6 NCLEX lessons

After not passing the NCLEX-RN twice, I am happy to say I have finally passed the NCLEX-RN on the third try, all thanks to Maria! Maria is the only person who really made sure to tailor my NCLEX review sessions to my needs, so that I only focused on my weak spots. During our first meeting, Maria was very thorough and assessed where my weak spots were in terms of content, and she assessed how I was answering questions so she could give me guidance on where I needed to improve.
