   Wow, that's really not a lot to start off...especially for all that hard work we've all done. I live in southern MS and have worked at Wal-Mart for almost 5 years while I was in college. After the...

   I just hate that it doesn't tell you much when you fail. It tells you below, near, or above passing rate on each section. That doesn't really help

   I went to Pearl River Community College in Poplarville, MS. I did the RN program, but they offer an LPN also. It's about 45 minutes interstate driving from Slidell and very easy to get

   Best of luck! Mine shut off yesterday around 155ish. The closer you get to 265, the harder it is for the computer to determine if you are on the passing or failing mark...which means you're in the...
