    pearsonvue trick question

    WookieeRN replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It isn't the BON's decision to give you the money back or not. It is the test company's decision, really. Also, people have gotten charged in the past and still passed the exam, so this isn't a 100%...

    What classes have you taken for those 9 credits? I believe even for LPN to RN you will still need to complete the prerequisites for RN? As for schools, make sure any school you look at is

    Even $25k is a lot for LPN... If you're looking for ultimately going for RN, why not look into RN programs at the community college level. Much cheaper than

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    WookieeRN replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    I think the OP really needs to think about one thing: perception. I am not a nursing instructor, but I teach lifeguard training, CPR, and first aid. The lectures/videos are dry, I know first hand. If...
