Some of the most passionate people who have created great things were bipolar. You just need to learn how to react to it when you know it is coming. Think of it as a flare up. My mother is bipolar and she is awesome. When she is manic she is so creat...

I took this test while in school and it said a had a 96% chance of passing the first time. I took the NCLEX and I passed on the first time. All I did after graduating was use the Saunders CD for 2wks before the test.

Just because I'm NOSEY. I tried it. I tested for LVN a month ago in California and should have my results any day now. I went in to re-register and after entering my info it kicked me out. YIPPIE! I knew I passed anyway.. hehe
yes, they are a pain in the rear. When I was in the LVN program I always wondered why there was not a class on nursing care plans and labs. I guess because you get a little bit with each system. I'll tell you what is cool, get the care plan flash ca...
