Where should I start? 5 days ago, Friday, July 24th, 2009, I took the most agonizing exam known to nurse-kind; the infamous NCLEX-RN. We, as new graduates, dread the life-altering exam that determines our next step towards a nursing career, allowing us to officially graduate from nursing school with a $130 license (depending on what state you’re from). As if the time and effort we put towards nursing school aren’t good enough. Despite all that we’ve learned through the 2-4 year program, we’re required to sit yet again for an exam consisting of 75-265 questions. Nurses Announcements Archive Article
