hi! thanks! were u able to finish all of saunder's? i believe there are more or less 4,200.. :)

Theres still hope! There will always be hope! Lets just see things in a positive way. Maybe this happened as a motivation for us to study harder than ever! And become more knowledgeable and become the safest nurse we could ever be before we finally get our license and be considered a Registered Nurse.. :)

Hi neil! Sorry to hear that! Yeah, hvent seen a post from anyone here yet that the pvt went wrong.. Anyway, there's still hope as long as u havent received the official result yet..
