   RachNurse replied to nervousnurse's topic in Nursing Career

   How about sleep medicine? That's what I did for 12+ years while I was raising my kids and waiting for the right time to accomplish my ultimate goal, which was nursing. I am a Registered...

   RachNurse replied to delerben's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Congrats on passing!! I would debate the idea that "you will get credit for the second best answer". That is not true. What the NCLEX DOES do, is narrow you down to a competency where you have a...

   RachNurse replied to navynursejoy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

8. Help! I didn't make it out of orientation

   RachNurse replied to Superstar1182's topic in General Nursing

   I disagree with that, that is not always the case. I have left one employer off my resume, and you will never convince me I should put it back on. No employer has ever questioned whether I have had...

    All right folks, I took my NCLEX-RN this morning, got the good pop-up (yay me), and just wanted to offer a couple of thoughts. First of all, the BEST advice I can give is to NOT do what I did last...
