10. NCLEX-Sigh!

    geminikell posted a topic in NCLEX

    Well, I took the test on the 24th. Not really sure how I am feeling I did on it. It seemed like I could always narrow it down to the best two but from there it seemed like it was a guessing game. It shut off at 75 so I either did really well or reall...

    geminikell replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Students

    Hi! I am a second year (well in the fall I will be) ADN student at a college in a small little corner of the world in Alaska. It was a VERY challenging first year and hopefully the next year will go a little smother. It's nice to find a place like th...
