  1. Why is this even a question? You should tell the truth. Did your nursing program not cover ethics?
  2. Moving from California.. help!

    This would be a good place to start: VA Board of Nursing
  3. Precepting Questions

    Eh, I don't think you made a poor choice. Everything you learned in school will help you pass that NCLEX, not a preceptorship. All that knowledge won't be lost if you decide to choose a specialty. In class, we have instructors warn us about "picki...
  4. Capstone Project Nursing Diagnosis

  14. Yea, I totally read that question as 'day' instead of 'week'. Whoops!
