    NJ Board of Nursing - What the Heck?

    strawberryluv replied to alibee's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    The BON NJ is so slow and inefficient. It is now 2015, you would think they would have a better system for granting people licenses. I passed NCLEX 18 days ago and I have not received my license...

    NCLEX Anxiety

    strawberryluv replied to saslea2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you're good. In my experience with taking some Kaplan questions, Kaplan is way harder than NCLEX. NCLEX is so vague and easy. Its actually possible to overstudy for the exam as I

    Well I blew it; tips for others

    strawberryluv replied to kabooski's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why would you waste time thinking if your questions are easy and hard. That is your problem. Stop reading into the question, what quality it is, etc. Just answer it correctly to the best of your...
