    Did I pass NCLEX-RN?

    RN403 replied to rainborashi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, the wait is probably the worst part of the exam, honestly. RNsRwe is right...go do something to keep your mind off of the exam. Watch a funny movie, do the things you were wishing that you could...

    What to wear to lab/clinical training.

    RN403 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    We were allowed to wear scrubs or business casual clothes with a lab coat. I found it best to wear scrubs, though. It was easier to maneuver around and do things as you would in the hospital

    RN403 replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    Making Friends

    RN403 replied to BSNInProgress's topic in General Students

    RN403 replied to erinmc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, yes you can do it. I didn't graduate high school with a 4.0 or anywhere near it for that matter. I worked my behind off for a year to prove that I was "worthy'' of nursing school. I believe...
