    CharleeJo.RN replied to -alwaysbelieve-'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. GREAT DEAL of embarassment....thanks BON.

    CharleeJo.RN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with Suesquatch. You cannot blame the BON for your failure; that's just a defense mechanism, as we nurses know. You have to take responsibility for your life and the outcomes of your actions....
