  1. Have anybody just used Kaplan and passed?

    buttercupp85 replied to FlyAcrossOcean's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    buttercupp85 replied to TtotheAna's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It really depends on the quarter what Fridays are like. For simulations, they are usually 4 hours, either in the morning or afternoon. I think I only had one simulation that was more of an all day...

    buttercupp85 posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    buttercupp85 replied to runslikeanose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. What kind of stethoscope should I get for nursing school?

    buttercupp85 replied to FLhusker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
