    JustBeachyNurse replied to LilyRN99's topic in Home Health

    I paid 200 dollars for pvt

    JustBeachyNurse replied to jancarlocastaneda's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There is a small chance. Do not try again. You must wait for quick results (if you can) or results from the BoN. The PVT is nothing more than a magic 8 ball guessing at your results. It may or may...

    Pearson Vue Trick as of August 2015

    JustBeachyNurse replied to cambrose's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It can take 2-4 weeks post application to get an ATT. I believe once you pass FL issued licenses pretty quickly. As far as test availability it's a fluid schedule and the further you are willing to...

    Crazy Parents

    JustBeachyNurse replied to maryel's topic in School

    It may be a huge liability. I'm shocked EMTs can give any medications other than EpiPen, glucagon & MDI (or asprin & nitro) even in the role of "school health assistant". You may want to check...
