    5 nurses on my unit took the exam. All with years and years of experience. 3 passed and 2 failed. One of them missed by 2 questions with 14 years of critical care experience. I think this is why it...

  5. Want to go into the ICU

  6. Want to go into the ICU

    moonischasingme1 replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in MICU, SICU

    moonischasingme1 replied to RXD, RN's topic in General Nursing

    It is overwhelming, but you need to just take it one day at a time. Stay organized and on top of everything the best you can. You'll make it through and be an RN (or LPN) before you know
