Viridiana graduated nursing school and expected she would do just fine on her NCLEX…only she didn’t. She failed not once, but twice, and almost gave up on ever becoming a nurse. Luckily, she had a few very supportive people around her who encouraged her to try one more time! That’s when she found the NCLEX Coaching Program through Your Nursing Tutor. In today’s episode, I’m interviewing Viridiana so that you can learn what she went through on her nursing journey, discover how she overcame TWO NCLEX failures to finally become an RN, and what her new future looks like during this next phase of her nursing journey!
