    shock-me-sane replied to MrsCD's topic in General Students

    shock-me-sane posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    shock-me-sane replied to shock-me-sane's topic in Florida Nursing

  20. Second Guessing

    shock-me-sane replied to ThinkRNin2009's topic in General Students

    I would say practice with a TON of NCLEX style questions. Learning how to take those tests are a great challenge. I wouldn't say that you should "go with your gut" but learn how to think through that...

  21. Level of Training

    shock-me-sane replied to meditate's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know which area is best, but loma linda, highlands and redlands are REALLY far from APU. You need to look into at least chino area, better would be covina and azusa itself. Good luck! ps -...
