8. Failing the NCLEX a second time

   mbschloss replied to mabez's topic in NCLEX

   There are no easy solutions when it comes to studying for an NCLEX. Strategy guides can help you learn to look for key phrasing, but you need a strong foundation of critical thinking to eliminate answers. I've never heard of anyone who has walked out...

    SuzieVN, as a new grad I was a little surprised to be told in a job interview at an urgent care clinic, that because they did not have an RN on staff, I would be required to have the phlebotomy/IV training. They required their LPNs to do all blood dr...
