    nurseme3 replied to BeatDownNewGrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    nurseme3 replied to dream1987's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you are looking to save, just buy the QBank questions from Kaplan and skip the class. I did both but could have done without sitting in a classroom during summer. Otherwise, I supplemented my...
