3. New Grad RN... work in a SNF?

   saraannRN replied to MorgRN2B2011's topic in NCLEX

   I feel like we are twins! I am taking my test on 2/2/2012 and I too am very anxious. I obsessed with doing practice questions even though I got a 99 percent on my predictor. Guess it means we are going to be informed nurses. I know I will pass..just ...
