Good luck with your NCLEX, they sound so stressful ❤ hello from a U.K. veterinary nurse 🇬🇧

[@divinemercy7331]

Well I've taken the exams for the second time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it🥺😭

[@ruthflorence]

@@Mark-ks1rv I failed many exams on my journey to becoming a vet nurse. Allow yourself to feel down, but then use it as a learning experience and preserve until you pass. This experience will only make you a stronger more rounded nurse. You’ve got this!!

[@lorientheresa4844]

I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope

[@ruthflorence]

@@divinemercy7331 you WILL pass, both exams you’ve taken already will only strengthen you for when you succeed. Take it question by question and don’t be afraid to speak to those who have passed recently to find out any tips they have.

Obviously Nclex exam has been a pain in my ass, but that won't bother me any longer I have passed my exam already thanks to you Mr Marcus God bless you more cuz you made it possible for me.

[@larrygoerge4636]

Nclex exam is really difficult and frustrating, I can't believe I failed again after studying so hard.

[@davidflegas5226]

You will pass everyone has their own season, just keep going pray and believe you will receive yours Mr Marcus like everyone has been saying he can be off help

[@angelavaldez2903]

People keep talking about Mr Marcus all over KZbin, he must be awesome help

[@stevechris7639]

I studied for months I couldn't pass I guess passing is a blessing.

[@sophiataylor160]

Yes you're correct but remember heaven help those who help themselves , try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help

[@Darklink7884]

To my best friend and favorite nurse: I wish I could hold your hand and tell you that everything is going to be okay. I'm rooting for you. I know you're going to be so successful in life.

Aww thank you for all the encouragement 💗

I commented before and told you Uworld as well. I was a straight-B student in nursing school and I passed my boards in 75 questions and 25 minutes. Good luck on your boards, you can do this!

[@haileypurvins9008]

What a bittersweet moment, obviously we know you passed. But I’m in Q2/8 for my program and It’s been nice following along on your journey and now I’m out of videos. A victory for me this week is I passed my second patho exam with an 87 and I’m pretty proud of that.

[@lara94]

I think motivation is the biggest aspect of long study periods. It's very difficult to not sprint start in the first two weeks, but always easier said than done 😅 I absolutely feel ya on the overthinking part when studying doesn't seem to carry fruits and push you forward! I question myself so much during this time and my nerves are all over the place🙄Taking a step back and talking about your feelings might do wonders to reset your mind 💗 Congratulations again for passing the NCLEX! My victory this last week was passing my oral exam 🥳

[@chrisindepereira8671]

Victory for the week: I had to move my cardiovascular test back due to some family emergency. It turns out I did super well in this test as we got marks back the next day. Just a quick thank you to @Kiara for creating the most amazing and supportive community. Much love for you always

[@Jessica-fy6np]

I just found out the other day that I got an 87% on my first midterm in nursing school. I was feeling pretty anxious about how I did since it was my first exam in nursing school, but I'm happy with my result, so I'd call it a win :)

[@emilyamyers8378]

Fun fact, Mark Klimek was one of my nursing professors when I went to Cedarville University (where he taught at!) 😊 His NCLEX prep is 100% the reason I passed the on the first try! You got this girl!!!

[@emilyamyers8378]

Ahhhhh just saw that you passed while watching this video!!!! Welcome to the best profession🥰🤩

[@nealalove1627]

Hey guys, Dr. Luther is the solution to the nex generation Nclex, be it RN or PN. I just passed the Nclex RN with great help from him on my 5th attempt

[@victoriawick1]

Good luck on your NCLEX. You will do great. I am considering getting my BSN after I finished medical assistance school. I love watching your process through school to show me what to prepare for in the future.

[@estherpark4575]

you have no idea how much ur studying videos help me with getting motivated and studying!! I failed my nclex the first time and I was honestly getting really stressed and depressed. I've been super anxious and I've been struggling with getting myself to study but ur videos are such an inspiration!! thank you ❤

[@noerisgil754]

I started following you while I was in Nursing school and this is taking me back to my NCLEX days and the anxiety around it! Congrats on passing!

[@yelitzabean]

Good luck with your NCLEX, I'm barely in block one and it seems so daunting. I love watching your videos, they're great inspiration. I'm a mother of three and in my late 30's, how I envy the alone time you get to study lol. But keep up the great work! I have 2 younger siblings, and 1 just graduated with her BSN and passed her NCLEX. The other is on his 2nd to last block of nursing. Both 10 years younger than me eek lol, I'm so proud of them though. So proud of you too, you can do this, you got this!!

[@Bramasaurus]

She passed boys! Well done Kiara!

My win this week was that I took my PANCE (physician assistant national certifying exam) and passed it so I am officially a certified PA!

[@whitneyhanson9153]

I hope you do well on your test! 🎉😊😊 I’m curious if you could potentially make an updated video of the things you used in nursing school that you thought was helpful for tests and clinical (for example books, online websites, etc.) I’m starting Linfield this spring and want to know what I should buy! :)

Well, as the exam was a month ago she is probably sipping drinks on Hawaii enjoying life after passing the test. She was well prepared so I do not think it went wrong.

[@mollyaklein]

Dang i'm impressed you made it through a MONTH of studying! i studied 1 week haha! It wasn't as bad as i thought though you'll do great! It felt like another nursing school exam :) just find out tips and tricks on HOW to answer nclex style questions in addition to lab values, and you'll pass with flying colors!

nclex high yield, simple nursing lab values, and uworld (read rationales), and mark k prioritization/delegation

Just because someone scores high on a written test means they're do well at their job. I was in film school and one student scored high on all the written test compared to the ohter students but couldn't figure out to use the camera and how to edit. Apply things in real life is totally different reading something and thinking you understand it. What is your learning style? Hands on, visual, hearing, or reading? I think you'll be fine.

[@KiaraMadisen]

So true! definitely a hands on or visual learner :)

[@emcate3196]

You’re human. Remember that. I have major test anxiety. Just breathe and take your time. You will have the best results that way.

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

Why do you prefer being a blond over a brunette? I think men like blonds more. My sister is a natural brunette and she highlighted to be a blond. Men hit on her more. You looked different through the years since I watched your older videos. You were more dorky and nerdy when you were a brunette. Don't take that as an insult. Now you seem more confident. Do you think you look prettier as a blond? Trying to make yourself more HOT? Hahah. Joking of course about looking more hot.

[@KiaraMadisen]

Haha I think I’ve gotten more confident over the years but I definitely like my natural color with blond highlights…I think it Suits me the best :)

[@ashleighsprings9732]

From insta ik you did well on your NCLEX BUT seeing this journey and knowing the result is truly inspiring🤍🤍you should be so so so proud of yourself!! also, something I am proud of accomplishing this week is getting a job as a barista!! looking for part-time jobs that work in harmony with another part-time job is so difficult (plus job hunting in general SUCKS), so i am feeling very grateful rn!!!

I love Kiara’s videos so much, been watching for years. But is anyone else not a big fan of the music she started using?? 🫣 the last one was just so much better and relaxing
