    Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    elijahvegas replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    elijahvegas replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Pearson vue trick was wrong - 2016

    elijahvegas replied to Ashley_d's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lol one of the reasons it "didn't work" was because you did it very wrong. Chances are you read a thread from before 2014. You have to hit submit to get any kind of popup, good or bad, which you...

    elijahvegas replied to NurseMari22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Dress Codes for School

    elijahvegas replied to kidzcare's topic in School
