    sproeber89 replied to paramed1's topic in General Students

    sproeber89 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

  10. Any suggestions for NCLEX flashcards?

    sproeber89 replied to pezfor2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  11. Ideas on studying for Nclex, esp when to start studying?

    sproeber89 replied to lovenursing1218's topic in General Students

    sproeber89 replied to Mtru11's topic in General Students

    sproeber89 replied to queenjulie's topic in General Students

    A major part of nursing is CNA work, at a hospital they often don't have CNA's always on duty. You will end up doing the toileting, ADL's, etc. Plus, you will be a better nurse if you are able to do...

    sproeber89 replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students
