    renardeau replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The scenario ones are always funny, but it really does show how a person thinks. One of my friends said her question (for a financial consultant/analyst position that has nothing to do with music)...

    renardeau replied to i<3u's topic in Maryland Nursing

    How do people do on practice questions vs. NCLEX?

    renardeau posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just curious! For those who passed/didn't pass/are currently studying, how are you guys doing on practice questions? I know it's unreasonable to expect to get 100% of practice questions right, but...

    Yeah, it feels weird to believe that 60% will get you through. I guess we'll see. I take my exam this

    renardeau replied to RegN2Bin15's topic in Maryland Nursing
