    Hushdawg replied to beyza2006's topic in General Nursing

    The 75 question rule is not accurate. NCLEX is designed to make a pass/fail determination at 75 questions so when it shuts off at 75 that means that your testing pattern was within the parameters that...

    Hushdawg replied to uniquenurse's topic in International Nursing

  20. Do Filipino Nurses Need Remedial English Classes Before Going Overseas?

    Hushdawg replied to Daly City RN's topic in International Nursing

  25. Do Filipino Nurses Need Remedial English Classes Before Going Overseas?

    Hushdawg replied to Daly City RN's topic in International Nursing
