    dannygirl04 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX this morning and this wait is killing me. I mentioned doing the PVT thing to my hubby and he said "don't you dare do that". I'm terrified the results will be false and I'll either be...

    That makes me feel sick thinking I spent that much money on a pair of Ariats when I could have gotten Danskos and the Ariats are probably already shot. I usually don't work 2 days in a row (my...

    What would you change about your scrubs??

    dannygirl04 replied to jessk2323's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
