3. New grad job woes - question (long)

   Kringe38 replied to Kringe38's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Hi, there. This is a common story, I guess, but here goes. I got a job at a nursing home and have only been there a few days. I had a few days of orientation, then one day when I was on my own and...

8. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

   Kringe38 replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I took it on June 1 and felt like mine had a lot of SATA. I didn't keep count, but it was more than I was expecting for some reason. It stopped at 75 questions, I got the "good" pop-up, and...

   Kringe38 replied to LINZ_ME's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I just got home a couple of hours ago from taking mine, as well. I think it is normal to feel like you failed. They told us that in the review course I took, that the vast majority of NCLEX test...

14. Who pays for your pin?

    Kringe38 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    We pay for our own pin directly. I guess that's better, in a way, than having the cost of the pin rolled into tuition. At least you have the choice of whether or not to spend the money on it this...

15. Is it me? Last few weeks of NS and my motivation is flagging.

    Kringe38 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students
