In this inspiring episode of Pulse Check, Dr. Morgan Taylor sits down with former Archer student, Tez, to talk about the highs, lows, and unexpected pivots in her nursing journey. From getting rejected from PA school to thriving in a fast-paced ABSN program, Tez shares how she found her path in nursing, why she chose Archer Review for NCLEX prep, and how she stayed grounded during one of the most stressful seasons of her life. 

Whether you’re starting nursing school, prepping for the NCLEX, or already practicing, this episode will remind you why you chose this path—and how much is possible when you keep going. 

You’ll hear: 

• How Tez pivoted from EMT to nursing after a major career curveball 

• What surviving a 15-month ABSN program really looks like 

• Study tips, mindset resets, and how the Pomodoro technique made all the difference 

• A real-talk breakdown of NCLEX prep, anxiety, and why she chose Archer 

• Why 150 questions on the NCLEX doesn’t mean you failed—and what can happen next 

This one’s for every student who’s doubting themselves, every new grad powering through, and every nurse who needs a reminder that the hard parts are worth it.
