FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions…

Is there a guarantee to pass the NCLEX with your review?
NO review program can guarantee success and you should be wary of any program that does. The Sycamore Learning Center For Nurses would like to have our students study hard and pass the exam the first time.

Can anyone get into your review?

Sycamore NCLEX Review is a very comprehensive, in depth, nursing review geared for those absolutely serious in passing the exam. We will not give you a quick fix. We demand hard work and participation. There is a brief screening process in order to get into our review. We do not accept everybody in order to maintain a high standard and high passing rate.

Who teaches the class?

This comprehensive review will be conducted personally by Ms. Esther P. Gomez, R.N., BSN, MSN, CPC, a California-based registered nurse who studied, trained and  practiced in the US for over 30 years as a clinical nurse and nursing faculty. Ms. Gomez has conducted NCLEX-RN/LPN/LVN reviews with a high pass rate since 2003.

Do you conduct practice tests?

Yes, we have computer set up simulation tests to better prepare you for the actual NCLEX exam.

I would like to speak to the teacher before I register. May I do so?

Sure. Just let us know and we can set that up.   

May I sit in a class session before I register?
Sure. You may sit in with a pre-existing class session for 1 hour by appointment only.

What is covered in the class?
All the major topics as outlined on the NCSBN.org website. The NCSBN is the organization that administers the NCLEX exam.

What's your success passing rate?
We have a very high passing rate. Our percentage reflects ALL of our students who have taken the NCLEX and not just those who call us for an update.

If I miss a class, how can I make it up?

No problem. You can make up the class you missed in the next scheduled session. In the rare occasions when class is canceled, a make-up date will be scheduled.


Reservations:

Will you hold my seat if I give my name?

No. The only way to secure a spot in the class is with a registration fee. We are happy to add your name to the roster, but that will not guarantee your seat.

My friend wants to take the class with me, can I reserve him/her seat?
Only if you are making her payment and have all of her contact information.It is usually best to have your friend with you or have her call to make the reservation herself.

Can I make a reservation online through the website?
Yes, but only with a credit card payment through Paypal. Each person must register separately through the website.


Payment:

When is payment due?

We recommend that students make a full payment for the program no later than 2 weeks prior to the start of the class. This will secure your seat and guarantee your spot in our program.

How much is tuition?
For new students, the class fee is $350 for LVN’s and $380 for RN’s. We offer a 50% discount for verified repeat students (within 2 years of last class). This cost includes taxes and all review materials.

Do I have to pay the full amount right away?
No. You can make a deposit to hold your seat in the program with the remaining balance due on the first day. We can also work out a payment plan, which MUST BE APPROVED first.

How do I make a deposit?
You can make a $50.00 deposit by mail with a cashier's check or money order. You can also make a deposit by credit card through Paypal. Credit card deposits are $50 minimum.

Can I get a refund?
We advise that only those who are truly serious about passing the NCLEX exam to join our program. Our review is very in-depth and intense and we would not want to waste your time. Therefore, if after the first break of the first session, and you do not feel the review is for you, you are free to back out with a refund, NOT INCLUDING your deposit. .

When is the balance due?
The full balance is due on the first day of class to ensure your spot and review materials. Registration balance may be paid on the first day only if paid in cash, cashier's check, credit card, or money order, or a prior payment  arrangement that has been approved by us.
