hang in there, you will do fine...

two of the easiest exams I ever took were nclex-rn, and then the nurse practitoner boards. Remeber they are testing you on GENERAL knowledge. The hardest exam I ever sat for was the GRE for grad school, but now that I am considering the "terminal degree", (phd), the GRE's ain't looking so tough anymore. I remeber when I first sat for the nclex to become a nurse 20+ years ago I thought, well, it's this or the phone company. I had a friend at the phone company who was making big money to my mere new nurse salary.

I have loved being a nurse and I hope you do too. It is a profession filled with more minuses than pluses but the pluses take you very far. My daughter is going to art school next year, but my son wants to pursue nursing...he will make a good nurse...helicopter nurse as he says!!
