    DaVita Village

    SuperStarRN replied to Islnd_RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Failed Rn boards 4 times

    SuperStarRN replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Taking the LPN boards will not be any easier. In fact, I have talked to many RN's who were LPN's first and every one of them has said that the LPN boards are much harder than the RN boards. To be...

    Is it hard, time consuming, or both?

    SuperStarRN replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    The people who I know that failed out were either not 100% committed and focused or just didn't get it. It requires a lot of sacrifice of your time with friends and family that some people were not...

    SuperStarRN posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    After 1 Year I am SICK of Dialysis

    SuperStarRN replied to SuperStarRN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    You'll notice that I said MANY are noncompliant. Not ALL. As far as the environment goes I put on my smile and do my job above and beyond so if there is an unpleasant environment it is not one of my...

    SuperStarRN replied to chesara's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Am I the only one reading this thread? They gave you a ticket to retest simply because you sent them a letter stating that you really "felt" that you had passed? What state do you live in so that I...
