  1. Computer cut off in 75 questions

    Dohardthings replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's easy to say that now, after the fact, but try not to worry. I stayed up way too late convincing myself that I failed. Like I said, there really is no way to guess or know whether you passed....

    Dohardthings replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just passed yesterday with 75Q. And I wished I learned before taking the test is that, half you got wrong and half you got right. That's it's job as the test, is to find out at what level where...

  6. Nursing school with young kids

    Dohardthings replied to MNSS's topic in General Students

    Do not use Care.com or at least as a good reliable source because the people that I have tried to hire out of there are total flakes or no shows. Good Luck. And if it were me, I would use day care...

  7. Scared to start nursing school

    Dohardthings replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I tell people how tough nursing school is, it is not to say that my instructors are not excellent, they are. In generally so are all my fellow nursing students too. I tell people that I spend...

  8. Feeling Lonely

    Dohardthings replied to juneybug's topic in General Students

    I am sure there are others out there that feel just as lonely. I would start trying to set up study sessions with the older people that you like and see what comes of it. My "Study Buddies" are the...

  9. Should I go to nursing school

    Dohardthings replied to Loan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't say whether you should do nursing. However I will say this as a current nursing student, being a nurse is like being a mom. Pay is crap in comparison to other professions (except education)...

  10. Cut my losses or see it through?

    Dohardthings replied to snakes251's topic in General Students

    Dohardthings replied to sprint831's topic in General Students

    Dohardthings replied to NewKillerStar's topic in General Students

  18. Grade Questions!

    Dohardthings replied to sgemmalynn's topic in General Students

    Dohardthings replied to God'sLittleNurse2b's topic in General Students
