Hi! Like some of them mentioned, I would recommend taking Kaplan's online Qbank. It has 1200 and odd q's which you could practice from. The best part is the NCLEX screen and question format is almost the same. In my opinion this takes away 25% of the...

I passed my math test! Well, one thing out of the way. We have to give before the start of every semester, is it the same for all of you? In connection with IVs, we get to do it this semester. Let's see how it goes. This semester we have medsurg, ob...
