    NCLEX RN on 6/28 and think I Failed

    cracklingkraken replied to bostongirl128's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    cracklingkraken replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry I've been so MIA. So here's what my last few weeks have looked like: I stayed at my friend's empty apartment and helped him move when his lease ended. It substituted my workout for the week. The...

    Comparing ATI and Kaplan scores?

    cracklingkraken replied to aeris99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt like Kaplan didn't really help me except for a few questions on the NCLEX. I would say that ATI was more similar to the NCLEX than anything. I didn't really study, to be honest, and passed....
