    DolphinRN84 replied to spirit11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I recommend Suzanne's plan also. I didn't use her plan but she has a really high passing rate in passing NCLEX, especially in helping international students pass. Good

    DolphinRN84 replied to luv2shop19mall's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
