    CT Pixie replied to nursefrances's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No need to pay so you can print it out and frame it. You've already paid, in blood, sweat, tears AND cash during school. Haha. Frame your license instead :) My State sends a paper 3x5 and two small...

    CT Pixie replied to cjo85's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CT Pixie replied to MissyNik's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, that means your quick results aren't available at that time. (Check tomorrow). You can do the PVT at anytime once it says 'delivery successful'. I actually did my PVT in the parking lot of the...
