    MikeyBSN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm taking my NCLEX on the 7th and I feel like I should be more worried. I did pretty well in school, passed the HESI with a 1038 or something like that but I don't think that's the reason. I don't...

    MikeyBSN replied to 05NRSE's topic in Nursing Career

    The pay rate for ASN and BSN is the same, but as I've told other people on here I would be careful about going for an Asn now. Many, many hospitals I interviewed with told me they were no longer...
