    I did the Hurst review and studied ATI as well as 2 Saunders review books. I don't know how many practice questions I did but I did a lot. Honestly I just studied hardcore and answered pracitce...
  22. The trick works! I live in Cali, took the NCLEX on 6/8 (and got the good pop up the next day), and my license was posted to the BRN website on 6/17. I really had no doubt that the trick works but it's...
