I recently took the Kaplan course (in March) and I took my NCLEX in May and I passed :) When I took QBank questions, my scores were in the mid 50 to mid 60, and the more I did I began to feel more...
I am ecstatic to say I have accepted a residency in a local level III NICU! I am super excited and scared at the same time. I did my preceptorship in an adult ICU, so I have a little intensive care...
Thanks everyone for the positive words. I feel better with some direction for where to go. Since I have a week or two until I start, I am going to focus on labs, and exercising my critical thinking...
