    JamieLeeRN replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    JamieLeeRN replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    you may want to reconsider...as long as the school has a good NCLEX passing rate it would be worth it. My school did exit exams, and an exam to gauge how we were doing every semester, but they have...
