New York State Nurses Association: (have utilized all the courses offered by QTSC over the past 15 years)
Throughout the time we have worked with QTSC, Civita and her colleagues have exhibited professionalism, exceptional knowledge in respective fields, and flexibility in scheduling. We have been able to reach thousands of our members allowing them to successfully pass the certification examination they have qualified for. The participants have not only enjoyed the presentations, they have been able to utilize the information for a positive outcome. As a result, many of our member institutions have been able to positively move toward Magnet status. The responsiveness for changes, new course development and presenting onsite at our facilities has provided the support our nurses need. We strongly recommend utilization of QTSC for continuing education courses as well as certification review courses
We thank you for your collaboration over the years and moving forward.

"After failing the NCLEX a few times, I realized I need to find someone that would be able to help me re-focus and re-gain confidence while studying and doing questions. Civita Allard was extremely instructive to help me PASS the NCLEX in June. During the tutoring sessions, she always encouraged me to think positive. She helped me understand the questions and what to look for when answering them. When I was taking the NCLEX this last time, I had confidence with the questions because I followed every step and technique Civita reinforced.
She truly is an amazing person!
THANK YOU SO MUCH CIVITA. May God bless you so much."

"Working with Civita was truly beneficial to passing NCLEX after having failed a few times. Just having her re-focus me to things I should
pay attention to when answering NCLEX style questions allowed me be successful in passing the boards. Being a critical thinker is key to
passing boards and this is what Civita re-focused me during our tutoring sessions.
Thank you Civita! "

"Good Evening, name is Eric and I wanted to take the time and post my experience with Civita Allard. I was feeling uneasy about the NCLEX when I passed nursing school, I knew I had the clinical aspects down but when it came to the questions especially the select all that apply, for some reason I had a hard time trying to decipher what the question was looking for because every nursing student knows that you have to pick the "most correct" answer out of a group of answers that all seemingly could be right. Civita broke down the question for me and made me think in a logical order, by placing the question in a category whether it would be a safety question or maybe it had to do with perfusion, made it easier to eliminate answers because you know that it doesn't correlate to the question. She took the time to help me focus on what the question was asking and how to approach it because being able to read the question and locating key words is essential in answering questions. I recommend Civita to anyone who is looking to take an NCLEX review class because I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I believe it surpassed my expectations. I passed my NCLEX in 87 questions and I can't tell you the feeling I had when I seen "pass" on the two day results screen.
Thank you Civita Allard for everything."
