  1. Dry Run Jitters...

    dtrmnd2sccd posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    dtrmnd2sccd posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My exam is at 8AM with about an hour travel time to the test site, so I have to be up early and ready to go. I'm trying to figure out how to get myself to relax the night before the NCLEX so I'm able...

    dtrmnd2sccd posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. Ear Plugs?

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to dtrmnd2sccd's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the info, everyone... Glad to hear they provide some ear protection. It's funny--I do fine when studying at home, but if someone is tapping their foot or sniffling during an exam in class,...

  14. Tufts Medical Center - Boston

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to sawyer12's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    dtrmnd2sccd replied to bucknangler's topic in MICU, SICU
