    Katie71275 replied to justgivemeastage's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  11. Nursing School: NCLEX Prep or Clinical Focus?

    Katie71275 replied to willowita's topic in General Students

  15. NCLEX Pass rate..Interesting..but accurate?

    Katie71275 replied to sockmonkey70's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I think the reason LA has such high NCLEX rates is b/c in general our programs are harder. I know at my school, 80% is the lowest C you can make without failing the class...Bc of that, many students...

    Katie71275 replied to maccheese's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  21. Confidence in clinicals

    Katie71275 replied to Katniss88's topic in General Students
