   I am sorry to hear this! I think as an almost graduate from nursing school, you're going to struggle with confidence, just because you're at the point where you are figuring out there's so much left to learn but you're almost done being a student. ...

   Mama&Nurse replied to Mama&Nurse's topic in General Students

   The exam went well. All my prep worked! The practice tests were tricky to get find. It's been a while so I'm trying to remember, and googling what I can. If you go to nlnonlinetesting.org, you'll see several icons, including Question Review Bank. Yo...

   Congrats on surviving the first semester! How is it going for you? I have to admit, I'm very nervous, but I'm preparing for 4 semesters of very hard work and no free time, although I have no category for what it's actually going to be like! Any ad...
