1. What is a Nurse Attorney?

   Filerook replied to GivingLove's topic in Legal

   True enough. I am an RN who just graduated from law school in May, and am now studying to take the Bar exam at the end of this month. I didn't go to law school because I didn't want to be a nurse anymore. I went to law school because it is somethin...

   Filerook replied to jy4d8's topic in NCLEX

   I can certainly see where one could conclude that -- sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between head and butt. But I guess the vast majority of baby butts I have palpated have been must more "irregular" feeling than heads, and not as hard a...

   Filerook replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in NCLEX

   It can be done, really. About 3 weeks ago I passed the NCLEX in 75 questions. At the same time I am studying to take the Bar exam at the end of July (I just graduated from law school last month). And no -- I am no "spring chicken" either -- I am 57...

8. 6 Year Break and Now Studying for NCLEX

   Filerook replied to wright1023's topic in NCLEX

   Hello! I was in a similar situation, perhaps. I first took (and passed in 75 questions) the NCLEX ten years ago. Because my RN license was inactive for five years, I was required to retake the NCLEX in order to restore my license to active status. ...
