  7. NCLEX After 7 years

    Party_of_five replied to TryAgain2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'd say you need content review. Hurst is excellent and has both online and Live classes. But first I'd do a PP mentioned and check with your BON. 7 years is a long time. Good

    Party_of_five replied to leonard_huh's topic in General Nursing

  14. Knoxville, TN pay

    Party_of_five replied to Meridethtay's topic in Nursing Career

    Party_of_five replied to tortillaRN17's topic in General Nursing

    I am a huge fan of the 21 Day Fix. It is a workout and nutrition plan. It's not a quick fix like the name implies but rather it teaches you how to eat the right foods in the right portions and you do...
