  4. Nclex New Rule????????????

    LiverpoolJane replied to caringkay RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    LiverpoolJane replied to Student Nurse Clark's topic in International Nursing

    I don't really know the answer but reading your comments on the fact that this is only the provisional mark and that so many others have failed, would be of some encouragement. I would wait and see...

  12. Info re setting up a nursing agency in the UK?

    LiverpoolJane replied to samraj08's topic in International Nursing

    You should look at the Healthcare commission website, pasted below, as I'm sure you would have to be regulated by them. I know when I worked in the private sector there seemed to be more strict...

    LiverpoolJane replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    LiverpoolJane replied to Whisper's topic in United Kingdom
