    Took the test 4 weeks ago but I have not received any letter saying if I passed or failed!

    Extra Pickles replied to jahnjermaine's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    it's the board of nursing that sends you an authorization to test, not the testing center company so it's the board you need to contact. it used to be you needed the ATT in order to schedule an exam,...

    Extra Pickles replied to madricka's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a law on minimum hours for PRN employees

    Extra Pickles replied to Maustin89's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a law on minimum hours for PRN employees

    Extra Pickles replied to Maustin89's topic in General Nursing

    Will I be looked down upon?

    Extra Pickles replied to GaJenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the problem will be them looking down on you because of lack of experience, I think the problem will be that you will have just started a job where they are investing time and resources...
