   Hey everyone. GMU was kind enough to provide a class meant for reviewing the NCLEX. It was UWorld and Hurst Review. It is a graded class meaning we had to do it in order to pass. Anyways, I took my NCLEX and passed! I am now an RN! Woohoo!!

   Hey Meg, Did I meet you today? I think I met Bokkechick (blue dress & we're in the same clinical group!) and Thunderstorm. Yes, it's a good idea to carry those things. Hospitals will have a designated area for you to put your things in. I actuall...

   I don't think anyone has received the information yet, because they haven't finished assigning the schedules yet to the people attending the bootcamp. I searched for posts relating to bootcamp week, and they said it was just an orientation and not t...

    Last Saturday, I searched throughout Northern VA for it. Scrubs plus in dulles town mall was severely lacking in their selection, not to mention they opened LATE and with clueless staff. So then I tried going to Flynn O'Hara,which didn't have any, bu...
