    Glenna, LPN replied to pockunit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had a roller coaster of emotions while I was taking my NCLEX-PN. Some questions I knew, others I felt so-so about, and some I just wanted to cry while I answered them. It took me 2.5 hours to answer...

    Glenna, LPN replied to SnowbirdinFL's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Glenna, LPN replied to KCRustin's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Glenna, LPN replied to katrene555's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Glenna, LPN replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students
