I used to wear the stockings, and then I discovered Zensah Tech+ Compression Socks! So much cooler looking, longer lasting and way more comfortable! I don't do a shift without wearing these!
Im about to take NCLEX in a few weeks! Thanks! I just downloaded this free book so havent had a chance to read it yet, but the table of contents look great!!! Here's hoping it helps me! :)
I just finished the live hurst review. I felt like I got my money's worth! However, I haven't taken the NCLEX yet...... That being said, this review is for CONTENT....You can't answer the questions right if you don't know your stuff, right? It pull...

I think you have an excellent plan! I did the same thing, had the math prep classes, took it slow, kept a 4.0 and I just got accepted into nursing school for this fall. I had so much fun in my classes, used the professor rating website to help me pic...

Oh yes, I figured out that memorizing vocabulary words doesnt really help, because you could spend time memorizing 3,000 words and maybe those arent the ones on the test! Time spent reading the NLN guide for test taking strategies is more valuable s...
