  3. Has anyone failed with ZER0 Math Calculations?

    AimeeJo RN replied to SeekingSuccess's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    AimeeJo RN replied to carluvscats's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    AimeeJo RN replied to candiceena's topic in Washington Nursing

    AimeeJo RN replied to mydee's topic in LPN to RN

  23. Paying the bills through school?

    AimeeJo RN replied to cherubhipster's topic in Nursing Career

    As far as LPN or RN I'm sure everyone has an opinion. I personally found it easier to take LPN first because there were fewer prereqs. Then I worked on my RN prereqs while waiting to get into the...
