   HokieNurse21 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

   I heard about this trick in nursing school, and of course tried it immediately after taking NCLEX a few weeks ago. It said I couldn't re-register, and the next day I go the official "PASS" from the board of nursing. All of my fellow student nurses al...

   I'm sure you have figured this out, but you can also wear the red scrub top to lab as well, as long as INOVA still requires that.
