The Start of a New School Year
Not too long ago, I was preparing to start my first day of nursing school and I remember how nervous I was walking into that lecture hall. However, as time went on our fear began to fade and we began to grow into our new roles as nursing students. Before we knew it, we were graduating and preparing to take NCLEX. Please join me as I reminisce about my journey as you prepare to start your own.

You will not learn anything in the conference room!
With no humility whatsoever, I can say that you, as a student, WANT me to be your nurse on clinical days. If you've shown me that you want to do stuff, I will give you the opportunity to do stuff.

I Passed NCLEX!! Sharing What I Did...
We see all the time on allnurses how people graduate with honors, do Kaplan / Hurst / PDA Reviews, answer hundreds of questions and hit the benchmarks and still fail this exam - sometimes multiple times! I can tell you what I did but this test is so bizarre and thousands have done what I did and more, and did not pass it.

My biggest tip is probably that there really isn't only one way, but that there are multiple ways to pass this exam.
