Ok so you think it's possible that at 12:30 that is the end of my day?? I would call the hospital but HR is closed by now!! and it's tomorrow!! Maybe I'd be safe in scrubs...but I don't want to seem unprofessional!!

I took the Hesi and got a 890. Did anyone else here take the hesi? If so what was your score and then, did you pass the NCLEX? thanks!

I feel like my anxiety/stress level couldn't be higher as I try and study for this thing..always feel like I never have enough time to study although I"ve been doing at least 100 questions per day for the past month...is it even worse (the stress/anx...

Take a break..I feel like I"m sucking during the past few questions too but I think it's cause I"m just burnt out..I"m not even putting as much effort into reading the questions and I"m tired...don't want to be like that for the real deal so if your ...
