   Well, not really. You have missed the point. She passed NCLEX because she was able to finish her nursing program, but she did not go through a program twice. She was simply able to finish...

   GracyMae replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

   Yep. A friend of mine didn't make the required score on her ATI tests, got kicked out and had to go through all this red tape and finally ended up in a bridge program that did not use ATI and when...

   Yes. You are correct - your comment doesn't HAVE to be constructive or helpful or anything - it can be just as condescending and judgmental and as stating-the-obvious and as unhelpful as you want it...

    GracyMae replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students
