    MrMango replied to DeLana_RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I've done both inpatient and outpatient dialysis. I left within the year but am considering going back... however I'm the opposite. I would never go back to inpatient HD. I loved the job very much and...

  4. Labs after dialysis

    MrMango replied to kristin10's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    MrMango replied to dream06's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    MrMango replied to Duncan6's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    MrMango replied to cocoabean1's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    MrMango posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hello to all my fellow nurses and future nurses! I finally passed my NCLEX-RN and I wanted to share my journey with you all in hopes that it can help at least one struggling person! I graduated and...

  11. Never Give Up -- My Story

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

    Perhaps it is a combination of both? I'm not sure how you can sit there and tell me that passion, desire, and the person you are are not components of a good nurse. I know plenty of nurses that passed...

  19. HURST ONLINE REVIEW

    MrMango replied to Littlelulu29's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The videos were alright... kind of a snoozefest. They follow the study guides you can print out and fill in almost to a T. Their Q-banks were good besides only getting six attempts.... I took Hurst...
