    Nudity in healthcare classes education or violation?

    LadyFree28 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    THIS. I just find it baffling that this is no longer an issue...if your current program (are you even in one?) is requiring "practice" for lab, Is this an issue NOW, or are you apprehensive about that...

    LadyFree28 replied to _Skittles_'s topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    How hard/how much time is LPN/RN school?

    LadyFree28 replied to azurq123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    NCLEX-RN TIPS!

    LadyFree28 replied to jamiejohnson2007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Personally, I found the NCLEX-RN to be less intense than the NCLEX-PN. NCSBN gave the best questions, IMHO, as well as LaCharity. I used Saunders and Lippincott as resources too. Once you experienced...
