    traumahawk99 replied to hsieh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    traumahawk99 replied to nurseredcalifornia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    go to mosby's site, pay for the online cat, and you'll have a very good idea how you'll do on the nclex. you can take it as many times as you like over 30 days. not bad for 40 bucks. the stats show...

  4. online course review

    traumahawk99 replied to seesha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    300 bucks is cheap if it does nothing except help your confidence. while i wouldn't do it, since i've already spent a hundred dollars on various review materials, i'd say it's well worthwhile. best...

  5. why freud

    traumahawk99 replied to hsieh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    heh. therapeutic touch is witchcraft. there's no solid science whatsoever behind it. i don't think you understand what this is. it's got nothing to do with traditional nursing and caring for a...

    traumahawk99 replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

  10. I Need To Talk To Someone About Excelsior

    traumahawk99 replied to Guest26407's topic in Online Distance Learning

    i think the real question is whether or not excelsior prepares someone for a career as an entry level registered nurse. and i'd say that medics, rn's, and rt's have enough education that the 10...

  11. why freud

    traumahawk99 replied to hsieh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    heh. like therapeutic touch. now there's an area where phd's in nursing programs have acheived lunar orbit, without the first bit of hard science. instead, you must have "absolute love in your...

  12. Admission to EC Nursing?

    traumahawk99 replied to sacrdhazel's topic in Online Distance Learning

    traumahawk99 replied to danigirl58's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    the above post is entirely accurate. as i've just done, i'd suggest investing in mosby's CAT for 40 bucks. that will give you a very good idea of where you stand, and what you need to work on....

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    traumahawk99 replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

  16. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    truly, i am sending the california board of nursing some garbage bags, along with instructions for use. if they follow the instructions, then california will have a better health care system

    traumahawk99 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

  19. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    traumahawk99 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning
