Weekly NCLEX Q & A

Hello Everyone! First and foremost, I want to congratulate everyone for making it through the first rough 3 weeks of the program! We did it! The NSSP even spoiled us with a few gadgets including sticky pads & an awesome magnet with our picture on it (already have mine on my fridge haha).

I just wanted to let you guys know I will be doing a weekly NCLEX Question from the website learningext.com (NOTE: I heard from my friend who graduated spring 09' that they put a handful of these questions on the ACTUAL NCLEX exam).

I believe that this is an important tool & will help keep us on the right track to passing the NCLEX exam. It will only take at most 5 minutes of your time so it won't hurt to do it.

I have already been doing the NCLEX Q's since we first started the program so I will post the 3 questions I have from the past 3 weeks.
