  8. Wheres God?

    derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It was not my intention to start a theological debate about Wheres God when it comes to NCLEX. I was just venting. Being an RN is very important to me. Who else would spend untold sums of money on...

    dear cardiacRN2006, If God is omnipresent like we were all taught to believe he is; you don't have to be a trapped miner or a soldier fighting in a war to receive the blessings of God. There is...

    derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am already in the process of "getting back on the horse and try again." Maybe divine intervention is of no use in this situation. I got my health, I employed as an LPN for four years, and I have the...
