    LVHI_RN replied to akayne88's topic in General Nursing

    LVHI_RN replied to rowdysmomma's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    LVHI_RN replied to mina4848's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's a good sign. That's what is referred to as the Pearson Vue Trick. If you get that pop up, it means you passed. If it takes you to the credit card page, you failed. Congrats! I'm sure you got...
