In Their Own Words

Behind every story is a woman who decided she was ready for more. These are some of the women I've had the honor to walk beside and the change they created in their own lives.

C.  Smith RN BSN

I graduated with my BSN in December 2014. I took the NCLEX in February 2015 and unfortunately did not pass. I took it again later that year and failed a second time.

 

In 2016, I made another attempt and failed again. After that, I gave up because I truly believed I just wasn’t smart enough to become a nurse.

In 2024, I decided to try one more time. That decision changed my life because I connected with my victory life coach, Dr. Shalinda McKinsey.

Dr. McKinsey helped me see potential in myself that I couldn’t see. She coached me beyond what I ever thought I was capable of achieving. She held me accountable, kept me focused, encouraged me through the difficult moments, and reminded me not to give up on my dream.

Because of her guidance, support, and belief in me, I finally passed the NCLEX.

If you’re feeling discouraged after failing or questioning whether you’re capable, don’t give up. One setback—or even several setbacks—doesn’t define your future. With the right mindset, support, and accountability, you can achieve your goal. I am living proof that it’s never too late to succeed.

Thank you, Dr. Shalinda McKinsey, for believing in me until I believed in myself.

D. Woodfork RN BSN

I am truly grateful for the incredible support and guidance I received from Shalinda. From the moment our sessions began, her positive energy created a comfortable learning environment that instantly put me at ease as an anxious test-taker, on top of being out of school for 10 years. Shalinda’s ability to help me to recognize key words in the questions and strengthen my critical thinking skills was a game changer for me. This helped me address my weaknesses and tailor my preparation accordingly.

Shalinda’s encouragement and positive reinforcement played a pivotal role in transforming me into a more assured test-taker and retaining the information. I highly recommend Shalinda to anyone seeking an NCLEX tutor/mentor, who not only possesses a deep understanding of the material but also has the unique ability to inspire and uplift.

Her great vibes, coupled with her effective teaching methods, made my learning experience enjoyable and productive. I am forever grateful for her, she was definitely God-sent.🩷
