  1. Questions about Seton Versant RN Residency in Austin

    I took the NCLEX last july. I highly recommend doing the hurst review. There are definitely people who fail the NCLEX and don't start the residency as some of my friends last year got last minute positions that way by taking someone's spot. Not to fr...

    Thanks acbs, you put things in perspective for me. My main other doubt is that I keep hearing.. If you don't think this is your passion don't do it, I couldn't imagine doing this without the passion yada yada. I seriously don't think I'll figure out ...
