Hello, I'm Basil Joy, a Registered Nurse practising in Alberta, Canada. I built my own nursing career in a new country, and today I teach nurses who are taking that same step.
Many nurses find the exam hard because they try to memorize everything. But the exam doesn't test memory alone. It tests how you think: using logic and critical thinking to choose the safest answer.
That is what I teach. We go through 20 systems, one at a time, with proven exam strategies, my eBook and my question bank. Students who follow our guidelines and teaching method and work through our question bank find it much easier to pass on the first attempt.
Our classes are interactive. You can ask questions, share what you know, and we learn together. You also get recorded classes, so you can learn at your own pace around work, family and parenting.
Start with a demo class and see how it feels. I look forward to meeting you in class.
