    flowerpowerntx replied to KrisDRN2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used UWorld only and passed with 75 questions. UWorld definitely prepared me well. I would say you need to make a plan to do 50 or so questions a day until you take the NCLEX. Keep a notebook of...

  12. Thinking of being a circulator?...Think twice.

    flowerpowerntx replied to OR Dude's topic in Operating Room
