  3. Took NCLEX today and stopped at 120-130 questions

    Melinurse replied to EwokRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Melinurse replied to NursingStudent!'s topic in General Nursing

    Melinurse replied to Baloney Amputation's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sounds like you got some conflicting info from the CEs there. :bugeyes:The CPNE is stressful enough as is without them adding to it. I'd write a letter documenting the conflict just as an FYI to them....

  21. My time is here

    Melinurse replied to it's hot in phoenix's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are very much normal. Sounds more like nerves than a need to reschedule. Relax and know that you have completed a nursing program and found by the school to be proficient enough to graduate. Good...
