    RebeccaJeanRN replied to 22nurse's topic in California Nursing

    No- for how the test gets 'graded' or scored, take a look in the NCLEX forum. There is a really lengthy post there, from someone who really is knowledgeable about how the test is computed and...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to br107's topic in California Nursing

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. Please be careful when helping people

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to RNKay31's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't see that connection either. The only thing I can think of is if her password and/or login was one she also uses for other things and someone figured that out. Otherwise, in theory, the only...
