Going through COVID and what seemed like a nightmare was a blessing in disguise. Thanks to instructors, I was able to continue my journey into becoming a nurse. We felt more prepared to take the NCLEX and, through the Unitek system, felt more confident in our skills. We felt welcomed and at home, especially having our instructors by our side! We were family, and we made it!
