    nycNurse2b replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Anyone hospitals hiring new grads for NICU?

    nycNurse2b replied to mcpnurse's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    nycNurse2b posted a topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Just Sharing My NCLEX Experience

    nycNurse2b posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I tested this morning at 8am. Like most others, I was baffled by the test. My questions seemed so random and so unrelated to a new nurse's role. I certainly DO NOT feel that this was a 'basic...

    nycNurse2b replied to 2008SN's topic in New York Nursing
