    Can any Nursing Educators explain the rationale behind licensing/certification exams?

    deeDawntee replied to deeDawntee's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    deeDawntee replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I definitely agree that you have to do 2 things here: 1) give yourself a break...and really acknowledge yourself for how far you have come!!! Look at how many hurdles you have overcome!!! And no...
