All right guys, so sorry about that. Um, I got disconnected by my cat. My cat jumped up on desk and just messed my computer all up and I got disconnected. So as I was just wrapping up the 2-hour NCLEX plan, um, optimization— how you can optimize your time with your NCLEX study plan— the last thing I was about to say is that you We need to know when to seek expert assistance or expert guidance. Too many of us struggle with trying to figure it out on our own, and we don't want to invest our time or our money in working with other people. Sometimes our pride gets in the way and we think that we can just do it all on our own. But I'll tell you, I've spent more time and money trying to figure it on my own than when I just invest in that initial expert. Like, when I wanted to get my master's degree, I needed tutors. I needed people to help me because I couldn't figure it out on my own. Um, you know, when I want to get certifications, when I wanted to buy a house, when I wanted to gain more financial intelligence surrounding my business and how I can optimize my financial situation so I can make money and grow my business, I need mentors, I need coaches, I need tutors, I need help. When I wanted to get CE approved so I can give continuing nursing education credits for those people who sit through my trainings if they already have their license, I needed help. I had to hire a professional to help me figure it out. When I need legal advice, I have to pay a lawyer, right? When I need medical advice, I have to go see a doctor. I have to seek out expert guidance. And so it's really important that if you're feeling stuck, if you're feeling like you don't know which way to go, if you're feeling like you can't make sense of it, you don't know what you're doing wrong, you need expert guidance. So I would really welcome you to give me a call, you know, or schedule a call. You can go to thenursespeak.com/contact and you can get in touch with me. I would love to have a conversation with you and see how I can better serve you and help you get on track so that way you can find your way to NCLEX success. As promised, for all of you who are attending this presentation, and I'll post this link for anyone who, um, may have wanted to stay to the end and got disconnected, I really want to offer you a, um, discount to get into my program if you're not already in my NCLEX Strategies for Access program, I want to give you a discount. I'm going to put it in the comments section of this video, and I'm going to leave this posted publicly on my YouTube account so that way everyone who sees this video can get access. I did want to make it a very special, um, kind of offering, but of course the Wi-Fi got disconnected before I can offer that. Maybe next time I'll offer it in the beginning so people can get access to it right from the beginning. But you know, lessons learned. We all have ways that we can improve our process. So anyhow, so if you use the coupon code PASSNCLEX15 at checkout, it will give you 15% off of either my self-paced option or my tutoring option, either one that you want to have access to. Now, if you're a repeat test taker or if you're someone that really benefits from being face-to-face like, like we are right now, maybe a Zoom call, I can walk you through, give you a little bit more kind of breakdown of how you can master these strategies so that way you can find success. The tutoring option is for you, right? Repeat test takers, people who struggle, international nurses who are struggling with understanding the differences between nursing there versus here., the tutoring option would benefit you most. Uh, but you know, if you're, if you feel like you're, you're pretty with it, you feel like your scores are pretty good, you have a good understanding of a lot of the things that, um, I cover in my videos or, um, a lot of the other NCLEX prep resources provide, then at a minimum I would recommend the self-paced option to wait. That way you know you're being validated for your understanding of the process. Do you really understand how to go through and answer questions correctly? And so myself self-paced option would do that for you. It'd give you peace of mind, give you the validation that you need to make sure you're on the right track and that everything that you're reading aligns with what you've already been taught and how you're already viewing answering NCLEX-style questions. That way you can go into the test very confident and rock it. Um, a lot of people do go in and they pass it on the first time. Majority of people do. Um, but since the pandemic, we're only about maybe 70% or 60% of the people are passing on the first attempt. So, you know, there's been significantly, um, a decline in pass rates, and a lot of it is because of the decreased clinical time that we had available because of the pandemic. But even before the pandemic, you know, like 20% of people are still failing. So there's, there's an opportunity there to make sure that You're not one of those people who go out and think that you got this, but you have no validation of that. Like, you don't have a process to follow. You don't have anything to really check all the boxes and make sure you're there. And my program does that. So if you have any questions about any of what we covered, if you were part of the, um, presentation right before it got cut off, or if you're just seeing this for the first time, this little clip at the end, you can always go to, again, thenursespeak.com and schedule an inquiry call with me. I would love to have a conversation with you. Um, in my website you're going to see podcasts that talks about how amazing nurses are and the amazing things we can do. Um, I have a blog that always puts out new information about NCLEX and other nursing-related topics. I have a professional development page that helps people transition into practice and also offers a variety of other professional resources that I recommend you connect with to help you along your way. Um, you know, so if you have any questions, please reach out to me. I truly am here for your success. If you don't let me know you have questions, I can't help you. So I thank you for your time. For everyone who attended the 2-hour presentation, um, thank you so much. It, it means a lot to me that you showed up for that, and I'm so excited to see you succeed because the nursing profession is incredible. We have lots of opportunity, and although it has lots of challenges and sometimes I wonder why am I doing this to myself, it's been one of the most rewarding careers for the past almost 13 years of my life, and I'm looking forward to the many more years ahead. So thank you very much, everyone. I hope you have a great night, and I will be seeing you all later. Take care.
