   chocolateocean replied to Lauren Le's topic in NCLEX

   Hi, what state did you test in? I tested on Wednesday in California and got the bad pop up several times when trying to register again. I don’t know why it would give me (or us) that pop up unless we failed. I wonder if it could be because of where I...

   chocolateocean posted a topic in NCLEX

   I'm really depressed because I don't want to have to deal with this test again. I took it for the first time this morning and it cut me off after 75 questions. There were a lot of questions I guessed on. I did the PVT trick twice using a wrong expira...

    chocolateocean replied to chocolateocean's topic in Criminal

    I guess they were being brash and weren’t concerned about how their choice of words can make me feel or look. I was having an argument with the professor who said I was two-faced and he was trying to discredit me. I was trying to argue that I wasn’t ...

    chocolateocean replied to chocolateocean's topic in Criminal

    Fair guess, but that clinical instructor never knew me and was a different faculty member from the ones who said I'm inconsistent or two-faced. She had no involvement with me from previous semesters and knew nothing about me. By the way, I didn't est...
