   My husband and I agreed that I would be a stay-at-home mom. After my youngest started kindergarten, I decided to work for the school system (in the special education department) so I could continue to be home with them when they did not have school....

8. Quick Results ever wrong?

   pddk87 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I guess I am grasping at straws. I was using a program that my tech college recommended for studying for the NCLEX, called ATI. According to all the tests I took, I should have had no problems passing the NCLEX. The questions ATI had were nothing...
