Week 1

I graduated in 2020. I had some things happen that had to be taken care of with my license before I could test. I got them taken care of after 2 1/2 years. I took my NCLEX February of this year and failed. I was not prepared. I was all over the place studying. I’m not one to do well with online, come-as-you-please programs. Also being a LPN for 16 years makes it hard to answer the questions because it is so much different from what my experiences are. It’s hard to unlearn things you have been doing for so long. 

This time I’m more motivated because after the struggle with school and covid I have overcome so much and I need to do this for me. I spent too much time and money on school to just say f-it! This class will help me stay motivated by holding me accountable and having time scheduled to take the classes. This is what I’m doing differently. Also it’s another financial commitment and I don’t have money to give away. So I’m here focused and ready to become the RN I know I can be. 

Week 2

I’m feeling ok after week 2. I could be doing better. Trying to manage my time and fit everything in is really hard. I have improved on studying overall. It’s been a long time since I’ve completed 50 questions in one sitting. My scores are progressing. And I’m starting to understand what I’ve been doing wrong when it comes to answering questions. 

Gaps would be just me making more time for this and studying more. Between my kids and my daycare kids and my relationship, I’m tired. But I know this has to be my main focus right now. I am confident that it will all come together in the end and I will be an RN in a few weeks.

Week 4

Yes, I think passing the NCLEX is achievable for me. I feel better and more prepared than before. I have been putting me first and actually studying. I continue to have time management issues. But it has gotten way better. My kids understand I’m trying to get something achieved so they leave alone while I study. Not completely but they respect my time more. Also, another class mate reached out for help so in helping her study I will get extra study time in as well.

Week 6

(Update from Nurse Nick) Makisha was killing it in class…  Her scores improved dramatically when she focused on herself.  She did not do a reflection this week because she became very confident.  She decided to move her test date up!!!!  AND as anticipated……   Crushed it.  It was a great surprise to the group when she logged in to the last class and let them know she received her official pass notification from the board of nursing. 

Post pass the NCLEX Makisha

I am so thankful that I found CodeBreaker. I graduated nursing school and 2020 during Covid, had some obstacles I had to overcome in order to be eligible to test. I became eligible and in 2023 took my NCLEX for the first time and failed.  I found CodeBreaker a couple months later I took the six week class with awesome videos, wonderful informative pharmacology lectures, zoom meetings and two our study sessions. I would not have passed my NCLEX and been as confident.  I knew I was going into the test  prepared to pass it. If it had not been for Nick and CodeBreaker I would not have been prepared to pass. I tried all the others so please don’t make the same mistake I did. Sign up for CodeBreaker first and you won’t need anyone else. I highly recommend this study session to anyone who needs help passing. If your confidence is a little off, or just need the knowledge, or refresher this is the program for you. I learned more in this class than I learned in my whole two years of nursing school to become a RN. I am so thankful for Nick and CodeBreaker NCLEX, if you are in need of a  NCLEX prep session, this is definitely the one.
