2. Can I still be a great nurse without prior CNA experience?

   azulaflameRN replied to azulaflameRN's topic in New Nurse

   No I absolutely agree with you! I wish I worked as a CNA for the reasons you mentioned, but unfortunately I never have. Which is why I was wondering if I can still be a nurse without CNA experience. I’ve gotten told by several people that I would mak...

7. Low UWorld Self Assessment Scores

   azulaflameRN replied to jc109's topic in NCLEX

   Hi! I took the first self assessment today and got “borderline”. I was also super bummed about it. I think the biggest thing with UWorld is their rationales though. After the test I would review it and read the rationale on why the ans...
