    Cathylady posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My daughter ( she's not on Allnurses) passed the NCLEX today at 80 questions! I've been reading these boards now for four years as she went through the BSN program and then after she graduated in May...

  2. Help, my school won't allow me to take Nclex.

    Cathylady replied to Jdv13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Cathylady replied to Cathylady's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Since none of her classmates have received an ATT she's assuming that her university is the hold-up. Both her university and the BON ring busy constantly. She's been studying like crazy since she...

    Cathylady replied to Cathylady's topic in General Students

    THANKS!! Yes, she worked hard during school between classes and her job but it all paid off. My understanding is that Magnet hospitals are allowed to hire a percentage of BSN new grads and ADN new...

    Cathylady posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I miss all the threads of pre-nursing students waiting to hear if they've been accepted into their nursing program of choice. I miss the play-by-play accounts of folks that have nail-biting...

    Cathylady posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Cathylady replied to Cathylady's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just wondered. I thought that since Walmart has the blood pressure machine and folks can use that if they wanted to then what would be the difference. As I said, it is not an assisted living...
