    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    Do I need to change the board of Registered nursing when I move to different state?

    Well, in SN defense, yes, you are in the lab; but, there are multiple students needing to do those skills and each lab day, you do something different. Then, it's a hit or miss in clinical. Either you...
