Could it really be 5 years? Yes, it has and it's gone by in a blink of an eye. Little did we know the heavy lift it would take to create a product that didn't exist. There was no template or consultants or experts to draw upon to help create a national and state-specific nurse aide test prep. We were in uncharted territory, there were many questions, and few answers. Would the nurse aide community find the resources valuable? Would they believe it could benefit the schools, teachers, and students? Would someone really pay for the content? Could it be profitable?
Despite our humble beginnings and much uncertainty, we persevered, cautiously confident the need did exist for a credible, reliable, and accurate nurse aide test prep.
We've grown over the years while navigating tough business cycles like any other business. But we marched ahead! So what's the secret to our staying power, to our continued growth? Well, there's not one single factor to point at, but rather a multitude - an entire package! It's our continued passion to deliver innovative content, It's our exceptional customer service - yes, you really can speak to a live person. It's listening to the needs of our customers and executing their requests quickly (a rare quality). It's in building strategic relationships with organizations that share our mission. But of all these factors, two are at the top...keeping the services affordable and a team with unwavering dedication and a commitment to the nursing assistant training community!
We are beyond grateful for your continued support!
