Kara Cockrell
Kara was born and raised in Durham, North Carolina, and always had a passion to care for others and wanted to become a nurse, like her aunt.
Kara graduated from Watts School of Nursing in Durham with a nursing diploma AND from University of Mount Olive with Associates of Science in 2012.
She failed the NCLEX exam (1st attempt) soon after graduation: was “75 and out” but not in the way you want it to go.
Over the next 8 years, she questioned what she was really meant to do and who she was meant to be…..she always came back to nursing but was so fearful of failing- not just the test, but herself and her family.
Kara started listening to the NHY podcasts, YouTube videos, and attended the free weekly zooms! She started to find hope again, but still needed more content.
She signed up for the 3 week course, stayed in touch with Dr. Zee, followed his method and study schedule the best she could!
"I have never had so much confidence and understanding of the nursing practice"
In May, she passed the NCLEX and wanted to become part of the team to help others who are in the same situation

She is a recent graduate from Thomas Edison State University’s Accelerated BSN Program. Gisselle repeat NCLEX test taker (passed on my 2nd attempt). She became a student of NCLEX High Yield right after her first attempt .
Since she was young, she always knew the she wanted to work in the medical field. Gisselle first sought out pursuing a career in physical therapy but soon realized that she needed more. Even though physical therapy was enjoyable, it was not a good fit for her. Nursing was always her my mind. So, she decided that she did not want to waste anymore time and went back to school to get her nursing degree. She began her program at the beginning of the pandemic, and it was truly a crazy time, but she was able to successfully graduate with the support of her family.
"I very family-oriented person so being part of an organization that feels like a big family is very important and that is what NHY feels like as a student. I received so much support from NHY that I want to pay it forward and help others make their dream become a reality."
STEPHANIE VANCUREN
Nurse Stephanie always new her happiness came from helping others. While trying to pursue a PA degree, she came across NP requirements and knew nursing was the way to go. Her nursing journey began January of 2019 when she was accepted into the University of New Mexico, College of Nursing program, where she earned her Bachelor's of Science Degree in Nursing in May of 2021.
After graduating, Nurse Stephanie had life changing circumstances that prevented her from taking her NCLEX. She had a premature baby who was in the NICU for 26 days. After taking the baby home, and adjusting to having a newborn, she did not know where to begin when it came to studying for the NCLEX. One of her nursing school friends announced that she had just passed the NCLEX and Nurse Stephanie reached out to congratulate her; that's when her friend recommended NHY.
Nurse Stephanie loved the free podcasts but felt she needed more; so, she decided to invest in herself and her future and enrolled in the 5 day course. After two months of studying Nurse Stephanie decided she was ready to tackle the exam. Thanks to NHY and the Method, Nurse Stephanie passed the NCLEX on her first attempt at the end of October and was welcomed on to the NHY team.
Nurse Stephanie is ready to help future nurses reach the finish line. Nurse Stephanie knows the impact hardship can have when one is studying to become a Registered Nurse, but Nurse Stephanie is here to show you that if she can do it, so can you.
