    Spiral Femur Fx in toddler

    JustBeachyNurse replied to lahryn18's topic in Pediatric

    NCLEX Mastery App 1/2 off

    JustBeachyNurse replied to 203bravo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sharing a code that is good for all and you don't profit from is good. A referral link that you get 50c per person that clicks it not so good Sharing discounts may make it a little easier for someone...

    No RN License # But Passed NCLEX

    JustBeachyNurse replied to nursejackie2015's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In several states passing the NCLEX is just one step in the process and not a guarantee of a license. PVT is nothing more than a registration glitch I know a candidate that passed the NCLEX and was...
