    deftonez188 replied to young_one91's topic in Government, Military

  4. Navy - ability to go to school on the side?

    deftonez188 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    deftonez188 posted a topic in Government, Military

  8. Advice needed

    deftonez188 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    deftonez188 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    deftonez188 replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    It's an internet message board, who cares... It IS funny though that so many people rush into the thread to flex their grammatical prowess. As someone said previously, it smells of

  13. Jail/Prison Nursing

    deftonez188 replied to SPNCandace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    For that pay i'd take on the responsibility of a Nurse Aide, but an RN? New grad here making 27.50 an hour (nights), i'd find it hard to justify a 7 dollar an hour pay

  19. This was surprising

    deftonez188 replied to voraciousj's topic in General Nursing

    I took the NCLEX today - I felt it wasn't as hard as I had expected and finished in about 40-50 minutes with 75 questions. I came home and decided after waiting a few hours to try the Pearson Vue...

    deftonez188 replied to nursing123098's topic in Michigan Nursing

    "some new grads are downright incompetent these days" I won't assume that you mean to say there weren't incompetent grads 'back in the day' - perhaps if training programs were better, results would be...
