   ydnewrn replied to aiaa's topic in NCLEX

   I passed the NCLEX-RN with 75 questions and my cumulative score after doing 900 questions was 57%. My scores ranged from 55% to 60%. Don't focus on the score, review rationales and do as many questions as you can. Good luck :)

    ydnewrn replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think nurses get paid for having students on the floor for only one day, but they get extra pay if they preceptor a student. My preceptor in my pre-grad got paid $0.65 per dollar more when I was with her. I live in Toronto, Ontario (Canada). ...

    ydnewrn replied to ydnewrn's topic in Canada

    Hi @dishes, you might be right actually, about me misreading the posting. But now my question is, why would they put it on the posting if all programs require you take an Assessment course? is it maybe for the more experienced nurses who finished sch...
