Answer to Question 1

Rationale: Once you finish the exam, you can't change the outcome, so it is best to try to keep busy to make time seem to pass more quickly. If you live in a state that participates in the 900 results number, the results will not be available for 48 hours, so keep a positive outlook. Good luck After completing nursing school, you can pass this exam.
