Your Instructor
Hello, my name is Jorelie Anne Guirao, but I am known as Nurse Jojo! I hail from Bergen County, New Jersey.
In 2013, I graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey with accolades in the Nursing Honor Society. It was during this time I found my passion for helping struggling nursing students pass nursing school and the NCLEX.
After working as a nurse for over 5 years, I decided to pursue my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) specializing in Nursing Informatics.
Since 2017, my NCLEX Digital Flashcards and Nursing Mnemonics have helped nursing students pass the NCLEX with confidence. Over 1500 students have purchased my products and with my unique approach to learning, you can also feel confident when the NCLEX comes around.
