    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to itssarayay's topic in Alabama Nursing

    No clinicals there isnt a choice. You go where they tell you to..and if you complain they tell you to get over it (although all schools are like that to my understanding). However, your last semester,...

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

    I may be mistaken, but i thought that if i was changing providers, they would not have to copy the chart, only give me the original, because i will no longer be using their service. I read this...

  11. ATI test

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to bjssk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is how it worked for us: Take test number one (which was conveniently scheduled for a day we did not have a class, so we had to find childcare, call into work, etc...). If you passed, great, if...

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to bjssk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to cm21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my experience with the comprehensive, it was very similar. In fact, some of the same questions i did in practice appeared on the comprehensive. I know that the questions are chosen at random, but...

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to stacimccomas's topic in General Students
