3. 75 questions on NCLEX.. Good or Bad?

9. Ati comprehensive predictor test

   shotcaller28 replied to YesImVictorious's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   In some ways I found ATI harder than the NCLEX-PN. Probably because if we didn't pass the final review at a level 3 we didn't graduate. my prediction was 97% I passed the first time. I'm almost...

    shotcaller28 replied to lmsmom2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There are vast differences between an LPN/ LVN and a CMA. I realize I am feeding into it by replying to that statement but I do not want the OP to make a decision either way because they think the two...
