    jvanwoman replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    jvanwoman replied to Guest862922's topic in Florida Nursing

  6. Looking for insight on military nursing!

    jvanwoman replied to obnurse406's topic in Government, Military

    Actually your years as a nurse do count toward your rank. You should check out the government/military nurse board instead of the general nursing. There is lots of good info on that

  9. IV questions

    jvanwoman replied to schrutefarms's topic in General Nursing

    jvanwoman replied to UTcat05's topic in Government, Military

    jvanwoman replied to KrisDRN2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, I graduated on December 16th too but I took the NCLEX on January 6th. I figured that I should have learned enough in nursing school to be able to pass the test and fortunately I did. I passed with...

    jvanwoman replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

  22. FAILED first clinical evaluation head to toe

    jvanwoman replied to jpd1g's topic in General Students

  23. What speciality would you like to get into post-graduation?

    jvanwoman replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    I hate this question and I get it a lot since I graduate in less than 2 months. I hate it because I don't have a nursing dream job. I love that there are so many areas that I can go into, but nursing...
