While purchasing a car last year the salesman asked me what I did, I told him I was a nurse. He asked me if I was a "Real Nurse" (RN) or a "Pretend Nurse" (PN), he found his joke hilarious. This is why hes a car salesman.

When I mailed my application to NY in June they required a passport sized photo be attached to the application. There was a box for it at the top right corner. I mailed my application to Albany on June 9th, paid my Pearson Vue fee on June 28th and re...
So I took the NCLEX-PN at 5pm this evening, well, actually I began a little before 5. I minimized the clock on the screen and wasn't really paying attention the the # of questions, I believe my exam shut off between 85-87 because the last # I remembe...

I'm almost finished with lpn school, they offer a week of tests in June for challenge exams. You can test out of 6 nursing classes total. They tell you not to expect to pas these exams but I think they're just trying to deter you. After you pass the ...
St Pauls loves to ride on the old St Vincents coat tails and claim that they are the same school, therefore have achieved the same things. This is completely false. They BOUGHT St Vincents when St Vincents went bankrupt. St Vincents was a wonderful s...
