   Lunaticus replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Took the NCLEX-RN today at 2:00 pm. Just tried the Pearson Vue trick, and I was not allowed to proceed to the credit card page! Of course, I'll know for sure on Thursday, but I feel a bit calmer...

7. Buying a Stethoscope

   Lunaticus replied to _Angel_'s topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   Lunaticus replied to onedayCRNA's topic in Texas Nursing

    Lunaticus posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay, so I took the HESI and passed with what I feel to be a pretty decent score of 1047. To be truthful, I felt the exam was significantly easier than what I had expected. Now, I've heard that if...
