   lilmeeper123 replied to superkyx's topic in NCLEX

   Hang in there. I took the NCLEX in 1997 and thought for sure that when the computer shut off after the 75th question that I failed for sure. I drove home (2 hours) crying all of the way. (I took the test where I would not know anyone) The day that...

3. LPN to RN or BSN???

   lilmeeper123 replied to zippy22's topic in Career Support

   lilmeeper123 replied to btown annie's topic in General Students

   I have been there before - i graduated 10 years ago with my ADN and went through this same thing. Once I graduated it was over and then I went back for my BSN and just before graduation - it started again. (I felt that I needed more torture! lol) ...

   lilmeeper123 replied to BabyGirl00's topic in Indiana

   With the shortage of Nurses that everywhere is facing - WHY would anyone get rid of/phase out any nurse? I am an RN and love working with LPNs and unlicensed staff. But if I was a patient and given the choice as to who I would rather have for my ca...
