   HogNurse replied to HogNurse's topic in Virginia

   Nadia, thanks for ur reply. Do you have to have been a VA resident for some time to get that vtag thing? How would I go about asking about a minority scholarship? Do you know anyone who has qualified for that?

3. Saunders Question...

   HogNurse replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

   I took the NCLEX in June after graduating in May and passed for the first time and I had it to do all over again I wouldn't have studied a darn thing. I crammed with Saunders the week before the NCLEX and it didn't help me one bit!

4. What # of questions did u pass the NCLEX with?

   HogNurse replied to teresab_2000's topic in New Nurse

   I took it in June and passed and I took all 265 questions which royally sucked might I add. I knew for sure that I failed when I walked out since all my friends passed with 75 or 80 questions, so I'm sure you did great!

   HogNurse replied to dreamrider_212's topic in General Nursing

9. Can a white student get a minority scholarship?

   HogNurse replied to HogNurse's topic in Post Graduate

   I agree with part of what you are saying, but by the slim chance that I did get a minority scholarship especially at an all-black university, I know that there wouldn't be the chance that some under-priviledged student went without because they helpe...
