7. Can your NCLEX results 'expire'?

   Elleann replied to Elleann's topic in International Nursing

   Thanks. Yes I do know about retrogression (the factors beyond my control I mentioned). I'm just feeling pretty devastated at present as I recently learned that my I-140 was denied, and it's not my...

   This may sound like a silly question but I really need to know! I'm in South Africa and took my NCLEX in June 2006 as part of my emigration process and passed first time. I did it through the VT...

   Rachelle, I am still in SA... my I-140 application went in to the INS in January this year and we are still waiting for that to be processed, but it IS underway. Apart from that, though, apparently...

13. What is your test day plan?

    Elleann replied to TLC RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

14. mosby's cat test for nclex

    Elleann replied to traumahawk99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
