2. New Nurse- possible agency nurse?

   all_good_names_gone replied to Aporter004's topic in Texas Nursing

   I concur with kimmymom, I used Saunders book and CD every free minute I had. Discipline yourself to do 100 per night starting now. I used the NCSBN website for two weeks, i hated it at the time...

8. Should I buy the NCSBN study course for the pnclex?

   all_good_names_gone replied to camib11's topic in LPN, LVN Students

9. is it just me?

   all_good_names_gone replied to lorabel's topic in First Year After Licensure

    all_good_names_gone replied to RN808's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am also a bit hearing impaired in the high frequencies, I love mine. I would not trade it for anything. Yes it takes a bit of getting used to hanging around the neck but it is a well designed and...
