  1. Burned my flashcards today...

    wannabHishands posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, it's done. As I stood over the fire, I couldn't help but study them a little bit, looking them over one last time before I burned each one. It's a good thing that I gave some to my daughters...

    wannabHishands replied to wannabHishands's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. At what point do you say enough

    wannabHishands replied to anewday's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Rednights, I think the idea behind the relaxation is that as the test approaches, especially the day/night before, you start to think of everything you DON'T know, and you start to panic. If you keep...

    wannabHishands replied to Lisa1980's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. failed nclex, what DIDN'T you do the 1st time?

    wannabHishands replied to nurse1219's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    wannabHishands replied to sayang87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just another side of the same thread here... It would seem that the so-called "nursing shortage" is being followed by the so-called N.P. "shortage", meaning that many N.P.s and other Masters-prepared...

    wannabHishands replied to Hopeless2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
