  17. 265 and worried!!

    Jamie2887 replied to hugrad's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  18. dispelling NCLEX myths

    Jamie2887 replied to Jamie2887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  22. Starting Nursing School

    Jamie2887 replied to AnnieSurv04's topic in General Nursing

    And another thing, how would you know where to begin? Theres 1000's of drugs, and our school asked for about 10 at a time, but we have no idea which 10 until the assignment is posted. You'd be better...

  23. Starting Nursing School

    Jamie2887 replied to AnnieSurv04's topic in General Nursing
