Justine is by far the BEST tutor ever. Her professionalism, patience, love for teaching and expertise in her subject is above and beyond phenomenal. She is absolutely amazing!!
Justine’s positive reinforcement and encouragement exceeds all expectations.
She helped solidify my weakness and strengths. We built on my weaknesses and went over each disease state with pointing out important key points. She isolated important things for me to focus on. Overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend Justine!
I failed boards once and couldn’t understand what I did wrong because I knew the content. I was looking for a tutor and after looking at Justine’s reviews I signed up. The best decision I ever made; after 5 private sessions and attending Justine’s webinar, I took boards and was very comfortable. I PASSES BOARDS on second time. Thank you Justine’s from the bottom of my heart, I know I could not have done this without you!

I am finally a Registered Nurse! Thanks to Justine I was able to better understand the NCLEX style questions. I am grateful to have found her. She is by far one of the most devoted teachers that I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She makes sure to know what type of studying works best for you to ensure that she can explain the content in ways best suited for your learning style.
I would also recommend her book ‘Nugget Pages’; this condensed, yet very informative book helped me analyse each system and topic needed for the NCLEX exam. Her patience, dedication, honesty, encouragement and overall support gave me the extra boost of confidence that I needed in order to pass the exam.
If you are someone who is struggling with the NCLEX, I highly recommend reaching out to Justine, she is truly amazing at what she does!

I was never a good test taker throughout nursing school so going into this test. I just was not good with the type of questions that nursing school throws at you! However, after 5 TRIES, I passed the NCLEX!!!!
I would not have been able to pass the NCLEX without the help of Justine. I had tried just about every NCLEX study plan and still didn’t help me as much as Justine! She was able to help me more than all of the plans together! She is the best resource for this exam by giving me strategies I could use for every question to decrease stress while I was in there. I was recommended to her by a friend and choosing to work with her was the best decision.
You can pass the NCLEX and Justine is the person to help you get there!

I want to thank Justine for helping me build back my confidence which allowed me to push forward and finally pass. This was at a time when I was left so overwhelmed, defeated and wanted to give up.
I used every resource possible, including Kaplan, the Mark Klimek’s in person review, Saunders, and uworld!! Her one on one tutor sessions are a game changer. She is able to break down complex topics so any one can understand the details and shows you how to find the critical information to study & help prepare you for the tests.
She is truly an angel sent from above. Thank you Justine for believing in me and never giving up!

I am elated to finally be able to call myself a registered nurse, and I couldn’t have done it without Justine and the help of her Nugget Pages. She is truly the best!
I was a repeat test taker, with six years out of school, and the constant feeling of defeat. Justine’s encouragement, patience, simplified content, and test taking strategies were the game changer for me and what carried me across the finish line.
Thanks to Justine I was able to regain my confidence and pass the NCLEX!

I took the nclex twice and was feeling hopeless and stuck,I felt there was no way out. So I decided to find a tutor. I found Justine website and read her reviews so I decided to try and say why not I tried everything else.
After talking to Justine and having the first session with her. I saw what I was doing wrong Justine helped me with not just knowing the content but how to apply what I know as well. Justine showed me that you don’t need to know everything to pass nclex. Her strategies of linking answers and looking for the killer answer for who do see first question and priority questions. helped me so much when I was stuck. Also what helped me was getting rid of extreme answers.
Justine was the guidance I needed to finally pass nclex. Thrid time I passed with 75 questions. I supplemented her nugget pages with the Saunders book for content. I recommend at least read the green boxes in the Saunders if you are pressed for time. I used saunders and the nclex mastery app. Remember content with strategy is key after sessions with Justine I felt confident with her content and strategies and understood how to approach nclex style questions.
Justine told me when it doubt go with your gut and that’s exactly what I did and I passed with 75. Thank you Justine I definently recommended her as a tutor she will give you the guidance you need to pass.

I had taken the test before I met Justine and reluctant to seek help from tutors because I don’t want to be embarrassed but Justine was amazing. She is ready to take you from where you are to the next level, test taken strategy was amazing.
Justine schedule plan and nugget pages make it easy to review, build up my contents level and recognized my weakness. I persistently using the test taken strategy to identify “killer answer” I used the strategies on several question bank such as Uworld, Nurseachieve (CAT), Saunders and Archer (assessment test/CAT) and did multiple questions. it was very helpful.
“I PASSED CLEAN OVER NCLEX”. Thank you Justine for your help to actualize my dream.

Shout-out also to Justine Buick, no words can express how thankful I am for your guidance and patience throughout the process. Thank you for always being honest and for always letting me know on the things that I should improve on. I really couldn’t done it without your guidance.
Thank you for always being so considerate that despite of the initial plan of 3 months of tutor sessions, it took 7 months for the preparation. You always consider your student’s pacing as well and that is what I really appreciate the most. Thank you for your unending patience and support until to the day of my exam. Thank you for teaching me the ‘things that I should know and concentrate on’ plus the ‘test taking strategies’ that you shared with me. It really helped me a lot in order to ace the NCLEX Exam.

Justine was the best thing that happened to me post grad!! I took the NCLEX twice before I started tutoring with her! I did about 6 sessions with her and it was amazing. I took the NCLEX with 145 questions both times, and then passed in 75 the third time around!
When I started with her, I felt super defeated, overwhelmed, and was so lost. I thought I was studying well on my own, but Justine really helped find a way that worked best for me. We went over strategies, questions, and different topics I needed help on. It was really nice to have someone make a schedule and hold me accountable! I also purchased her nugget pages!
I used her nugget pages and uworld qbank the most! I HIGHLY recommend Justine and if you are doubting it, don’t!! She will help you get through it and you can do it!! -Taylor”

Justine, Thank you so much for helping me PASS THE NCLEX! You gave me the confidence I needed to PASS NCLEX the 4th and final time!
After failing NCLEX three times, feeling like no resource I used would help me (Uworld & Kaplan) and just overall feeling defeated– I knew I had to do something different about my studying the 4th time around. I went online and started searching for tutors. I was hesitant, because I’ve never worked with a tutor in my life and was worried that it wouldn’t work out especially since it was on zoom, but after reading her awesome reviews by previous students, I knew she was the ANSWER. I was so excited!
While tutoring with Justine, I also used the NCSBN 7 week study plan (I totally recommend it & would recommend the 10 week study plan) to review content for the NCLEX. I also bought her Nugget Pages, its like a mini book of everything you need to know for NCLEX. For about two months, I put myself on a strict study schedule, with minimal distractions and met with Justine at least once a week. I booked 8 sessions with Justine, but I would highly recommend buying at least 10 sessions with her to really build the confidence and practice answering questions using the strategies that she teaches you.. No one will invest in your future like you will, so I invested in tutoring with Justine.
I had the best experience and my world changed when I finally passed the NCLEX.. If you are reading this-look no further(!) and finally book tutor sessions with Justine! She is so kind, smart, patient and the best NCLEX tutor out there!!!

The first time I took the NCLEX I failed in 60 questions. I was devastated. I had used every resource possible for my first attempt and anything recommended by my friends. I had too many resources. I spent months trying to figure out a solution or what I was going to do to pass this test.
So, I came across a YouTube video made by Dee N’ Dee about Justine. I was like that’s my door to passing this test. I sent Justine an email she didn’t have availability at the time, I decided to wait. When Justine sent me the email and told me she had an availability, I jumped at the opportunity.
Then a couple months later of hard work, I passed my NCLEX-RN on April of 2021 with 75 questions thanks to Justine. I followed her plan diligently, attended some of her webinars, and purchased her Nugget pages which is my golden resource!!! I will continue to use her Nugget pages as a new nurse grad and when I start working.
Anonymous, RN
2nd-time test-taker, 12 private tutoring sessions + nugget pagesI took my first nclex after studying without a concrete plan, and when I saw my results I was devastated. After two days of feeling like a failure and sulking, I was ready to make a plan for round two. I knew in myself I needed someone to hold me accountable for my studying, so I looked for tutors online and it was overwhelming. I came across Justine’s website (thank heavens), checked out her blogs and testimonials and I felt that her guidance would help me, as it did countless others. I reached out to her and got lucky she was able to take me in after being on the waitlist!
Before that, I was working with a different tutoring company which wasn’t as helpful for me. I read content, have a session, practice a few questions and we go over what I got wrong. It was like I was studying on my own but someone was watching me, but not explaining how I didn’t get the correct answer, just that it was wrong. I didn’t learn to apply any strategies effectively.
Justine helped me organize my approach to analyzing and answering questions. I realized that even if I knew the content, I wasn’t recognizing what the question was really asking. Every session, Justine makes sure that I am utilizing my test-taking strategies and not carelessly eliminating answers. She was actively practicing questions with me and listening to how I was rationalizing the question. I studied hard with an effective study plan Justine created for me to target my weak points. I said that I’d learn better if we meet every day and she supported that. There were days that I struggled with content and application of strategies, but Justine continued to encourage me and push me to do better, ever so patiently. Especially with the SATAs!
During the test, I pretended that I was taking one of Justine’s readiness tests and I could almost hear her voice guiding me through each question using strategies. This helped me keep myself calm and focused.
After my first nclex, I left the testing center feeling horrible, scared, sad and embarrassed.
This time around, although I was a little anxious, I was more confident after I left the testing center. I did my best, gave my all.
I finished at the minimum number of questions, with almost 60% SATAs (not kidding and not fun).
And here I am now, still in a happy daze, with my RN license!! I can’t thank Justine enough for helping me get through this. For anyone out there who is struggling, needing support, guidance and seeking to gain the confidence to take the NCLEX – I hope you reach out to her. She truly cares for her students and celebrates their success in overcoming this challenge.
Thank you so much Justine!

PS I will hold on to my Nugget Pages, it is truly a great resource! I wrote my notes and I have sticky notes everywhere on it but it reminds me of all my hard work. I also got the flashcards from Brainscape, an incredibly helpful tool in remembering content. I definitely recommend these to anyone who is overwhelmed with all the study tools available out there.
I had just finished nursing school in August and knew that the next step was to prepare for the NCLEX exam. I was petrified, I heard so much mixed information about the exam. I knew I needed some kind of direction to prepare for it. I went on google searching for a tutor and God blessed me when I found Justine. She made a schedule for me which included how much and what I should study daily. Her Nugget Pages were so informative and visually appealing to the eye. It helped me to remember things.
I was using Uworld, Mark Klimek and Archer review along with her tutoring. I began to feel so overwhelmed Justine told me not to use so many resources and as soon as I listened to her I felt so much better. My confidence improved more and more after each session with her and the big day finally came. I took my NCLEX and passed on the first try! I couldn’t have done with without Justine, I learned so much from when not just content but test taking strategies that actually worked!
I recommend her to anyone sitting for the NCLEX you won’t regret it!
After failing my NCLEX exam a second time I was ready to give up, I just was not sure what else I
could do to study for this exam – and then I found Justine. I started with her webinars and
quickly realized she was the missing piece to my studying regimen. Even after one individual
tutoring session I felt more confident that I could pass on my next try. Looking back I wish I had
found her sooner because I know I would have passed the first time with her help!
Like I said before I just was not sure how else to study for the NCLEX, I felt super discouraged
especially since I used all 145 questions both times which just meant I was so close to passing.
But I knew just doing UWorld questions on my own and just re-reading the Saunders review
book again was not going to cut it. Justine kept me accountable not just week to week but day
to day and set up plan that worked best for me and that became basically my full time job, but
it was not too overwhelming at all! Justine showed me that taking the NCLEX is half knowing
the content and half just being confident in your answers and understanding what is actually
being asked of you. She reviewed more than just content but showed me different test taking
strategies that really helped from day one!
I am so so so thankful for everything Justine has done and all the work she put in to making
sure I was more confident than ever going into my final attempt – which I passed with
questions to spare!!
Thank you again for everything Justine – you were so kind and unjudgmental even through
some days where I was just making silly mistakes! I know if any more of my friends are
struggling who I am telling them to contact!
Good Afternoon,
I wanted to say a huge thank you for helping me pass the NCLEX.
After hearing that I did not pass the first time I was very disappointed and was unsure how to go about improving my scores and getting on the right track. There are so many tutors available it’s hard to decide who to choose. After the first session I knew I had chosen the right one. Each session you helped me break down why I got the questions wrong and the material to go over.
Your nugget pages were a huge help and condensed the information into something that is manageable to read without all the extra information nursing school books have in them.
I can’t thank you enough for getting me to the point so I knew I was ready and felt confident in taking the exam again.
Thank You.
David.
I am so glad to find Justine-the best tutor as my last resort for the third-time NCLEX PASS WITH 75!
I failed the first time with 75 which I know is awful, maybe I don’t have enough content or testing strategies. Furthermore, I used Kaplan, Uworld, and Nursng.com for the first time, but did not finish any of these study tools. For the second time, I tried to finish the whole Uworld qbank, Hurst, and listen to the Mark K audios, but failed with 88 questions. I know I gain a little more contents, but still not enough, and have a hard time with the testing strategies.
After all of these, I am totally frustrated. But I receive Justine’s em-mail that she has opened for the private tutor session! Finally! I was waiting to get her tutor session for a few months. Justine has her limited private student session, so she can focus on her students to succeed. She is like the bright light in the dark at this moment. After the assessment and a phone call with her, I bought the 5 session tutoring package. It is worth it with every penny. She will assess your ability and deficit, then give you the study plan during the first session. I followed the study plan and review each session summary throughout the success!
The most important part is that Justine always encourages me and never let me give up! She knows NCLEX is not easy, but she believes in her students. I almost gave up and change my career, but she gave me the motivation to continue learning. I am so grateful to get Justine as my tutor, if you are looking to be, a PASS on your NCLEX, please definitely e-mail her and start your success process! You will not regret it!
Thank you, Justine!
I am so excited to finally be able to call myself a Registered Nurse!
You gave me such great confidence in my knowledge and guided me into the right direction to finally be able to pass the NCLEX. After being so discouraged from many failed attempts, I am so glad I found you. You were calm, patient and knew exactly where I was going wrong, which allowed us to focus on specific test taking strategies. You taught me to not only read and understand the questions properly, but most importantly on how to choose the right answer using your “linking answers” and by always going with what is SAFE.
After studying for many months, I thought knowing the content was enough to pass this exam, however I quickly realised it was not. I needed guidance and structure and someone to help me.
I am forever thankful that our paths crossed, and that you were able to help me be successful. To anyone who feels alone on this journey, who wants to quit and who has lost all confidence, Justine can help you! Never give up. We have all worked so hard to get through Nursing school! Don’t let the number of times you write the NCLEX define you as a person or as a Nurse! Sometimes we just need to be guided by the right person. Thank you again for everything Justine. You are such a kind and understanding person and I will continue to recommend you to everyone I know who needs help in the future, like I did.
Justine gave me the confidence, support and mentorship I needed to prepare for the NCLEX. I am so grateful I found her program because she is everything I was looking for in a teacher- honest, patient, kind and fun. She loves what she does and it shows! She genuinely cares about your journey to pass and become a nurse.
When I was looking for resources to start studying I knew I wanted a tutor to help keep me accountable and intentional. This was my second attempt at taking the exam and I wanted to pass so badly. I felt overwhelmed with where to start and what to focus on, and she got me me right on track. She created a study plan that fit my schedule and I committed to it like a full time job. She made learning easy, kept it simple, and told me exactly what I needed to improve on. She taught me how to think like a nurse. I will always have her voice in my head throughout my career.
Working with her is the best decision I made this year! Now I am a nurse!! I finished the exam feeling confident in my performance. I used Saunders Comprehensive Review + her Nursing Nugget Pages, Webinars, Flashcards on Brainscape and private tutoring. I highly recommend her Nugget Pages. Reviewing content has never felt easier. I am so happy to have Justine by my side. Thanks to her, I feel accomplished and ready to start my career.
Thank you Justine, I love you!!
JUSTINE!!! I PASSED!!! I just wanted to say thank you for your help and your nugget book. When I was ready to give up and let my entire family down, I told myself to take it again.
I have used every resource from U World, Mark K, Saunders, private tutors, Youtube advisement, and more. My friend advised me to buy your book and she also passed from using your book. Your book gave me a better and easier organization of learning. It’s not about strategy taking, it is all about CONTENT!!! If I have to tell anyone who hasn’t passed I would advise them to buy your book and never give up because if you have passed nursing school you will pass the NCLEX.
Thank you again, Justine, please continue helping those students who do not believe in themselves because I was one of them. God bless.
I had taken the NCLEX exam for the third time and was ready to give up. I graduated school 26 years ago and was trying to be a nurse again. The same week that I received my failing results, I also received an email from Justine saying that she had an opening in her tutoring schedule. I was so excited to have someone that could help me with my journey.
Justine gave me a plan. She gave me the support and the much needed advice I had been searching for. The nugget pages that you can purchase saved my life. I had tried UWORLD and KAPLAN but nothing compared to her book. If you are struggling like I was, I promise you that spending time with Justine and purchasing her nugget pages is an investment that you cannot pass up.
After 3 months of working together, I am happy to report that I took the NCLEX exam for the 4th time and I PASSED IT. I AM A NURSE!! Thank you so much Justine. I could not have completed the journey without your guidance.
I definitely think you helped a lot. I still incorporate your teaching styles to answer questions. The list you gave me for meds were very helpful, the lab value sheet you gave me years ago was my go to always. I did nuggets, as I read through the Hogan book, so see you played a role in my success.
I don’t know if you remember but you once told me to read my questions out loud to help me understand them better. I swear I can always hear your voice tell me that. So I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s been a journey but I did it and now I am ready to start the next chapter.
Prior to this test I took the Nclex in July 14 2020 and did 60 questions and failed. I was so broken. But I could not gave up because I knew I could do it. So I submitted within about two weeks of knowing of my results. I prayed and I ask GOD To finally give me a chance. I told him I have done all the studying I could do and I was out of ideas of what else to try. So I reapplied and told my self that this was my last test and God that would finally gave me the opportunity to pursue my nursing career. I got my ATT which stated I could retake the anytime after August 29
So I decided to retake again on September 29 , 2020 and passed at 64. I was so happy when I finally saw PASS. But I immediately log out and re logon back into my Pearson account to make sure eyes were not playing ticks on me. Lol.
Thanks so much for all your help. And thanks for offering to be a reference. I will be working on my resume over the weekend.
My road to becoming a registered nurse has felt like it has lasted forever, but I finally got there with the help of Justine! I am someone who struggles with major test anxiety. The first time I took the NCLEX I sat down and immediately became overwhelmed. I went into the exam with the mindset that I was going to fail before I even took it. After getting my results, I knew that I needed to reach out and get help.
I found Justine through her website and was drawn to her by reading testimonials from her past students. Soon after I reached out, we were able to get in contact, and make an individualized study plan. We met weekly to cover content, assess my knowledge deficits, and learn proper test taking techniques. Aside from our one-on-one sessions, I used her flashcards and worked through her nugget pages (which are AMAZING). Before I knew it, it was time to take the NCLEX for what was going to be my final time!
I was able to pass the exam with the minimum number of questions and total confidence in my performance. I could not have passed the NCLEX without Justine. She constantly gave me the reassurance that I had what it takes to become a registered nurse! I look up to her not only as a tutor, but as a mentor. She went above and beyond to help me reach my goal. The NCLEX is made to be hard, so don’t be embarrassed to ask for help. I couldn’t have gotten to this chapter in my life without Justine. I will be forever grateful for her!
Thank you Justine!
Justine is by far the best teacher I’ve had in all my nursing days! I had failed my exam twice as a foreign educated nurse, I was desperate for options and even rethinking my entire career when I stumbled upon one of her webinars.
She has the perfect way of explaining and simplifying everything you would ever need to know for the NCLEX. Everything she does is personalized and catered for you specifically which is what makes her so great! From customized study plans to one on one Zoom meetings, she makes sure you fully understand the content, the strategies and have the confidence to walk into your exam and pass with everything you’ve got.
I loved every minute of working with her and I highly recommend her services!
First thank you to God and to my family.
Second to you Ms. Justine. I will not make it without your help. You are so awesome teacher, you cared for your student so much. I am so grateful that I found your website while browsing for tutor and glad i did not make second guess to enrolled on the program.
I did many resources uworld,kaplan,remar, hurst but only webinar, one on one session and the life saving NUGGETS pages. The strategies that you taught me when i did not know the answers really worked, while taking the exam, i am imagining myself that you are in front of me saying like know your content and find the killer answers, be a safe nurse, and when i got a correct answer cheering me yehey you got it. Everything.
I had no words to say but your are so AWESOME Ms Justine. I will definitely tell to everyone who struggling for NCLEX-RN to find and hunt you. You are a gift from above that have a big heart to helped student like me who’s English is not a first language. Thank you Ms Justine for all the care and support. I am proud to say I am now a USRN because of you Ms Justine.
Again thank you from the bottom of my heart

Fifth test taker graduated 2012 long time ago woooohhhh.
My test taking road has been long and difficult. I took my nclex 5 times before I passed. I literally used everything to study, textbooks, questions banks and finally a private tutor.
I found Justine on attempt 4. We did multiple tutoring sessions where Justine helped me learn the proper test taking technique as well as filling in knowledge gaps. After 5 hours and 50 minutes all 265 questions i wasn’t successful and I was crushed. Justine was so supportive encouraging me to take it again.
I hit the books even harder on my last attempt. Using the nclex mastery app, attending webinars and reviewing content using the flash cards and nuggets pages that Justine has. Seriously I gained sooo much confidence. On attempt 5 I got 130 questions which was the max at the time but I knew I passed.
All I can say is DONT GIVE UP. You may not pass your first time with her but you will pass! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You can do this.
1st attempt: I used Uworld practice questions & their self assessment test which I got “ borderline” for my result and took my test. I studied for 2 months after nursing school. I got about 120 out of 265 questions and the test kicked me out. I failed
2nd attempt: I used Uworld practice questions and their self assessment test test which I then got “ highly likely”. In addition, I used some Mark Klimek recordings sent to me by another nursing student which I felt helped me make sense of a lot of things. I studied for 2 months also. I had 237 questions left out of 265 and I timed out. I failed
3rd attempt: I went to a Mark Klimek full review course, which came with the yellow and the blue book and it was a lot more material than the recordings. I studied those for 3 months. In those three months I applied to be one of Justine’s students but she said that she could not have me as she does not rush her current students. Due to COVID, my test was cancelled 6 days prior to me taking it. I was super disappointed but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
A month later waiting to reschedule my exam I got an email from Justine saying she was accepting new students. So I worked with her. I used her nugget pages (you don’t want to miss out on these), her brainscape flashcards, NCLEX mastery app (she gave me a discount code for that) and another Uworld assessment which I got “very highly likely”. I liked the mastery app because it was more simple and nursing specific unlike Uworld. I also did practice questions with her weekly as well as her seminars and all 3 of her practice tests.
I studied for 3 months, took a month break and then studied with her for 2 months and 2 weeks. I think I did 17 sessions with her. I also got testing accommodations of 2 additional hours and a private room for this test so I wouldn’t run out of time and wouldn’t get distracted. I got 130 out of 130 questions. I passed.
I will be the first to say if you feel like you need help with the NCLEX JUSTINE IS YOUR GIRL! And I will scream it from the rooftops. The first thing that I loved about Justine is she keeps things simple. I feel like I am an anxious/detail oriented learner and I can overcomplicate things easily, so her keeping things simple was SUPER helpful. Her mannerisms are calm, confident and kind which also helps with being an anxious learner.
Next is SHE CARES! She cares about you passing just as much as you do. She definitely shows it by adapting to your needs and being flexible to your schedule. She even tutored me while she was on vacation! I remember right before my test I told her “I might need someone to talk to” and she reassured me with “ I am available when you need me” which made me feel so supported.
There were times that I also needed advice with some work related things and she willingly listened and gave great advice. Something that makes Justine DIFFERENT than other tutors is her EXPERIENCE and HOW she teaches. She teaches to YOUR needs and identifies your weaknesses. Most other reviews or tutors try to teach you THEIR rules, which could be helpful but in my opinion doesn’t make you a good test taker or help you improve your potential knowledge deficits.
I also felt like she is WELL worth your money. She was fair about our time during sessions and I never felt like she was out to get my money like some other tutors. She is honest as well, like a week before my test I was getting nervous and feeling not ready and she told me “ If I didn’t think you were ready I would tell you” and that made me trust her opinion even more because I like it when people are straight up with me.
Another thing I loved was when I was nervous to fail I asked if I would have to wait again to study with her if I failed and she said “ Once you’re my student you’re always my student, you won’t have to wait again” and that just made me feel like she really cared about me passing THE MOST IMPORTANT TEST OF MY LIFE.
After all was said and done she talked to me after my test, congratulated me and even offered to write me a reference letter for any future employer, AS A TUTOR! She is just 12 out of 10 and I can’t thank or recommend her enough. It doesn’t matter where you are at in your NCLEX journey, she is the one you want! I get teared up thinking about how thankful I am to have found her, she helped change my life!
I graduated from an accelerated program and I had to learn everything so quick. Once I graduated, I did not know where to start in terms of studying. My school had us use ATI throughout the program, but I really hated it. I eventually bought the Saunders book and looked over the nugget pages. I then took the NCLEX and didn’t pass.
The second time, I really studied hard. I got UWorld, I studied Justine’s notecards and used the nugget pages. I took the NCLEX again and did not pass. I didn’t know what to do anymore. I really thought I was going to pass this time.
The third time, I read all of the Saunders book, I did UWorld questions, studied the flashcards, and skimmed over the nugget pages. I also attended the weekly webinars which were so helpful. I had a better grasp on the content the third time and finally passed.
I wouldn’t have been able to pass without Justine’s support. She was so helpful, her one on one tutoring sessions really helped me understand how to answer NCLEX style questions. I highly recommend Justine; she is such an amazing tutor that actually cares about her students. Her one on one tutoring sessions really help with identifying your strengths and weaknesses and how to fix them. Each session I did with her I became even more confident with how to answer questions.
Thanks so much Justine!
My test taking road has been long and difficult. I took my nclex 5 times before I passed. I literally used everything to study, textbooks, questions banks and finally a private tutor.
I found Justine on attempt 4. We did multiple tutoring sessions where Justine helped me learn the proper test taking technique as well as filling in knowledge gaps. After 5 hours and 50 minutes all 265 questions i wasn’t successful and I was crushed. Justine was so supportive encouraging me to take it again.
I hit the books even harder on my last attempt. Using the nclex mastery app, attending webinars and reviewing content using the flash cards and nuggets pages that Justine has. Seriously I gained sooo much confidence. On attempt 5 I
Got 130 questions which was the max at the time but I knew I passed.
All I can say is DONT GIVE UP. You may not pass your first time with her but you will pass! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You can do this.
I had done it all if I’m being honest. Uworld, Kaplan, Saunders, and even one-on-one tutor. I took the NCLEX 5 times starting back in October of 2018 all the way up to June 2020. My whole life came to a stop. I felt like there was no other resource available for me to use and while googling other tutors for NCLEX, I came across Justine.
So, I decided that I would take a leap of faith and I am so glad I did. Justine’s methods are amazing and worked in helping me create a better method of figuring out questions and their answers.
Her nugget pages are informative and free of fluff allowing you to learn the key parts of specific topics without loosing focus (my favorite as someone who has a short attention span). Her flashcards are the resource for use for memorizing all of the different values (also a really good last minute light study a few days before the test). Weekly webinars are a great way to work through questions and see if you don’t know something vs. not knowing how to answer the question. Her one-on-one focuses on finding weak spots with content and analysis of questions.
I passed the NCLEX during these hard times and it was all thanks to Justine, her support and her guidance.
Before I found Justine, I had not passed the NCLEX upon multiple attempts as well as various study tools. I was feeling discouraged and defeated. I did not know what else to do, I had tried UWorld and even purchased other online question banks yet did not find success when it came to the Nclex. I was suggested by a close relative to try a tutor, so I googled it and there came Justine Buick aka the Nclex Tutor and really your best investment ever.
Justine offered one on one tutor sessions as well as a weekly webinar where students would come attend an informative webinar on a core nursing topic via Zoom video call. These one on one meetings were essential in identifying ‘your own’ personal weaknesses and strategies to tackle them.
However, my favorite were the Nugget pages. They had all the key important info minus the fluff. Every bit of the Nugget pages are jam packed with only the most relevant information pertaining to nurses. We don’t need to know the specific nitty gritty of certain disease processes, only the pertaining nurse information relative to our scope of practise. This book is the epitome of less is more. Difficult topics like Cardiac/EKG, or Psych Meds, and especially Maternity/Peds are made extremely easy to understand and interpret.
Justine also goes over specific strategies on how to answer Nclex questions. Things like focussing on time frames, like knowing how to answer with an admission question versus a discharge question. Or identifying key words in the questions that allow you to choose the best possible answer even in a situation where you are not as familiar with a topic. One of the best skills I have learned for passing the Nclex was simply dissecting the question.
For myself I attended 3 one on one meetings initially with Justine to identify my weaknesses and create my own personalized study plan, as well as 2 additional one on one meetings prior to my Nclex examination. I made sure to attend every weekly webinar as they are a great way to not only review nugget pages, but also answer Nclex-style questions with interactive feedback from Justine via Video call.
My personal study plan included exclusively using the Nugget pages and practising questions on Saunders Q bank. I also completed Justine nclex readiness exams 1 and 2. The cherry on top of everything is Justine is a wonderful human being who encourages, supports, and empowers all of her students. She really cares about you passing and having that kind of support fosters the best environment for learning.
Justine was a beam of light at the end of the tunnel when all had looked lost. It was the best investment I have ever made after spending thousands of dollars rebooking exams and dealing with the emotional burnout of repeatedly failing the Nclex. I seriously cannot stress how much I recommend using Justine as your Nclex tutor. I am finally a RN, and I seriously could not have passed without the help of Justine Buick aka THE BEST Nclex Tutor!
Thank you Justine.
I am a repeat test taker who lost a lot of confidence, felt discouraged and did not know what to do. After seeing a testimonial about Justine, I immediately decided to contact her.
Contacting Justine was easy and I felt comfortable speaking with her from the start. We decided on a plan that fit my schedule perfectly. During my studies for the NCLEX, I was very fortunate to have access to her Nugget Pages which were my main focus with studying. I cannot wait for them to become a book!
During every session with Justine, I gained more and more confidence. Throughout all of my time with Justine, I felt as though she is helping students for the right reasons and I never felt as though her tutoring sessions were a ‘sales pitch’. Justine was honest with how many sessions she thought I needed. After 10 sessions with Justine and almost all of her webinars I’m so excited that I can call myself an RN.
Thank you Justine.
FINALLY, the day has come that I passed the NCLEX!!! I wouldn’t have done this without the help of Justine. What helped me the most was the individualized study plan and words of encouragement. Just know when you are at your lowest to not give up and keep pushing because it IS doable and I passed on the fourth time!
Thank you so much Justine!
I PASSED!!!!! I thank you so so so much for all of your help, I really did not think this day would come any sooner. I am so thankful to have met such a smart, kind, and patient tutor. You are a true blessing and I would recommend you to anyone who is in need of help!
Thank you for everything!!
I am a 2nd time test taker and was feeling extremely defeated after taking the NCLEX for the first time. I felt like after weeks of studying and doing so poorly on the test the first time that there was no chance I was ever going to pass.
I spoke to a friend of mine who had just passed the NCLEX after taking it for the second time and she referred me to Justine. After speaking to Justine and telling her what I was struggling with she told me with confidence that she would be able to help me out.
Justine not only helps you understand information but gives you a whole new way on how to dissect a question. She gives you strategies and tricks on how to answer questions even if you do not know the material. It seems as though Justine has mastered the NCLEX and really shares that with her students.
Using Justine was a no brainer and I will continue to spread her name to those that I know taking the nclex in the future!
After 5 years of graduating nursing school, I had lost all hope. I had taken the Nclex 6 times and every time—Fail. I couldn’t do it anymore. I was mentally and emotionally exhausted. I tried what I thought was everything! Kaplan, Uworld, Hurst, Learbing Ext., multiple NCLEX books, you name it.
And then I found Justine through google search. What a saving grace she is! I worked with her for 5 sessions, and a few of her online webinars. She gave me back the hope I needed to conquer this battle! She helped find my weak points, and set me up with my own personalized testing plan! I studied what she taught me and worked hard on my weaknesses.
On December 2nd I walked confidently into that testing room, wrote down the tips and tricks Justine taught me and got to work. Two days later, I sobbed as the quick view results showed I PASSED! Thank you Justine for believing in me and helping me reach my dream of being a Registered Nurse!
This Thanksgiving, I am so thankful to have passed (as a first-time test taker!) the NCLEX exam and become a Registered Nurse. However, I have to say that it could not have been possible without the help and support of Justine.
I graduated from my nursing program back in August, and I knew that I wanted to take the exam within the next few months. I used the resources and advice given at my nursing program to get started. However, I realized that I was feeling overwhelmed, and it seemed like there was so much information. I did not even know where to begin studying or what to prioritize. It was even more difficult because I was working full time. Thankfully, my daughter found Justine’s information online and saw her great reviews. I submitted my application through her website, and within a few days, I heard back from Justine letting me know that I was off the waitlist. She set up our introduction session, where we discussed my strengths, weaknesses, and a study plan.
I continued to meet Justine almost every week and ended up having 9 sessions with her. After every session, Justine promptly sent me an email that summarized everything that we had gone over in the session, as well as my study assignment for the week. This assignment usually referenced the study plan that she gave me as well as the Sanders book for content review and her “Nugget pages” for condensed review. She always assigned me to do about 100 questions per section, and she encouraged me to supplement this practice with U-World questions.
As a student, I really appreciated that Justine took the time to listen to my concerns and always tried to address them. For example, I was worried about prioritization, and she continually focused on helping me build my prioritization skills, which helped me immensely on the NCLEX. Another example was when I discussed my discomfort with EKG questions with her. She had a session with me and dedicated time to these questions so that I could be more comfortable with them. Another resource of Justine’s that I utilized was her webinars. I attended 3 of her webinars (maternity, pediatrics, and variety), and I found these helpful for additional practice.
Overall, what I enjoyed the most about working with Justine was that I felt that she was equally invested in my success. She encouraged me and made sure that I felt supported. She was quick to answer my questions outside of our sessions, and I know that her availability was an asset. Additionally, I believe that her resources were invaluable. From her list of 100 commonly asked medications to her end-of-review examinations, Justine is prepared to help you to be successful on the NCLEX.
I know that God has been with me throughout my nursing journey, and I thank Him for sending Justine my way. Seeing my results say “PASS” on the NCLEX website this past week was one of the most joyous and incredible moments of my life. I give God all the glory. Becoming a Registered Nurse has long been my dream. I am forever grateful to Justine for all the support that she provided me in making my dream come true.
I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to pass the NCLEX and is willing to put in the hard work that is needed to succeed.
Hi everyone! You reading this means that you are looking for someone/something to help you pass the Nclex! I passed on the 2nd try with Justine’s help, encouragement, resources ect!
Justine will help guide you with how and what to study, she teaches you the proper way to study, she gives you everything you need and holds your hand throughout the process! I was so lost the second time around as to what i was supposed to do! and Justine gave me everything i needed to get through it! and 1/2 weeks and I PASSED!!! I couldn’t believe it!
If you are looking for a tutor you’d be lucky to get Justine! go for it!!! email her now! follow everything she says! nugget pages, questions, tests, and tutoring sessions! and by the way-the tutoring sessions are incredible-the strategies and personalized help is what gets you through the nclex itself!
good luck!!!!!!!
Passing the NCLEX was something I constantly worried about throughout nursing school. I kept hearing, “it’s a test like no other” and “even those who succeed in nursing school struggle studying for this exam.” With this in mind, I knew I needed to seek further help to keep my studying on track which is why I reached out to Justine early in my studies.
In addition to study sessions with Justine, I also completed the Hurst review and answered many questions from the mastery app. Despite all these study efforts, I unfortunately failed my first attempt at the NCLEX in 76 questions. Words can’t describe how bummed I was to find out that I did not pass on my first try. I was embarrassed to break the news to Justine, but I knew that she would help me get back on track to pass on my second try. Therefore, after taking a short study break, I began sessions with Justine once again where she went through her study techniques repeatedly until I felt comfortable using them and with more practice questions with UWorld, it finally started to click for me as I passed the NCLEX in 83 questions the second time around! In addition to her study strategies and techniques, her nugget pages are extremely helpful (definitely use these as a study guide!!) and I also learned a lot from her weekly webinars.
Justine was extremely patient and reassuring through this entire process for me and I cannot thank her enough. Although I did not pass on the first time while working with Justine, I would highly recommend working with her not only for her knowledge of nursing and of the NCLEX, but also for her ability to make learning all the information a little less terrifying!
I just want to start off with a BIG thank you to Justine for all her help and support. I couldn’t have passed the NCLEX without her guidance. She is a one of a kind tutor and passionate about helping people pass the NCLEX.
I failed the NCLEX three times before and just passed on my 4th attempt in 75 questions all due to Justine help and support. I was definitely lost and defeated until I found Justine. Once you are her student you have access to her AMAZING nugget pages…these are seriously the best!!!! The nugget pages break down the most important topics and takes out all the extra fluff. During our online face to face web interactions Justine really showed me how to focus on what the questions were asking and how to analyze each question in order to pick the BEST answer. She also provides you with test taking strategies that are truly helpful and help you narrow down options.
I used a variety of sources such as Uworld, Hurst and other tutors to try and pass this exam. However, I was only success because of Justine!! I also worked in the hospital three days a week while trying to study. Justine works with your schedule and does everything she can to accommodate your needs. I used her guidance with NCLEX Mastery and Saunders as a references to pass. If you are scared and wondering if Justine is right for you…I can honestly say she is worth the time and money!! I am forever grateful that she made my dream become reality!!
I passed!!, were the two words I emailed Justine after completely doubting my abilities to do so just hours prior to receiving the news that I had finally passed my NCLEX.
Justine is skilled in her ability to transform complex concepts, into simple strategies to help you pass. I had taken the NCLEX prior to meeting her, & failed! I mentally prepared myself to believe 3rd time would be a charm but after working with Justine, I passed on the second attempt. I studied for a minimum of 4 hours a day, 50 questions per day following her nugget pages, reviewing Hurst Review, while following her study plan she created. I also attended weekly webinars given by Justine, to test my knowledge & understanding of the material.
Her patience and vast ability to identify your weak areas & create a plan to help you strengthen them, will give you the confidence you need to pass.
Thank you Justine!
Would I have passed the NCLEX without the help of the wonderful Justine, probably NOT. I can not thank Justine enough for the support, tutoring hours, helpful tips and guidance through a study program.
I was heading into my third time taking this exam, thinking there is no way I am going to pass this test. I had attempted Kaplan’s study program for the first time and a different tutor for my second time, but nothing seemed to work until I started working with Justine. In my head I believed I just couldn’t answer questions correctly, but that wasn’t the case, the issue was I had a knowledge deficit and Justine was able to help me fix that issue.
I took my test with 123 questions still in belief after the test there was just no way I passed. Justine called me about two hours later to talk that she believed I did pass. The very next day at eight thirty in the morning did I receive the email that I did in fact PASS!! It is the most amazing feeling you can experience, knowing the countless hours and tutoring had paid off and actually worked.
Words don’t describe how thankful I am for Justine, thank you for your guidance and a method that works!!!!
First, I want to say that Justine Buick is absolutely amazing, and I would not have been able to pass the NCLEX without her wonderful help and guidance. She is so supportive and encouraging, and she creates an individualized study plan specific for your needs.
I never imagined I would be able to pass the NCLEX in 75 questions nor pass it on the first try, but with Justine’s help, it was completely possible and achievable!
After graduating from nursing school, I was so overwhelmed by trying to figure out how to study for the NCLEX since I had accumulated so many study materials and resources from school.
I didn’t know where to start, but I found Justine and she was able to guide me in the right direction. In addition to other tools I had like UWorld, Saunders, NCLEX RN Mastery, and Hurst Review, Justine developed a study plan with me, provided strategies for answering NCLEX questions, and supplied me with many practice questions. She was able to consolidate and simplify all the important information that I needed to know for the NCLEX.
In addition to Justine’s tutoring sessions, she offers webinars for various topics and has nugget pages that outline major topics you need to know for the NCLEX. Justine is a one-of-a-kind tutor, and I am so grateful I found her! Justine definitely helped me pass the NCLEX, and I couldn’t be more thankful!
I just want to start my testimonial out by saying thank you so much to Justine Buick for her guidance and support she has given me over the past couple of months. Teaching is a true calling. It is very clear that Justine was called to help others achieve their dreams of becoming a nurse. That is something that I will forever be thankful for. I could not have passed the NCLEX without her.
After failing NCLEX twice, there was only one thing on my mind. FAILURE. I utilized Hurst and UWorld for studying both times. After failing the second time I knew something had to change, not only how I approached studying, but my confidence and attitude towards the NCLEX as well.
Right before giving up I came across Justine and started reading the testimonials and immediately became hopeful. After praying about it I ended up emailing Justine and was on the phone with her the next day! I can honestly say she had me motivated and determined to succeed and that giving up was not an option. I had countless private sessions with Justine, for anybody who is reading this I highly recommend the private session because you are one on one with Justine and she gives you some of the best feedback and test-taking strategies that you need to tackle the NCLEX. Because of Justine I looked at questions differently and was able to pick out key words and utilize her test-taking strategies to become more confident in answering NCLEX style questions.
Justine designs a specific study plan that works best for you. Once you become Justine’s student you are able to access her webinars and her AWESOME nugget pages, which are bomb! Justine works very hard to provide you with the content you need to know for the NCLEX. I cannot stress this enough when I say this, if you are struggling like I was and you are out there reading forum after forum, I hope you come across Justine Buick. Justine will help you achieve your dream of becoming a Registered Nurse because she will be the motivation you need to climb that mountain and succeed.
If you are reading this, remember God is bigger and stronger than anything you are facing. Rely more on His strength than your own. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, give it to God because His hands are big enough to hold your worries, doubts and fears. I will forever be thankful for Justine Buick because she made me realize that I was not a failure. Thank you again Justine!
Never thought I would be the person to pass in 75 questions, much less on the first try, but here I am! I was never considered at the top of my class at nursing school; I was always so anxious for every exam! I would like to say I studied my hardest for each exam, but procrastination definitely got the best of me in school. I knew if I wanted to pass the NCLEX I needed to prepare for this exam differently than I ever had in nursing school.
I had used tutors to study for big exams in the past and what exam is bigger than the one that will give you your nursing license?! Justine was the motivator and tool I needed to succeed. I am so glad I found her when I searched “NCLEX tutor” on google.
She did more than just tutor content or give me practice questions. Justine set me up with a study plan using a calendar, two tools I already had (UWORLD and Saunders), and two new tools (Hurst Review and NCLEX RN Mastery). I felt held accountable to study information and practice questions each week (no more than 100 per day was Justine’s wonderful rule!) to prepare for each one of our seven sessions.
Almost forgot to mention the best tool of all, Justine’s nugget pages! These pages outline almost everything I had to know for the NCLEX and are outlines I wish I had in nursing school. Justine also goes over these in her webinars, which I have to say were an amazing combination of practicing questions and content.
Safe to say I know I wouldn’t have passed my NCLEX without Justine as my guide. Thank you so much for everything!
I can’t thank Justine enough for all her support and helpful tips. After not passing the first time, I felt devastated, embarrassed and knew I needed extra help. I searched on the internet and found Justine! I signed up immediately and she took me on as her student.
I studied Hurst and met with her a couple times a week and then 3 days/ week closer to the exam. Even though she was hesitant about me doing the exam right after 45 days, I knew in my heart that I needed to get it done as it was taking over my life and I needed to be a mom and a wife again! I studied as hard as I could and felt there is nothing more I could do.
I did the exam in 5 hrs with 250 questions and passed! It has been the best feeling and I’m so happy that I spent the money to finish it off. If your reading this, feeling devastated and hopeless, know that it is possible and you can do it with a little help!

On June 27, I FINALLY got to see that four letter word every nurse graduate wants to see, “Pass”!! I finally passed the Nclex after multiple attempts thanks to Justine.
Justine is hands down the best Nclex tutor out there. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, I felt beyond defeated. I was lost and I had no idea what I was doing wrong. Justine was able to work with me and pinpoint my weakness and teach me tips and tricks to pass this test. I am beyond grateful that I found Justine. I could have never passed this test without her.
Thank you so much Justine! I am now able to start my career!!
“I will start my testimony with big “Thank u’’ for Justine Buick, she is really heaven sent. Only with her support I m able to pass my NCLEX with 75 questions after multiple attempts.
My NCLEX story started in 2017 after birth of my younger son. I started preparing for my boards as I’m an international student and graduated 10 years ago. So this was very tough journey for me with my two kids only 4 and 2 years. I was struggling to pass. I have used almost every possible method I could think of to pass. I was feeling devastated after my fourth attempt in January 3 ,2019.
Then by Grace of God one day I came to know about JUSTINE BUICK “ The NCLEX Tutor ‘’ by her fb page. I sent her email, she approached me and we got started as soon as possible and I completed 19 private sessions and 7 webinars with her.
She really knows the skill u need to pass and her nugget pages, I love them; very helpful. I followed her strategies and techniques & that’s it! PASS!!! I don’t think I would have done it without her. Thank u so much JUSTINE for being so patient and always guiding me in right direction. She helped me every step of the way & was always there whenever I had a question about anything. I truly believe that by applying her unique strategies I would be able to pass my boards with 75 questions.
God is good. Don’t ever give up. Pray, relax, have faith and trust yourself, u can do it. Good luck everyone. JUSTINE u r superb. Thank u for everything. God bless u.
‘I took my exam and passed it in 90 questions with the help of Justine! She provided me with multiple tools to prepare and ultimately succeed in taking the NCLEX.
One of my biggest problem areas involved my studying plan/organization (or lack thereof). She really helped me focus in on topics in a structured way. This not only helped me organize my thoughts while studying, but it also lifted some of the anxiety associated with tackling all of the potential test material!!
In addition, Justine helped me gain confidence in myself and my ability to succeed. I realized that as long as I put in the time and work to prepare, the NCLEX is definitely conquerable. Thank you so much Justine, you are an awesome tutor and I couldn’t have done it without you!!
‘My name is Jennifer, and I’m still in shock to say I’m a registered nurse and passed the NCLEX! Thank you for Justine for being an angel and lifting me up through my ups and downs. It has been quite a journey and definitely all worth it.
I took the NCLEX back in March 2019 and had 265 questions using UWorld, Saunders, and NCLEX Youtube videos. I was a hot mess, tense, and took almost the entire 6 hours for the test. I lacked confidence in myself to perform at my optimal level. After finding out the results of not passing, I was disappointed and had to learn how to rebuild. With yoga, mediation, self-love and researching tutors, I came across Justine. Justine was unlike any other tutor I have heard before, she listens and truly cares. Instead of completing 50 questions a day utilizing Saunders, rewriting each question I missed, and making detailed notecards of the top 200 drugs, Justine was able to point me in a better direction to be more efficient. We chatted on the phone initially for close to 30 minutes, and she was very encouraging. She immediately pinpointed my weakness, analyzing questions such as making exceptions “what if”, “adding more to the question” or “answering the wrong question (although factual answer)”.
For my 2nd attempt, I completed the NCLEX in May with 110 questions and in about 2.5 hours, a drastic improvement from my first attempt. I studied harder, not smarter by utilizing Kaplan 2017 Strategies Review book (short & sweet to the point), Justine’s nugget pages, UWorld, & Saunders for a reference. I would not spend more than 4 hours a day studying as opposed to 8+ hours I was studying previously. I would complete max 50 questions a day and took the necessary time to read all rationales to find out WHY I was missing the question (knowledge deficit, analyzing, answering word question, etc). I had 5 private tutoring sessions with Justine covering vast topics including Management of Care and Infection Control. She will not waste your time and fair with providing ample time for you to discuss your answer and reasoning behind it.
I completed a few simulation tests, UWorld 75 questions (3 times) and Kaplan 265 full-length practice test. Additionally, I attended 5 webinars consecutively in which I had the opportunity to connect and learn from other peers across the world. The webinars reinforced content while also allowing ample time to answer approximately 20 questions. The webinars became apart of my routine and studied a little less on webinar days to avoid overload.
Without a doubt, I would recommend Justine to anyone & everyone who is taking the NCLEX for the first time or a repeat test taker. She genuinely cares for each student, organized, knowledgeable, and caring. She will not sugar coat it and send you a thorough analysis of each meeting. Justine makes time for her students whether you prefer e-mails, phone calls, or a private session.
I believe Justine’s approach and strategies to the NCLEX enabled me to be successful on my second attempt. Thank you Justine for being my teacher and mentor guiding me during the NCLEX period.
My biggest advice to future nurses is to never give up! We need you! There may be days in which you feel tired, lazy, or discouraged, don’t let your emotions get the best of you. There is a reason you passed nursing school and pursued nursing. You can do it, just take it one day at a time! Wishing you all the best! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Justine for everything! 🙂
“Ms. Justine is heaven sent. I have tried EVERYTHING you can think of to pass my RN exam and was unsuccessful every attempt. Justine webinars are personal to your individual need. They help me tremendously with analyzing and linking questions together especially with SATA questions (select all that apply). I would study everyday for no more than 3 hrs max. No more than 50 questions a day and UNDERSTAND the rationale is a must. Along with Justine, I also use remar, Saunders, and Kaplan qbank. Who’s ever reading this and wondering if you should contact Ms. Justine DO IT!! With 8 sessions and 1 webinar I can FINALLY say I’m officially a REGISTERED NURSE!!!”
Best feeling in the world to pass the NCLEX!!! I am so happy that Justine came across my internet research days when I felt discouraged and lost not passing the NCLEX. I almost gave up on myself. I used Kaplan as a resource but I failed. I didn’t know what to next, who to ask because I was intimated but I finally had the courage to get back on my feet again and try. Oh gosh…Justine is my life saver! She is amazing! She never gave up on me. I can ask her anything and she responded right away. The “nugget pages” were helpful for me, her webinars, and reviewing rationales on UWORLD. The key is “consistent determination” Never give up my fellow future nurses. NEVER. Thank you so much Justine for everything and your patience. Thank you for your guidance. 🙂
My name is Betsy and before I found Justine Buick I had the toughest time passing the NCLEX. I failed the NCLEX five times. I tried everything I could think of to pass, I purchased seven different books to study from. I attended 3 different NCLEX review courses (Kaplan, Ready to Pass, Helen Feure) and reached out to old professors for help. Before finding Justine I was always told to know the information, make sure to memorize certain information, write down the rationales and to practice up to at least 200 questions a day. I would spend over eight hours a day in the library studying. I literally rewrote one of the review books on index cards and memorized the information. I also printed out pictures of topics that would be on the exam and wrote down everything about that topic next to the picture. Although I did all this work I still did not pass the NCLEX the first 5 times I took it. Justine’s methods of studying is what helped me. She taught me a lot of things that were very important to know before taking the NCLEX. For instance, she showed me how to analyze the questions, taught me to look for key words in both the questions and answers. She informed me about what certain simple words meant when it was used in the questions. Justine also provides you with a lot of important content that is good to know for the NCLEX. She gets rid of all the fluff that all these study books give you and informs you about what the NCLEX is looking for you to know.
The one on one study sessions are great, she focuses on helping you figure out what your problem is and then helps you fix it. The webinars are very helpful; it gives you a chance to obtain more information and practice questions as a group. While in that group session you get to learn tips and tricks that other people are using to retain the information and answer the questions correctly. You also receive Justine’s advice about the topics and how to approach questions. Justine encourages you to not only know the information but to understand the information and this is what I think helped me pass the NCLEX my 6th time taking it. I kept on memorizing the information and the practice questions; instead of understanding what the information meant and how the NCLEX tested your knowledge of the information. Even though Justine is encouraging, supportive, and informative as the student you still have to put in the work. I started studying differently with the help of Justine. I would spend a maximum of four hours studying a day at the library. I would take a short break every hour and I no longer practiced 200 questions a day. I practiced a maximum of 100 questions a day. It was more important to me to focus on understanding the information, what the question was asking and why I was getting it wrong; even if I got a question right I still tried to understand why. Instead of writing down the rationale word for word I put it in my own words, making sure to focus on the important parts. I would review this information before and after practicing questions. While practicing questions I would send Justine pictures of questions I got wrong and didn’t understand why, she would clarify things for me. Some of the time the answer the application chose was actually wrong, so I was happy to be able to send the questions to Justine and get her input. On the days that I would have a private session or webinar with Justine I would cut my personal study session a little shorter, I didn’t want to overwhelm my brain. Most importantly Justine is a genuine person who wants to truly help people succeed in passing the NCLEX. She is not a scam artist or just looking to take people’s money. Justine will be honest with you about everything and let you know when you don’t need her services anymore. I recommend everyone struggling to pass the NCLEX or taking the NCLEX for the first time to invest their time and money into Justine. Once you are her student she will continue to encourage you and support you until you succeed!July 2019, Washington D.C.
“I was absolutely crushed when I found out I hadn’t passed the NCLEX on the first try. After seeing my results, I took a week off and did absolutely nothing. The first time around my school paid for us to do Kaplan. I did everything the program suggested, but utilizing the decision tree did not work for me. Second time around, I reached out to a friend who said her friend used a tutor. I got onto Justine’s website and read all of the testimonials before reaching out. I completed 10 sessions and 1 webinar with Justine in a 5-week time span. I truly believe that talking through each question; applying the strategies she taught me helped me to view studying in a different light. Throughout my time with Justine I utilized the Saunders practice questions, continued to use my Kaplan qbank questions, in addition to Justine’s nugget pages. Justine was always available to answer questions and is very encouraging. Second time around I passed with 111 questions and now get to start my dream job in the NICU! Thanks for all your help Justine!”
“I was defeated after my third attempt to pass the NCLEX-RN exam. I had failed 3 times and was devastated, embarrassed and discouraged. I was losing hope and continued with my bartending job, where I was then referred to Justine Buick, “The NCLEX Tutor”. I decided to try again; my 4th NCLEX attempt. We completed 4 sessions together and 2 webinars.
She was the support I needed to make this work. A coach to tell me what I was doing right/wrong and to keep going! Her resources were extremely helpful and organized. I cannot thank Justine enough for all she has done for me. Being her student has given me a career opportunity. I now will begin to work as a RN on a MedSurg floor at a Boston hospital. I would recommend Justine to anyone having difficulty with the NCLEX.
“There are no gold stars for rushing through it. But if you stay consistent, you’ll get through it.” – Justine”
“As a fifth time NCLEX test taker, I lost all confidence and hope of becoming a nurse. I failed twice with 75 questions and the other two times with 265 questions. After the fourth time I felt so defeated and almost completely gave up. I was losing sleep over this and doubted my career path. A nurse on my floor recommended Justine to me. I submitted my information and not even 24 hours later, Justine reached out to me. We got started as soon as possible and I completed four sessions and two webinars with her. She was able to pick out my analyzing mistakes and taught me how to overcome this dreaded test. She was always patient with me and was able to help me gain my confidence back, which I never thought could happen. I passed my fifth time in 75 questions! I used uworld, Mark Klimek, and Kaplan. I recommend Justine to everyone taking the NCLEX. You will not regret it. Thank you so much Justine for everything. You are seriously amazing. ”
“Defeated is the only word that comes to mind when I think about how I felt after I failed Nclex for the second time (I had 186 questions on the first test and 256 questions on the second). I lost my job as a Grad Nurse and what seemed like all of my confidence in myself. Majority of my nursing school friends had already passed but there I was stuck, yet again, in limbo. I remember crying for several days and having a fear that I would never conquer this test. After I picked myself up from what seemed to be one of the worst times I’ve ever gone through, I decided I had to make some big changes with my study methods. I honestly didn’t know if I was lacking content or if I just didn’t know how to answer the questions. So, I went online to find a tutor that could maybe help me figure out my weaknesses and overcome them. I researched several different tutors but when I came across Justine’s website I knew this one was different. I read through the testimonies and saw several who talked about taking nclex multiple times but were able to conquer it with Justine’s approach. After getting in touch with Justine and having my first session I finally had my hope back that I could pass this test. She was able to teach me how to navigate through questions I didn’t know how to answer and pinpoint my areas of weakness with content. I took a couple months to go through her plan, had several sessions with her and did the EKG webinar. I recently took the nclex for the third time and I PASSED with 75 questions. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t have been successful this time if it wasn’t for Justine. Thank you so much for helping me and getting me started on my career!”
I can not imagine passing the NCLEX without Justine. During nursing school, we never prepped for the test in our classes, so when I graduated and took my test the first time…I was completely unprepared of HOW to take the test despite all the time I spend studying content. After a couple more attempts at not passing, I knew that I had to do something different to figure out WHY I wasn’t being successful at the NCLEX despite being a straight A nursing student. After typing “NCLEX tutor” into Facebook, I found Justine! I went to her website and she seemed like she had some tip that would be able to help me pass. Let me be the first to say, she had so many tools for my tool box that I didn’t know were missing! Everything we went over was so helpful. Going over questions and verbalizing what I was thinking out loud what my thought process was and Justine’s input on each question was one of the greatest game changers. She helped break every single question to make them seem not as overwhelming (even select all that apply!!!!) Her resources online were so helpful as well. They really helped condense some of the material since you still need to know A LOT! Justine also recommended using the NCLEX Mastery app since I had already used UWorld, Hurst, and Kaplan. It was my favorite! Finally I can call myself an RN and it is the best feeling in the world! Thank you Justine!
“I’m so happy that Justine was able to help me to achieve success on the NCLEX! This was my first time taking this exam, and Justine allowed me to gain the confidence to pass in just 75 questions. Her personal tutoring that reviews test taking strategy and review of important topics is phenomenal and her “nugget pages” are absolutely essential. As a matter of fact, those pages were the last thing I reviewed before entering the test room! I studied with Justine for four sessions, attended her webinar on fluids, did oodles of questions on uworld and ATI, and reviewed my weaknesses by reading every rationale. Thank you for guiding my study Justine! I couldn’t have done it without you.”
“I worked with Justine over the course of about 10 weeks after failing the NCLEX the first time. The first time I studied, I used Kaplan and Hurst and I failed in 75 questions. I know these tools work for some people but they just didn’t work well for me! I did 7 sessions and one webinar with Justine and passed the second time in 75 questions! It was the best feeling in the world! I also used Uworld and Saunders the second time around. I think the most helpful thing for me was talking through questions with Justine, learning her testing strategies, and taking my time reading each question and really trying to understand what the question was asking. Justine was so helpful and encouraging and she will NOT waste your time. She really tries to make the most out of your sessions and is always available for questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone studying for the NCLEX!”
“Hi guys ,Justine is awesome tutor ,I am international graduate nurse from India ,graduated in 2009,it is very hard specially when you are international graduate and you work full time job as LPN and prepare for nclex ,and going through the content after 8 years to write the exam .I gave my nclex rn once before I met her online ,I passed my nclex rn In 2018,I tool 3 sessions from her and she found out what was wrong with me and advised me some strategies,once I like most was killer answers,help,harm or do nothing.i liked the way she teaches ,no doubt she is a awesome tutor ,now I am proud to say I am a RN”
“Justine without a doubt is the best instructor I have ever had. With my busy schedule it made it tough for me to solely focus on studying but with her expertise I was able to manage. Justine will simplify topics for you so that you can understand them more easily. She is also always available to answer questions! She encourages you to stay on task in a positive way. I took the NCLEX prior to working with her and was unsuccessful. I was nervous to take the test again but with her support I was able to do so. I now recommend Justine to every student coming out of nursing school. Just a few sessions with her is enough to ensure you are well on way to passing the NCLEX and starting a career as an RN!”
I struggle with extreme test anxiety and it intensified when I started nursing school. I failed pathophysiology, I bombed the HESI exit exam and was terrified to take the NCLEX. I used UWORLD, Kaplan, Saunders to prepare. But my greatest resource was working one-on-one with Justine. She was able to quickly identify my weak areas and gave me tips, tools and resources to understand content I was missing and helped me figure out test taking strategies that caused so much anxiety. She helped me to nail down SATA and I actually looked forward to each one that came up on the NCLEX! I met with Justine weekly until I felt comfortable to take the test. I prepared to take all 265 questions and to struggle with the exam. But because of my prep, I went in to the exam very confident. 76 questions (24 SATA) and 90 mins later, the exam shut off. 48 agonizing hours later I PASSED on the first try!!!
I read through every single testimonial on this site and I am so glad I followed the advice of everyone else and prepped with Justine. She’s an intuitive, encouraging and experienced tutor. Justine, thank you for all your guidance and for believing in me!

“Dani, RN I graduated nursing in a foreign country in 2016 and after passing the Philippine boards I moved to New York in 2017. I took my first nclex and failed within that year. It didn’t have an effect on me until I was failing multiple times, struggling for a year and half. I literally done every nclex course to help me and nothing worked (even had a personal tutor and she didn’t help as well). I read Justine’s website and decided to give it a chance because I was hopeless, I had no motivation in myself. I also thought that if Justine’s teachings wouldn’t work, I will take my chances with LPN or CNA, just enough for me to get a job in the city. From our first call until our last, she did nothing but motivated, comforted me and did literally everything to make sure I passed this test (giving me tests to do on my own, compiling harder and harder questions every week). Before the day of the NCLEX, I was so motivated and confident with Justine (not even nervous or anxious as how I was before) that even if I fail, I will still keep pushing myself to be an RN because thats how much I love nursing and thats how much I worked hard for to get here. Justine made me see that and after leaving that NCLEX testing site, I was pretty confident and happy with how I tested (even though I did panic when it stopped at 75 hehe). When I saw that I passed, I broke down and Justine called me congratulating me for a job well done. I am without a doubt grateful to have ever met such a sweet, hardworking lady as Justine. Justine, thank you for all your hard work, not just me but for everyone else now and in your future.
My advice for NCLEX is study at your pace, your time (4hrs a day was enough for me). Keep taking on those questions cause it definitely boosts your confidence and motivation. Repeat things you don’t know to remember (lab values, diagnostics, meds). SATA questions is definitely hard but practice can help you solve it better. My NCLEX was filled with SATA questions, meds and there was 1 EKG question. Before the test, I did write the test strategies that I learned from Justine and that guided me along the way.”
“After not passing the Nclex two times, I was lost and didn’t know what to do. I found Justine Buick and she helped me with many things such as: what to study, how to study, how to take notes and if that wasn’t enough she gave the confidence in myself to pass the Nclex. Now, I can finally say that I passed the Nclex in 75 questions and couldn’t have done it without Justine. As her link says, she truly is The NCLEX Tutor!!”
“I highly recommend Justine for anyone who takes the NCLEX, I had taken the test 3 times and found myself in a very distraught place. My partner found her via internet, I emailed her, became her student and after 2 sessions I passed with 98 questions. She analyzed my test taking, my knowledge after the first session and then helped me with what and how to study, outlined a study guide, and lots of handouts with information that was so helpful, She helped me feel confident, and never made me feel like I could not ever do this…..Thank you Justine for everything and helping me accomplish my dream………5 stars!!!!”
“Repeat test taker,multiple sessions,and I finally did it!!
I graduated nursing school 4 years ago and was unsuccessful several times taking the NCLEX. I reviewed by using Kaplan,ATI, and Hurst Review with no success. Losing confidence in myself I searched for tutors and came across Justine. I am so glad I found her. She built up my confidence and allowed me to focus on my strengths and to see my weaknesses. After numerous sessions, my focus improved and she gave me strategies I needed when analyzing the questions,especially the SATA! Justine reviews each question giving the rationale for each correct answer. After 75 questions on the NCLEX, I passed!! I truly recommend Justine for NCLEX tutoring. Her goal is to give you the tools and confidence you need to pass the NCLEX. Thank you Justine, you believed in me at a time I was ready to give up!”
“Finding and working with Justine was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I have a ridiculous amount of test anxiety & had previously failed the dreaded NCLEX twice. Working with Justine taught me to step back & learn how to tackle this test in a different way. She taught me how to analyze questions and guided me through her study process. She was the missing link I never knew I needed and taught me how to slow down & learn to take this test properly! All of her resources are so amazing and she’s so invested & truly dedicated to helping you get through this and pass. I really thought I wouldn’t be able to, but Justine is such a masterful teacher. I now get to return to my job as a medical-float nurse in acute care feeling confident in my skills & free of ‘imposter syndrome’. I feel so empowered and so grateful to have had her help me through this process. I just wouldn’t have been able to do this without her, because I just didn’t know how to write the NCLEX. I didn’t understand how to analyze properly, how to calm down & really think about the questions. “Does it help, harm, or do nothing?” … “These things are serious, but what’s the killer answer”. I used the Saunders Review with Justine & UWORLD to help me practice answering the questions, as it is very similar to the actual NCLEX. I also used my Hurst book as a review, which I had used previously to Justine. After 8 sessions & endless hours of studying and extra youtube videos. I’m finally able to call myself an RN. I’m so proud of myself and the work we’ve done & so glad I had her to help me keep pushing. Thank you so much Justine for working with me, for pushing me to do better, for not giving up on me or letting me give up on myself, and for teaching me to know my limits and play within them. I took four hours to write the test, I took my breaks when I started to get overwhelmed, and it payed off. It’s done! I passed & I am so appreciative to have had the honour of working with you! I know I’m not the first & I won’t be the last, Justine is an angel of nursing. Helping nurses everywhere reach their full potential. Thank you so much Justine! You are amazing.”
“I am beyond excited to say I have finally passed the NCLEX after multiple attempts and being out of school for 6 years. I was so defeated and felt I would never pass it until I met Justine. She prepared me so well that I passed in 75 questions. In my previous attempts, I used Hurst, Kaplan and NCLEX mastery. Justine told me exactly what resources to use, and I did weekly sessions, along with her webinars (which were amazing).The way she teaches you how to analyze the questions makes it so much easier to understand. She truly helped me get my confidence back.The fact that she is such a sweet person and really cares is a big bonus as well. I highly recommend her to anyone taking the NCLEX especially those retaking. Thank you again Justine.”
I previously took the NCLEX twice. I used Hurst review and UWORLD on both attempts. The first attempt I received 265 questions and the second time I received 79 questions. I eventually found Justine’s website and contacted her for help. Justine is awesome. She helped me read the question and understand what exactly the question was asking. I had issues with the “who do you see first”, and priority questions. I randomly used the Kaplan q bank, and RN mastery questions the third time.With her strategies, I believe she truly helped me pass the NCLEX the third time. Justine is very accommodating with her tutor sessions. I did 5 tutor sessions .She also has wonderful webinars. I attended all of her webinars and her EKG session. If your a repeat test or a first time test taker don’t hesitate to contact Justine. It took me three tries but I passed thanks to Justines help. I start my new job June 18. Thanks Justine again!!
“Justine helped me to slow down when I answer my questions, to visualize the setting and what I would do as a nurse in the situation of the question. She helped me realize to go through each answer one by one and either keep it or eliminate it; even though I was taught that in school, practicing with Justine gave me tips on ways to improve. I was just using Kaplan before and I failed the NCLEX with 78 questions. On the second attempt I had been using Saunders to do online questions and reviewed content in the book, which is what Justine uses. I passed the NCLEX the second time with 75 questions. Justine helped me improve with my delegation, priority, and SATA questions which helped me pass my test. During the test I kept using all the helpful pointers Justine gave me, she is wonderful and I am happy I had multiple sessions with her! Thank you Justine!”
“After 15 sessions with Justine, I can proudly say that I am now an MS,RN! Justine is not only the NCLEX queen, but she is also so supportive, patient, and devoted. To say that I would not have passed the NCLEX without Justine is an understatement. If you are struggling with application, content, strategies, or even test anxiety, Justine is your gal. I spent the last 4 months working with Justine and I was actually excited to apply what I had learned to our sessions each week. I followed Justine’s study plan pretty meticulously and attended every webinar she hosted. I also did both Saunders & UWorld questions to study and took both of Justine’s “readiness” tests. If you are even thinking about tutoring with Justine, do it. She provides you with so many amazing tools for the NCLEX that I was even feeling confident going into the test. Be prepared to study, but also be prepared to become a nurse because you WILL with Justine!”
What can I say, I have no words to express the joy of knowing that I passed the NCLEX. After failing four times I honestly started to give up. The thought of re-writing my exam again was horrifying. Endless hours of studying and using different resources, (Kaplan & hurst) nothing was working. My saving grace was when my husband googled away and found Justine’s page.
Doing many sessions and meeting consistently not only taught me how to answer the questions but it also enhanced my confidence and confirmed that nursing was the career for me. When it comes to thanking Justine the term “thank you” is minuscule compared to what I actually feel. Justine provided the one on one feedback and guidance that I needed to feel confident in myself. She is patient, knowledgeable, supportive, and honest. She cares about her students and was available even during random hours when I had a question that needed clarification. I went from being completely lost and failing at 75 questions to passing at 75 questions and having a clear mind and path. Once again, thank you Justine for helping me take the last step to being an RN.”
“Justine is a great tutor! I would recommend her to someone who is preparing to take their Nclex for the first time and repeat test takers. She really engages you during the tutoring sessions by going over several questions with you. She also shares excellent test taking strategies THAT ACTUALLY WORK! She helped me identify my weak areas and mistakes that I made when answering questions, which I found to be very helpful. I was confident during my exam because of my tutoring sessions with Justine. If you are stressed about the test, anxious, worried, and you feel like you need some guidance, Justine is the right tutor for you. With the help of Justine and Uworld, I passed my NCLEX and so can you!”
“Hi Justine,
Sending a quick email to thank you for your help and Webinars. I wrote my 2nd attempt on December 11th and just got news that I passed.I really enjoyed your Meds and EKG Webinars. Also loved the Saunder’s book suggestion.
Thanks again!”
I have never ever been as excited in my life as I am right now; where I have an opportunity to share with the world about how blessed I am to have found Ms. Justine for tutoring me for NCLEX. I am not active on social media, but for this every reason to share my experience I am creating an account on FB so that anyone who is desperate and have lost all hope while pursuing their Nursing license could find this testimonial useful and get the right person to help you achieve your dreams. I am an International nurse who moved to Canada and spent a lot of money since 2012 in getting to this exam. By the time I finished all my required upgrading and preceptorship, I just had only a year to complete my NCLEX exam. I even resigned my teaching job just to focus on my exam and enrolled with Kaplan and studied hard for three months to take the exam in December 2016. Unfortunately, my husband and my son met with an accident the night before my exam and it affected me so bad that I didn’t pass my exam the next day. I was devastated and started getting severe anxiety and had zero confidence to retake the exam.
After three months, I gathered my strength and enrolled for many other online courses like Hurst, NCSBN etc. and started preparing again, and this time I fell sick and was scheduled for a surgery and didn’t make it again. I didn’t want to even think of the exam anymore and I wasn’t ready to give up either. That’s when I came across Justine’s website and reviews online and I emailed her instantly as I felt very strong in my heart that she is the one who would help me pass. It was an instinct and a strong belief that made me feel that she is an Angel send from God as I never had an idea of hiring a tutor all these months while I spend day and night preparing for this exam and enrolled mostly for all the famous NCLEX preparing courses available online. And I was right, such an amazing dedicated professional she is, that the first time I spoke to her and after she listened to my whole story she was very fair and prompt in booking a class for me in her busy schedule in October. She was aware that this is the last chance I had to take the exam as my file with the Nursing registration body here was expiring in December 2017. Thank God I was wise enough to enroll for her available webinars while I waited for my first one on one class with her. Trust me, these were medication webinars and EKG and I have never ever learned them the way she taught this. She had those tactics to help us easily understand and remember the meds and learn their actions, side effects etc. And EKG was another area which I was never confident about. Don’t miss this class, it works wonders. I am an EKG fan right now and even looking for a job in a tele floor to work and learn more about EKGs. Justine is for sure an EKG expert. She is an expert in every areas of Nursing I must say. She has vast knowledge and years of experience doing this and that makes her NCLEX expert.
Justine makes you feel so comfortable and confident and I believe it is because she has the passion and commitment in helping us nurses to make our dreams come true. She loves what she is doing and has 100% dedication towards it. The overall tutoring experience with her was terrific and she helped me in using her strategies in breaking down the questions and I started seeing a drastic change in the way I read and analyzed the questions. I was able eradicate the wrong options easily and look for the key words, and think the way what the NCLEX people were exactly looking for. Another challenge I faced was time management, as sometimes I used to spend more than five minutes on a question and Justine helped me to bring it down to 1 to 1.5 minutes per question. She manages the time so well by just focussing on what we need to and she has the most amazing study plan ever. If you follow her study plan and the recommendations she makes you will start seeing a change in the way you feel about the exam. She would suggest something only if she is very sure that it helps. And she was always right about that as far as my experience with her.
I became a pro in answering SATA and Whom Do You See First questions. Unbelievable! Every day I was learning something new and I was excited for the classes with her as I started believing in myself and had the confidence that this time I will make it. She finished her lessons two weeks prior to my exam and at the end of our session, she gave me sample NCLEX exams and it was again unbelievable how my score differed from that I used to get in the beginning. I was already conquering and having the victory on my side this time.
After listening and following all that she suggested me, YES!!!!!!!!!! I passed my NCLEX and I am an RN in Canada today. If I haven’t found Justine, I don’t know what I would have been doing with my life right now. It shows how much God loves me and wanted me to accomplish my dream that he brought me to the NCLEX Miracle Woman – Justine! I excelled under her tutelage and you can too. May all those nurses who are struggling with their exams, come find these testimonials and chose her to be their GURU. Thank you Justine for believing in me and finding my weaknesses and mentoring me and also for helping me to believe in myself. You changed my life. You made the impossible possible for me. You made my little man, my son the happiest in the world. Words would never suffice to express my gratitude for you. Love you so much and always grateful for all the time and support you graciously extended to me.
If anyone wants to know more about my experience with Justine, please feel free to DM me here on FB or email me at milzmea@gmail.com. Wishing all my Nurse friends, good luck with your studying and May the Lord bless you in making your dreams come true.”

“I graduated nursing school in May and was eager to take the NCLEX soon after. Being that I was pregnant and expecting the baby’s arrival in August, I was in a hurry to get the exam over with. Although I had done well in nursing school and had taken several review courses, I was not confident enough that I would pass the NCLEX on the first try. While talking to a friend she mentioned Justine Buick had helped her after she had failed on her first try. I figured i would try reaching out and hoped for the best. I emailed Justine and she contacted me the next day and we made an appointment to meet. The meeting was the best thing ever. I learned how to answer questions using strategy as opposed to only using known content. We did questions together and formulated a study plan. Throughout studying I got overwhelmed several times. I emailed Justine and she encouraged me to keep studying and gave me tips and resources that were really helpful. We had 4 sessions together and I felt extremely confident a few weeks before my exam. I even rescheduled the exam date to take it earlier. When I came to the exam I sat down and thought “it’s as if I’m doing practice questions”. I went through each question using the strategies that I had been taught. For example- where am I and what kind of nurse am I? Is there a time frame? Are there any killer answers? These were just a few of the tricks that helped me eliminate answers. When I was left with 2 choices I would then think “which one has a better outcome?” And I would choose the best option. After 1 hour and 15 minutes and 75 questions, the computer shut off. I had passed the exam, thanks to Justine Buick for all the support and for giving me the confidence I needed to be successful.”

“When I initially took the NCLEX I went to Two-hundred and thirty questions, and I ran out of time. Luckily I found Justine. Justine thoroughly understood what areas I needed help in. She set up a plan for execution and it definitely led to success. I simply followed her instruction step by step. Her “nugget notes”, and “saunders” were of great help. Her guidance made the questions on the NCLEX very understandable, and clear. She made sure I was consistent with my work and comfortable with all types of questions. She went above and beyond to ensure I had the tools/knowledge needed to pass, also working me into her schedule. The 2nd time I took the NCLEX I passed answering only Seventy-five questions! I can not emphasize enough regarding what a great help, mentor, and tutor Justine was. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for the same results. PASS!!!!”

“I reached out to Justine after failing my NCLEX exam twice. I was unsure what I was doing wrong and why I couldn’t answer the questions right. Working with Justine helped to to break down the questions and understand what they were asking. She provides a safe environment where you both work to identify your weakness and develop strategies to address them. The one thing that really worked for me was developing lists of things I did not know when I got questions wrong, called nugget pages. It was extremely helpful in directing my learning. If you have the chance, attend a group seminar as it helps to learn with other people.”

“Whether you are first time test taker, a recent graduate, or have already taken the exam before, choosing to tutor with Justine will change your life. At first I was skeptical, but after emailing with her about her student pass rate and reading her online testimonials I decided to start tutoring with her. After a few sessions, I realized how I was answering questions had changed. It made me realize I had not had a strategy when answering questions, I was just answering them. Justine taught me test taking strategies and prioritization skills I know I will take with me throughout my career.
I took all of Justine’s med webinars and ECG lectures and she broke down the material in a way that was easy to understand and remember! She tailored our tutoring to my needs and what I needed to improve on. I am sure that without her help I would not have realized what I was doing wrong. She taught me about Nugget Pages which helped me focus. I was not sure if I would ever know enough content, or be prepared enough mentally for the NCLEX but Justine helped me build my confidence!
I also used the Saunders NCLEX book and U-World to pass on my second try!”

“After 4 years of completing nursing school and failing the NCLEX 3 times i knew that i had to change something. I had done Hurst Live, Hurst Online , Kaplan Online etc. You name it I’ve tried it. I decided to google to see what other alternatives were there so i came across Justine’s name. What drowned me to her was that she had helped a Canadian Student passed the CRNE in Canada (Canadian version of Nclex). Since my nursing degree was from Canada I reached out to her and told her my dilemma. She was booked and begged her to put me on her waiting list. Long story short , we did 14 sessions, 5 webinars and all of uworlds questions. If there is anybody out there reading this that needs help with passing Nclex this is your girl. She is the Nclex “god”. She got all the tools you need to help you pass if you willing to put in a little work. I was able to pass in 55mins with 75 questions. Did all that with 2 kids below 3 and if you counting my husband 3 kids lol. You know how men are. But on a serious note if i can do it you can. English is not even my first language. Now Justine I don’t think I can find the right words to thank you for what you have done for my family and I. God bless you and your family beyond measure. May He shine His face on you and Grant you all your heart desire. I thank you, thank you, thank you. Gods Blessings to you

“Hi Justine, Just letting you know I took the exam on the 27th and just found out that I passed! Thank you sooooo much for your help. I got 77 questions. For sure your strategies regarding picking answers that are killer answers definitely helped. You also helped me point out key elements in the questions as far as ages, things like “saturated with blood vs tinged” that helped ALOT.

“THANK YOU!!!
Justine is the REAL deal. I graduated back in 2014 and finally passed my NCLEX exam May 2017, three years later! I was starting to give up on myself, exhausting all my options, feeling depressed, and hearing it from everyone, “When will you pass?” or “Are you even studying?” Being diagnosed with dyslexia sure didn’t make things any easier. It was only then, when God sent me an angel, Justine, to tutor me is when everything started to make sense. I’m not too sure how many sessions I had done but all I know is that every cent I paid was 100% worth it. Don’t get me wrong, you can’t just show up and expect her to do all the work, you have to put in the time. I did 75 questions a day (on Uworld) and reviewed for a good 4 to 5 hours. I also bought the new Saunders book and went over the chapters Justine assigned. My test scores were in the low 40-45 range but towards the end it jumped to an average of 65. My advice is to find out what works for you to retain content because this is very important. For me, it was watching videos and taking notes. Watching and listening to Justine’s webinars really helped a lot. Don’t give up because like me, you will get that PASS on your test with the help of Justine. Thank you again Justine for all your help, you have certainly changed my life and I can’t thank you enough.
P.S. If you need a prayer before you test look up Saint Joseph of Cupertino.”

“Prior to contacting Justine, I did a lot of research for help tackling my NCLEX after I had taken it a few times and was unsuccessful. Being that I felt like I was close to passing, I wasn’t sure where to begin. Justine is very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional from the get-go. Not only did she help me gain confidence, but she also helped me PASS. I am so thankful that I decided to get out of my comfort zone and reach out to Justine. She is nothing less than amazing! Thanks again Justine!”

“To whomever may be researching a tutor-
I am not the type of guy for writing reviews, look at my amazon account, a billion purchases and no reviews! BUT, I passed my NCLEX recently, thanks in LARGE part to Ms. Justine Buick.
I had a solid knowledge base that I did not necessarily believe in. I had hired a tutor before Justine and failed the NCLEX in 265 questions. We studied a TON of content, reviewing 200+ questions a week, 50 or so with the tutor, then 150+ I was “assigned” during the week. Brutal and demoralized would be how I describe those 5+ hours of testing after all that studying.
I have quite intense test anxiety, so having gotten that far, I felt that may be the closest I ever get to passing, and it was hard to see the positive in the situation. I did not want to hire another tutor as it obviously hadn’t worked previously.
My Dad did a LOT of research and came to me with Justine’s website and description of her approach. Her approach was different, not in a negative way, but in a way that made me think it may work. It was more test strategy based as opposed to content based. We have ALL gotten through nursing school somehow, right? So why review content since a lot of the NCLEX is very new and likely never covered in school. The testing strategy is key, not the content.
Like I said, I had doubts about my content knowledge going into my sessions with Justine, but they were quickly put to rest. I passed the NCLEX in the minimum 75 questions after 7 quick sessions with Justine. After each session I got a recap and feel for where we stand. Before my NCLEX she let me know whether I was ready or not; hint- I was ready.
It is nice to be proved wrong about something that can really debilitate your life- Like failing the biggest exam of your life. NOTHING matches the feeling on conquering that negativity. And this is from a guy who doesn’t tend to write reviews. Considering I changed my life by hiring Justine, and now the world is my oyster… I would do it again, knowing that my stress level would be much much better, and knowing that I CAN conquer seemingly impossible tasks.
Now, I have less hypertension worries since my heart rate and blood pressure are back down to normal levels. Don’t do that to yourselves. If you find yourself on this page LOOKING for a tutor, you are like me… Don’t hesitate, ease your mind, hire someone to help conquer this road block in front of your chosen career. There is no shame in getting help from time to time. I wish I thought like that a long time ago. YOU can pass the exam, you just may need some tweaking. Get that friendly nudge, that little bit of help before you pay for the exam numerous times. Get that blood pressure and sense of accomplishment sooner. Justine WILL help, and be very honest and forthcoming from the get go. Help yourself. Good luck to anyone reading this. You can and will get there. Enjoy the career you have ahead!

“I started out using Hurst, Kaplan, Lippincott, and other NCLEX review books and practice questions, but I was not able to pass the NCLEX. In fact, I failed a couple times. I was discouraged, but then I was lucky enough to find Justine. Justine has a great way of attacking NCLEX style questions and she gave me all the tips and strategies to get the questions right. Unlike all the other reviews that I completed, Justine’s nugget pages made sense to me and helped me organize my studying. I can’t explain in words about how great I felt after passing the NCLEX. Justine truly cares about the students she works with and wants them to succeed and become great nurses. I would highly recommend that people work with Justine before taking the NCLEX, that way you will surely pass the first time and not have to go through the stress of failing!! Thanks again for everything Justine. I am officially an RN and I owe it all to you!!”

“I finished nursing school December of 2013, I was so excited to have finished and finally was getting ready to take the NCLEX – RN. I studied my butt off went to take the test and came out of the testing center knowing that I did not pass. Went home did the Person vue trick which went straight to the credit card page I was devastated and I refused to believe it so I waited until I got my results and it said “FAILED”. This went on for another three times with the same results, nothing had changed except for the amount of questions that I would receive and now its 2016. After the failure of my fourth attempt my sister tired of me crying on the phone to her did some research and called me with her plan. “Justine Buick, the NCLEX tutor” I went online and looked her up, her pass rate was awesome and there was testimonials on her site from people like me. So I had my sister contact her,Justine was so nice to work with she taught me the correct way of looking at NCLEX questions and she worked with my availability. I did everything she told me to do, finally I scheduled my test in January of 2017 and went to take it. This time I didn’t have the “I’m so scared” feeling that I always had. The only thing I felt was “I can’t wait to get this over with”, when I completed the NCLEX I went home and did the Pearson vue trick and got the good pop up, I was so excited I called my sisters and told them and I waited until I got the quick results to call Justine and tell her.She was so happy for me, I never could have passed without her. I really wish that I had contacted her far in advance because it would of saved me loads of tears.”

“When I was given Justine’s name I had failed the NCLEX multiple times at 76 questions and at 265 and I had also been out of school for about three years. My confidence was practically non-existent. I had taken the ATI review, Kaplan Review, studied hundreds of questions, purchased multiple books and apps for my phone. From my first session with Justine I knew that I was given such a gift by being put in touch with her. I always knew the areas I struggled in but never knew how to really target my studying. Justine introduced me to the Nugget Page, kept me focused, was able to recognize my strengths, weaknesses and knowledge deficits. Justine offered me so many resources and so much feedback during my 13 weeks with her! She truly is amazing at what she does and honestly I would have not had the confidence to retest without her help. Justine made me work hard, never simply giving me answers to questions I got wrong; instead guiding me, giving me tools and strategies so that I would be able to answer the question myself. On my latest and final attempt at the NCLEX I pass in 86 questions, Justine was my second phone call (right after my mom). She was so genuinely happy for me reaching my goal, and I honestly would not have gotten to this point without her help. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone I come into contact with. Justine is one of the most talented educators I have ever met, I will never be able to express my gratitude to her in words.”

“Justine single-handedly made my dreams come true. Our first session together I got exactly 0 out of the 6 questions right. Instead of making me feel bad or incapable, Justine really helped me break down these questions and understand what they were really asking. Justine showed me that I was making up information and not understanding what the questions were actually asking, something I was completely unaware of before I met with her. The biggest thing Justine taught me is how to think through questions correctly, which turned into me being able to answer questions correctly. In nursing school they always told us that it was so important to do thousands of questions before NCLEX. But after meeting with Justine I strongly believe this is only helpful if you are answering questions the correct way. Justine helped me pass NCLEX in 75 questions on my 4th try, after my last try had been failing with 75 questions. Not only is Justine extremely smart and helpful, she is also very kind and encouraging. This is especially helpful to keep your confidence up, which is important for NCLEX. I can’t recommend Justine enough!! Worth every penny!!”

“As a nursing graduate who wrote the N-CLEX three times, there was a lot of pressure writing it a fourth time. This was my last chance to pass this thing! I did some research about tutors, and stumbled across Justine’s website. She was by far, the most reputable tutor for me to use based on her credentials. I had been studying for about a month, and had a few weeks left, and would to get the most I could out of a tutor. We spent about two-three days on average per week going over questions and really focusing on how to answer the questions correctly. After about three weeks of tutoring with her, it was time. I had to go write this dreaded exam that I was so terrified of. After writing 130 questions, and 5 hours later……I PASSED! Justine was amazing. She really spent the time to help me understand how to answer the questions, and really helped me develop the proper skills to write the N-CLEX. She is so easy to discuss questions and concerns with, and really does want you to do well and pass the N-CLEX. I HIGHLY recommend anyone and everyone to use Justine in their study methods; as you can see, she DEFINITELY helped me out a lot! Thanks Justine!”

“I scrolled down my phone and it dropped from my hands as I yelled, “I PASSED!!!!!” I felt like I won the Mega Millions lottery. After two attempts- the first with 265 questions and a second in 75. I was utterly confused and for lack of a better word, “Pissed!” How did I do worse if I studied more the second time? A friend recommended Justine, so I figured, “Why not?” We met twice a week for three weeks. Having one-on-one sessions going over NCLEX strategies gave me a step by step framework for approaching the questions that I was able to apply towards the test. When I took the test, it was as ifJustine’s voice was guiding me. It proved to be the key difference because I went from failing in 75 the second time to passing in 75 the third/final time. Reach out to Justine as soon as possible because she will provide the road map to success in passing the NCLEX. Mahalo nui loa Justine for helping me pass the NCLEX beast.”

“First, I want to start off by saying Justine is an amazing person and an excellent tutor! From the very moment you talk to her,it is easy to see how passionate she is about helping others pass the NCLEX. Before I met Justine I struggled with passing the NCLEX. I tried HURST and Saunders but none of those seemed to help. I lost all hope of passing but knew I couldn’t give up. That’s when I found Justine and tutoring with her was the best decision I ever made. Justine is very dedicated to helping her students. As long as you study and do your part, you can pass with the help of Justine. She goes above and beyond for her students to get them the resources they need. She also has great strategies to answer any question the NCLEX may give you. Justine is very knowledgable about the NCLEX and different topics you come across in nursing. She is also very easy to talk to, gives great advice, and helps you attain the confidence you need to pass. After having 9 sessions with Justine I was ready to retest. My computer shut off at 88 questions and I was so nervous! Two days later I received the good news that I passed!! It was pleasure working with you! And thank you again for all your help!”

I struggled with test anxiety and I felt I needed something more than just studying the content I already knew. I stumbled upon Justine’s information and thought “why not? lets try this out!” So I emailed her and we hit it off! Our first skype session I KNEW she was going to help me. I learned how to answer the question, and test taking strategies that I desperately needed and couldn’t get out of a book.Justine- you helped me gain my confidence back when I had completely wanted to quit my dreams of becoming a nurse. You gave me all the tools I needed to pass this biggest obstacle of my life. I can’t thank you enough for all of your help, and believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself.

I graduated from nursing school in December of 2014, and planned to take the NCLEX in January. I started to study and realized I needed help. Luckily, I found Justine! When I first met her, she started off by saying “I love tutoring for NCLEX, this is my favorite thing!” After one, 90 minute session, I improved my practice test scores by 5% and by the end of a few session I improved by 10%, then I passed my test. I went for 6 or 7, 90 minute sessions. She doesn’t just care about giving you the strategies and the knowledge to pass the test, she cares about you as an individual. She gave me the confidence I needed to pass this exam. Justine makes it fun to study for the NCLEX and makes you want to practice questions.

You are one of a few that made my clinical experience a good one – one that I’ll always remember! You challenged me in many ways that I know will definitely make me become a terrific nurse!
