Student Nurse Mentor & Certified EKG Instructor
HOW THIS WHOLE THING CAME TO BE...
Before Helping Multiple Successful Nursing Students
Excel I Was The "Drone" Nursing Student Working Too
Hard & Eventually I FAILED OUT of Nursing School.
Before Helping Hundreds of Struggling Nursing Students Reach Graduation Day & Before Becoming a
Student Nurse Mentor & Certified EKG Instructor, I Myself Was A Struggling "At Risk" Student Nurse
Drowning In My Books & Lost In Clinical.
I was that struggling student working full time in the Emergency Room at one of those
MEGA hospitals in Orange, California. I worked as an EMT aka a "medic" for 8 years
prior to failing out. I knew how to take care patients, I knew the basics of the ABCs of
basic life support, I knew how to take vital signs and how to fix minor injuries. I thought I
had enough experience to skate right through nursing school, I remember thinking "how
hard can it be" right?
After two semesters, I FAILED out of the Program.
I felt defeated, depressed and like a loser. It was one of the lowest points of my life.
Sitting in my room practically bawling my eyes out, I remember quotes my mom and
dad used to encourage me with, "son, whatever doesn´t kill you, Makes you Stronger" &
" Failing is Not a Bad Thing, As long as learn, become better, and NEVER EVER QUIT"

My Clinial FAILURE form had bold red letters stating:
LACK In Prepared
LACK Organizational Skills
LACK Critical Thinking with Nursing Process
Ending with:
"able to return next semester contingent upon demonstrating INCREASED
COMPETANCIES in these core areas."
"NEVER GIVE UP!!" my mom & dad used to tell me, so I set out on a Quest
to develop a system to make Simplify Nursing School!
What Happened Next Might Surprise you,
In a systematic way to put all the "core competencies" of nursing school that instructors look for to pass
students. My quest was to make it SIMPLE first and foremost, by cutting out the fluff and getting down to
the nitty critty making it easier.
The Goal Was To Make A Simple System...
And the best part is it was really helping myself and other students in my class pass their tests when I would
share with them my strategies and systems to help them pass their tests without having to memorize
everything in the book!
This is where my mentoring for student nurses began.
That's when something clicked and everything changed for me.
It was like I had an Ah - HA moment!
At that moment I realized there are better, more predictable, and more low cost ways to get higher test
scores and have more critical thinking skills than the money I had been spending on dead end study
books that claimed to help but really just confuse me more.
I needed simplicity!!!
Within the next six months I had created over 27 different student help systems, strategies and tactics
that produced better results for me - some better than others.
Then over the next few semesters I tracked, tested, and tweaked each system until my students were
passing with a 82% or better on each and every test, 2 students being out of School for over 25 years &
coming back to score 94% on their EKG cardiac test! Truly amazing & truly making me proud to be their
mentor.
