearson people said that the conclusion that you can draw from 75 questions is that you aren't near the line. I think more people are way above the line than way below it...
