The shortage depends on geographical location, experience, and specialty. Big metropolitans are oversaturated, but more rural areas are experiencing huge shortage. Let's say, person just after school probably will have huge difficulty to find a job in Chicago, LA, San Francisco, NYC, or Miami (here you need to know Spanish on top of all requirements) because of the lack of experience. However, the same person will be hired the very same day in New Mexico, Arizona, or Montana. The same situation with specialization. A novice nurse probably will be hired faster at SNF than a prestige hospital. Thus, shortage exists in some places and areas of nursing.

75 Questions in 25 minutes? Incredible! 68 or 69 question took 2 hours. I got notice - "Would you like to take a break?". In total 75 took me about 2 hours and 15 min. I think it is very important to take your time during first 75 questions.

I just took and passed NCLEX 05/23. PC stop at 75. I got 16 (!) SATA, one computation, lots of prioritisation and lots of infection control (like prevention or way of transmission). Before exam I "slept on" Silvesrti "Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination" (3rd edition), "Q&A Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination" (3rd edition), Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam 2007-2008 (a lot of useful strategies!) I think the best way to study for the NCLEX is practice, practice and one more time PRACTICE on a computer.
