4. Kaplan-RN Review Class vs. Online Review

   neverbethesame posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I would like to hear from those of you who have taken one or both of them. I am trying to decide between the in-person review class or the online review. They are both $499 so it isn't the price...

7. Clinical Instructor Dilemma

   neverbethesame replied to Katbird2014_RN's topic in General Students

12. Failed Maternity Clinical? :(

    neverbethesame replied to BanannaFish's topic in General Students

    Keep going up the chain of command. The fact that she didn't follow the handbook to let you know that you had been warned is key here. How could you improve something that you didn't know about?...
