    smn2010 replied to Epona's topic in Virginia Nursing

    why they say the REAL NCLEX is not what they expected

    smn2010 replied to bodz01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    don't assume that infection control and meds (trade and generic names are included in the state boards) make up the bulk of the nclex. right now, the questions on the nclex seem to "focus" on safety...

    DRUGS they give on NCLEX

    Need tips on priorization & delegation for the nclex!

    smn2010 replied to pkid3183's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
