  1. Help! Friend got 711 on HESI....

    stressgal replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    stressgal replied to DolphinRN84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. If you fail NCLEX, will you lose your job?

    stressgal replied to RNsRWe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My facility allows for two attempts at Nclex or 6 months, whichever comes first. I would check with your nurse manager or HR. We do not "work" as a nurse under the GN status, rather we work as a tech...

    stressgal replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
