Why is NCLEX® Preparation so Important? You gotta ask yourself~
Would you go on vacation without making a list of what you need?
Would you try and make a dress without a pattern?
Would you try and make your favorite dish without a recipe?
If you wouldn’t do these things…why would you NOT prepare for the one thing that
will impact your entire career……NCLEX ®!
