Hi All, Recently took the NCLEX-PN. Positively certain I bombed it. So, I went to the Pearson Vue website to re-register to take another exam and got this message partway into it... "Our records...
Just got back from the Pearson Testing Center, where I completely bombed my first attempt at the NCLEX-PN. I made it to 88 questions before the screen went blank, but it was the questions I recieved...
Hi All, Just graduated from my LVN program, uh, about 12 minutes ago. lol. Already fixating on the upcoming invitation from the Board,much in the same way I fixated on the exiting ATI! Lordy,...
