In this testimonial video, instructor Damion Jenkins interviews Doris, a recent client who passed the NCLEX‑RN after multiple failed attempts. Doris describes her frustrating journey—confusion with practice questions, feelings of embarrassment, and the temptation to give up—until she discovered Damion’s program through a Google search. She chose the one‑on‑one tutoring option because she missed the accountability and study‑buddy support she had in nursing school. Doris praises the program’s online platform for being clear, concise, and free of cramming, noting that it simplifies the nursing process and aligns with the NCSBN test plan. She highlights the “game‑changing” impact of learning to connect the dots across question types (SATA, prioritization) by focusing on the nursing process rather than memorizing endless facts. Doris affirms that the program works for both first‑time and repeat test‑takers, saying she wishes she had found it earlier to save time and money. Damion reinforces his credibility (13 years as a nurse, 10 as an educator) and explains that the NCLEX measures critical‑thinking and test‑taking strategy, not overall nursing competence. The interview concludes with mutual congratulations, an invitation to future contact, and a recommendation for others on the fence to try the program.

Okay, Doris, congratulations again for passing the NCLEX-RN. You are now a registered nurse. Isn't this so exciting?
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Super excited. Finally, dream come true.
Awesome. So, you know, these testimonials, which you've seen before you joined my program, you know, which kind of led you to believe that this was something that you should go for, um, and thank you so much for taking the time to do one for those individuals who might be on the fence about the program, um, because there's so much out there they may not really understand, is this something that could help them? So just to let the viewers kind of understand, what was your NCLEX journey like and what caused you to reach out to, uh, Have My Services?
So, well, you know, I— it was frustrating. I was frustrated. I could not— I wasn't understanding. I wasn't connecting the dots. I was not doing well on the test questions or the practice questions. And so it had become frustrating to the point of I was giving up. I was like, okay, you know what, this is too much for me. I don't know, maybe I can just put it on the side and come back later. And then I was like, ah, okay, let me see. Let me just Google, random Google. Yeah. So, and hey, I'm so grateful that I did that.
Awesome. So, you know, how long were you in the process of trying to pass the NCLEX? And did you have multiple attempts? Was it your first attempt?
Oh yeah, I was. Yes, I did multiple attempts. And for me, it was, it's frustrating. It's also very, you feel kind of embarrassed. And at the same time, when you see other people have gone on with their lives, everyone is like, oh, Amen. The rest of your class has gone on to do things, and then, you know, you, you've done it, you failed, you've done it, you failed, and you're like, okay, all right, I can't do this again. So that was my journey. It was that whole, oh my God, I can't show my face to the world anymore, this is too much. Yeah, right.
So you Googled, you know, the stars aligned, you found me. So What was it when you went to my website and found me? What was it that kind of attracted you to give me a shot?
Oh, so for me, it was— first, I was like looking for a tutor, like someone who was a personal, a one-on-one tutor. Because for me, you know, when you leave nursing school, it's not— you no longer have a study buddy. You don't have that person who holds you accountable, the person that you're always with. Like, did you do your assignment? Did you do this? Did you do this? This is very different. And that's how that one-on-one person— that's how I got you, the one-on-one person, like a study buddy. And that is exactly what you were for me.
Got it. Thank you. I appreciate that. So I, you know, I really work hard to create an option where some people don't need that one-to-one and they just need kind of that formula, that, that design to kind of guide them to make sure that they are on the right track. And then I also have the program that offers the one-to-one tutoring sessions, which is what you took advantage of. And So for your time in the program, the first question I'm going to ask you about the program is what did you think about the way the information was presented? First and foremost, in the online platform that I worked very hard to put together, um, you know, how did you feel navigating through that content?
Well, I have to say it's super easy to understand. That's just— just— it's just that simple. It's very easy, straightforward to understand. It's not an overload of information, the way it's designed, the way it's, it's put together. There is no cramming. So it was— it's excellent. Honestly, that for me was super ideal because we're so used to cramming in nursing school and like, oh, I need to know this, I need to know this. And this program doesn't have any of that. So the platform is very, very, very, very wonderfully arranged.
Awesome, thank you. So, you know, one thing that I've noticed early in my nursing career is that I just kind of had a knack of breaking it down and making it very simple. And even remembering when I was a nursing student wondering, why are my professors making it so difficult? It doesn't have to be this difficult. And even working in the nursing programs that I worked for, trying to get my peers and my colleagues to kind of change the way we were teaching to just simplify the process, because I don't think it has to be as complicated as they seem to make it. You know, you know, now the NCLEX does not require you to be a walking encyclopedia. It's impossible for you to memorize all that information. So instead, you should really focus on what the NCLEX is actually challenging you on, which is understanding the roles and principles, rules and guidelines, how to think like a nurse, how to make sound judgments, you know, and not worry so much about every disease, every medication, every diagnostic, all of these things that you might not even see on the NCLEX because it's impossible to challenge you on everything you learn in nursing school. So they focus on the role of the nurse. That's always the main thing, the role of the nurse. What are you gonna do when you're presented with a certain situation? That's really all they care about. So you see that now. So awesome. If you were to say one thing about what makes my program worth someone getting on board, what was that one thing for you?
Wow, one thing?
You only get to choose one. We don't want to bore people with 20 minutes of testimonial.
All right. So it's one thing, okay, but I would say depending on the person, there's multiple things. I mean, even I have multiple things, but for me, I think the real game changer for me was the fact that, hey, listen, this you were telling me, and it is actually there on the program, that I didn't have to do all that cramming, which is so true. And I finally understood the nursing process and I was able to connect the dots, and it didn't matter No matter what topic I was studying, if I was taking SATA questions, if I was taking prioritization questions, as long as I understood the process, that was it. So that was a game changer for me. And the best— this, I know you said one, but this one, this, this is like a couple more nuggets if you like. Honestly, I would really highly recommend for everyone to really get it so that, you know, NCSBN, uh, the NCSB, yeah, the NCSBN test plan that you have created. Yes, that you have created, that is actually based off of the NCLEX Recommended Study Guide. That is legit. It is the best thing that I ever came across. It, it, it was life-changing for me. So hey, here I am, RN.
Here we are, RN, after multiple attempts, which, look, we've said before when we first talked before you got into my program, you know, which I always offer to everyone. If you ever want to get on a call with me and just kind of pick my brain and see if this is a good fit for you, I'm always willing to do that. But, you know, I know where the gaps are because one, I've been a nurse for over 13 years. I've been a nurse educator for 10 of those 13 years. I've taught in all levels of nursing and I've studied very diligently the NCLEX. So I understand where those gaps are. And I know for a fact that nursing school just misses the mark on many ways of making sure that this information is presented in such a simple and concise way that it makes sense instead of forcing you to try to figure it out on your own. And now that you're out of school and you're trying to pass this exam, some people do well the first attempt, some people do well the second attempt, some people have multiple attempts. It is not a measure of how good of a nurse you are, your competence level, you know, how compassionate you are, your intentions to be excellent and to prevent harm and to protect the public It has no real measurement of that. It simply is just a measure of critical thinking and test-taking strategy. And you see that now.
Yes, sir. Finally, I see that.
Finally. All right.
I have the light.
You got it. That's so exciting. And in New York, the big city, you're going to be here soon enough. It's exciting. So look, one final question. One final question. Do you think that my program is designed for both first-time test takers and repeat test takers? Because a lot of— I know from my own experience that a lot of first-time test takers don't think they need it. What would you tell them?
Well, I would tell them, I wish I had this program. Like, I think this program is— it doesn't matter if you're a first-time test taker or repeat test taker like I was, multiple repeat test taker. Really, this program is designed for everyone. I wish I knew about this program right from the start, because if I did, it would have made the entire difference. It would have saved me time, it would have saved me money, and I would have connected the dots that I did earlier than, than I did. So this is a program for everyone, no matter your style of study, or if you're first time, or if you're multiple test taker. Yep.
Awesome. Well, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with my NCLEX Strategies for Success program. Again, I have a self-paced option. I also have a tutoring option, um, and I even have a very affordable study guide that's only $23 that I know you also helped yourself to in addition to being in my program, which you didn't have to, but you found it to be very helpful to have everything kind of in one spot for you to use kind of as your final preparations to get ready for the test after we've gone through all of the steps that we needed to, to show that you were ready. So congratulations again, Registered Nurse Doris!
Yeah, so much, Damion! I wouldn't have done it without you. I'm really grateful for this program, so I recommend it to anyone and everyone. This is something that you actually carry forward in your future. Not just for now. I'm in! Yay!
Awesome, thank you so much, and thank you for saying that last thing. It is true, the skills that you develop in this program won't only help you pass the exam, but they'll also make you a better nurse. They'll help you to critically think on the floor, how to juggle your priorities, really understand what your roles and responsibilities are, so that way when you're thrown into the fire like many of us are, you'll feel much more prepared on how to make those decisions because you have those fundamental concepts down pat, which is sometimes takes years for us to learn when we hit the floor running. So awesome, thanks again, Doris. I can't wait to meet up so we can have a drink and celebrate in person because we are here in the same city. So I'll be reaching out to you soon. Thanks again for doing this for everyone who might be on the fence. It's not for me, um, I'm successful way. I'm director, you know, assistant director of nursing, director of education. I've been doing this for years. I have my RN license, so this is really because we need more high-quality nurses in the field. And so I knew that I could help people, and I'm so glad I was able to help you too. So awesome, thank you so much. Have a good night. We'll be in touch.
