    caffeineaddict replied to GODMAKEAWAY4ME2BRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I totally agree with Begosh. The NCLEX is not content only, but test strategy. ABC's, stable vs unstable, real vs. unreal etc.. Kaplan was a huge help imo. I did the live classroom version and online....

    caffeineaddict replied to caffeineaddict's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    caffeineaddict replied to caffeineaddict's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
