  2. New nurses don't know enough?

    zimsaint replied to nurturer's topic in General Nursing

    It is just like with every other job one may take. You learn the theory of application, then you must actually learn to apply it. I don't think that it is true that "new nurses don't know enough";...

    zimsaint replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    zimsaint replied to Amber07's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    zimsaint replied to khanza's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  20. How Long Do I Need To Be A Cna To Challenge The Lvn Bords

    zimsaint replied to 126RT's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would venture to think that even if by some REMOTE chance you are allowed to take the LPN boards, you will not be able to pass. I just don't think you will have the knowledge base that LPNs acquire...
