    mzjones6 replied to His_girl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  3. Hurst Review

    mzjones6 replied to His_girl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    mzjones6 replied to jennabeth12's topic in Illinois Nursing

    What do you mean exactly by they're hating on your ASN degree? I know that a BSN is preferred some places, but are they flat out saying you need your BSN to get a

  5. Anyone taken 265 and passed, even if they cried the whole way home from Pearson??

    mzjones6 replied to ccnursedee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. Living in Chicago on an RN salary

    mzjones6 replied to Catch-22 RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    mzjones6 replied to mzjones6's topic in First Year After Licensure
