I am a male nursing student who recently graduated with an ADN. I am going back in the spring to pursue my BSN. I have been told that obtaining your BSN is not nearly as bad as obtaining an ADN. I'm just wondering if this is true. I would love to...

I feel bad for you and your situation. We have all been young and made mistakes. I would imagine that it would be tough for you to get a position as an R.N. If im looking at it from an HR view, why would I want to hire somebody that I have to send...
If you are worried about retaliation, My suggestion would be to request to be in another clinical group. Win-Win situation. Your fellow students who do not want to speak up and do the right thing will pay the price later, if they even make it throu...

I think that you are over thinking it. The key to passing NCLEX is to take the test no more then 3 months after graduation. The sooner, the better. 86% pass the test on the first attempt. You have to be confident that you know the material, and yo...
Hopefully you scheduled your test for the time of day your brain is at its best. I scheduled my test at 8 am and drove there telling myself that today is the day I'm going to make it official! You have to be confident! I took my test in August of...
