4. Questions on Apollo College and Vegas

   LostinVegas replied to LostinVegas's topic in Nevada

   Thank you so much for the updated information. I heard that DeVry bought out the apollo in phoenix, I didn't hear about the vegas campus. My degree is from Apollo, so I don't think that affects me. I actually passed my boards this past week and am no...

   Honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought. With all of the nurses telling me it was the hardest test they had ever even seen, I was expecting to have a test full of impossible riddles. The questions were worded exactly like many of the questions from my...

    I'm scheduled to take the NCLEX on Sept. 12th Today I am so nervous I feel like I can't concentrate and I'm on the verge of crying. I bought NCSBN's review and it doesn't even work...its a rip off in my opinion. I have already went through all of Kap...
