    alyiana replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    alyiana replied to alyiana's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  11. Is it hard, time consuming, or both?

    alyiana replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    Have you done the remediation associated with the Exit exam? I took the RN one, but I'm sure the PN one has it too. Even if it's different questions, it will help you identify areas of weakness so you...
