    As a second semester nursing student, I’m so grateful for this podcast. I feel like I’ve been thrown into so much in nursing school and it feels impossible to keep things organized and keep up with it all. This podcast is so helpful!

  • Thank you Nurse MO

    I had been preparing for NCLEX RN in Canada as an IEN (international Educated Nurse). I found Straight A Nursing podcast and binged listening on my daily commute. I also purchased Fast Pharmacology, Study Sesh and Med surg solution. And just few days ago I passed my NCLEX on my first attempt. I remember nurse Mo was saying something (allergen) not common on the podcast, and it showed up on my NCLEX exam. Many thanks to Nurse Mo. :)
