    I also agree with OCRN3 that it's who you know. My friend failed her NCLEX the first time & then once she passed it couldn't find a job to save her life. She didn't even get a call back from the...

    Clinical drama-question about personal property

    CajunShrimp84 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I'm still pre-nursing and will be 30 once I begin nursing school. Now I'm nervous...is it really going to be like this?! If so, I might as well just quit now & follow a different career

    How old were you when you started nursing school?

    CajunShrimp84 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students
