This is, without a doubt, the most ridiculous thing I've read on this site today. All animals have souls, but non-human animals exist only to be your meals? You can't have it both ways. Either animals...
I'm with Deb, I was pleased with the length of my exam (although it took me 41 minutes to get through those 75 questions... I remember most vividly being irritated because I had paid for a full day of...
It took me 3 years total for my ADN. Some are a little longer, some a little less. I took most of my pre-reqs before starting the nursing portion of the program. As another poster mentioned, you...

It doesn't matter, as long as she receives it. Your last day should be 2/4 weeks from the day your NM receives the resignation. In my experience, resignation notices for nurses are required to be 4...
