  13. Can I take the NCLEX in a state different from the one I graduate in?

    Conqueror+ replied to John123's topic in Texas Nursing

    Conqueror+ replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not my post but I have a bunch of crocs and they sanitize great in the washer and they are dry when you pull 'em out. You can actually wash any sneak too just don't use the dryer cause they tear them...
