  1. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    StudyinginCT replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No idea if it's coincidence - Took NCLEX on Tuesday, came home thinking I had definitely failed in 75 questions. Wasn't sure whether to vomit or cry. Found this thread - tried it. Got the "good"...

  2. Did ATI help you on the NCLEX?

    StudyinginCT replied to allsmiles2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. Nurse who needs an EMT-B cert. questions

    StudyinginCT replied to StudyinginCT's topic in Emergency

    agree that it would enhance my skills, but my budget for time and money don't allow that. I'm aware of the differences. However, like most patient care, you truly only learn how to do it when you're...

  8. UCONN MbEIN Class of 2010

    StudyinginCT replied to ELFMwife's topic in Connecticut Nursing
