Marjorie, BSN, RN

As a 2009 graduate with no active bedside experience, I had a lot of doubts about my ability to pass the NCLEX. The thought of achieving this goal felt almost impossible. However, when I started attending the lectures, I was amazed by how the educators made the topics so comprehensive. Their unique teaching styles truly resonated with me and made a significant impact on my learning. I owe my mastery of the concepts to them!

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to the educators: Ma’am Jami – you were the first educator I listened to. You sparked my excitement to learn with the academy and you made me feel I am in good hands. Sir Jay—my respect for you and your roadmap is immense. No one explains better than you, Sir!

Ma’am Pao, you significantly enhanced our critical thinking skills. The case study discussions were invaluable in preparing me for the actual exam scenarios, allowing me to navigate them confidently. I was prepared for my case study battles!
Sir Ryan, you made the long hours of lectures enjoyable and engaging; I learned so much without feeling overwhelmed. You are truly a stress-antidote!

Ma’am San, memorization has always been a challenge for me, but thanks to you, I was able to recall concepts with confidence. Your unique methods were really effective! When I get confused – I just simply say “ahh this is up/down or just find myself dancing or singing” and because of you, I loved SATA 😁

Ma’am Hya, thank you for breaking down complicated topics like Hema, Onco, and Pharma into simple, understandable concepts. I’m sure you did not help me prepare for the exam but to be prepared for my future practice! Ma’am Hazel, as a visual learner, I greatly appreciated your efforts to incorporate relevant concepts into each slide. Despite my limited bedside experience, you helped me effectively relate to and understand each concepts. Sir Emil, you are an inspiration. Your depth of knowledge is truly admirable, and you have reignited my passion for learning.

I also appreciate IPASS for creating a platform that is accessible 24/7, allowing us to revisit lectures, practice drills, and apply our knowledge through practice questions at our own pace. Lastly, the incredible support, guidance, and dedication from such a diverse group of individuals (coaches, mentors, coordinators) have been invaluable. I never felt alone or left behind.

IPASS has not only helped me academically but also instilled confidence in myself, trust in the process, and, most importantly, faith in God!!

I’ll forever be grateful to IPASS, which has become more than just a mentoring academy—it’s a family to me.
