I agree! I'm experiencing that same "I don't give a D*#N" Attitude from my Academic Advisor. She's always so unavailable and never answers/returns my calls (she may respond every now and then to an email). She is not encouraging AT ALL to be an advis...

Don't worry! I reviewed from Kaplan & Lippincott and I don't think I ever got more than a high "D" on any of the review tests the first time I took them. However with repetition, the Kaplan "Strategies for Passing the NCLEX" was the most helpful....
Unfortunately, I went through The College Network as well and I felt it was a COMPLETE waste of money! First of all, The College Network uses very slick wording that is intended to make people think that they are affiliated with Excelsior College, w...
Im preparing for my first ( and hopefully last) CPNE and I hear a lot said about a grid. What exactly is this grid that I should stick to. Also has anyone ever taken the CPNE workshop. I take in 2 days and do to family issues, have not been able to ...
