1. NCLEX pass rates

   QuinnP replied to dinzz's topic in General Students

   Look at the pass rate in relation to other nursing schools in the area or state. If the school is near the bottom of the list, I'd probably pass. Also, to be sure, look at the schools previous years NCLEX pass rates...are they all low?

7. Health assessment class

   QuinnP replied to Sophia1's topic in General Students
