5. Do I really need a $500 Kaplan class?

   patsyNJ2006 replied to CAnewgrad's topic in NCLEX

   I did the learningext.com site through NCSBN, and questions from Davis and from Saunders. I gave myself 3-4 weeks to prepare, and tried to do 100-200 questions a day. The learningext site is inexpensive, and I bought the books used from other classma...

    patsyNJ2006 replied to randybayrn's topic in NCLEX

    Good luck to all of us!! My NCLEX was yesterday, and I agree-- a lot of prioritization, 5+ check all that apply, and meds I had never seen before. I don't now how you all in California handle the wait. Jersey does the "unofficial" quick response, a...
