    JustinTJ replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  2. Really dumb externship question,etc..

    JustinTJ replied to ERsn's topic in General Nursing

    Exact same scenario, but I was paid $14+$2 for nights. Worked until I had my ATT, then started precepting as a GN. Last week became a RN, and I was the only new grad hired. It helps to get your foot...

  3. Those who just took the NCLEX

    JustinTJ replied to Kay_lpn2rn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

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

    JustinTJ replied to dmsperle09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
