    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

  8. Bad Interview?

    JeanettePNP replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know it's tempting to look for clues whether it was a good or bad interview, but really you won't know anything until they get back to you. I had an interview that I thought went really well and I...

    JeanettePNP replied to Angitia's topic in General Students
