What if the only hospital experience you have is from clinicals?? I know that I'm supposed to concentrate on that for the Experience section, but does that mean I should have a few sentences describing what I did during each rotation, or do I just l...
WOW! I can't thank you enough for all the info. & advice posted. It will really help me during my search for the right place to work. I see that all these choices is a good thing! I appreciate your help.
Letty1, I was in the same boat as you - 2 years ago, @ 30 y/o, I went back to school for my 2nd bachelor's degree, in nursing, & had a mediocre GPA going in - I agree with what everyone has said on this thread. You are on the right track with ta...

I recently passed the NCLEX & looking back, I realize that I stressed myself out too much. My advice to those who have yet to take it & are in panic mode, is to just relax. Just keep doing practice questions every day & remember to take...
