  2. 75?'s for NCLEX, Don't know if I passed

    Ortho_RN replied to KimRN03's topic in First Year After Licensure

    75 can be good or bad.. Its hard to say... I have seen a few fail with 75, but most 90% pass.. But I am sure you are fine.... Trust me only answering 75 had to be much better than answering all 265,...

  15. Just found out NCLEX-RN has changed

    Ortho_RN replied to Thelto's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As of I think this past October, the new questions DO count... But you just don't see very many of them on the tests yet. People need to stop thinking they don't count, because they

    Ortho_RN replied to prunepie's topic in General Nursing

  21. Lpn's

    Ortho_RN replied to pettyfoot's topic in General Nursing

    Well go luck finding a program that you don't have to do clinicals. That doesn't make any sense why you wouldn't have to do clinicals in a RN program, just b/c you are already an LPN. Being a RN is...

    Ortho_RN replied to Thelto's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
