    Quota replied to Carol Ebert's topic in General Nursing

    Your biggest backlash comes from your vague talk of sugar cleanse and detox. None of those articles address that. I don't believe anyone disputed that too much sugar is bad and linked to negative...

    Schools grading scale

    Not Studying & Passing NS

    Quota replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in General Students

    I'd only really worry if you aren't retaining the information and forget it all by the time you take the NCLEX. People study and learn differently. I'm sure some of my classmates spend less time...
