  1. My NCLEX Experience: Preparations, Study Tips, and Acing the Exam

    jtboy29 replied to lilmonsterkray's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    jtboy29 replied to Diehardsabre's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't give up. I know it's hard to fail twice however; you are definitely not the only one. Think about it if it was easy everyone would be going through Nursing School and sitting for the NCLEX. But...

    jtboy29 replied to jaytin3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. STUDENTS - do the nurses and docs talk down to you?

    jtboy29 replied to Veromin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jtboy29 replied to redsparklyshoez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
