  1. soo nervous about nclex, need some guidance

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to sstei5988's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    your U World scores and GPA are similar to mine, while I found NCLEX to be stressful, I didn't find it to be hard, it was easy compared to the tests I had in school. I passed in 76

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to RnPR's topic in General Nursing

    I have gotten a needle stick from a vaccine injection. Its a low risk needle stick but you definitely need to get it checked. Don't be embarrassed, I had been giving injections for 5 years prior to my...

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to MsBrain's topic in General Nursing

  7. new grad, confused, discouraged, overwhelmed, nervous, 2nd guessing

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to AnnaBanana60137's topic in General Nursing

  8. Tough predicament, need guidance

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    I just graduated from a really respected community college nursing program with really low pass rates -- it's in the 60's-70's. In 2013, for my state, they changed the NCLEX. Since then, most of the...

  9. Job offer without telling me pay rates

    SaltySarcasticSally replied to nekoneko's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That is really strange and I just went through the hiring process for a new grad residency. I knew the pay before I accepted the job, it was on my job offer form. I agree that it may be because it's...
