NICHOLAS JOSEPH FURY

“Bought this packet for my CEN, studied the material for 2 days and took the exams provided. Took my exam today and passed. The information provided was easy to read and paralleled the exam."

JAMIE CRYER-TIBALDO

“My experience with PDB Nurse Education has been great.  Pam is not only a phenomenal educator, but uses storytelling and humor to solidify the ideas she is presenting.  The review courses are easy to schedule and easy to fill (when nurses hear she is presenting, they line up to save their spot!).  Thank you Pam for providing the education needed to significantly increase the certification rate of our ED Nurses!"

ANDREA NOVAK / PhD RN-BC FAEN; CE ADMINISTRATOR / SOUTHERN REGIONAL AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER

“Pam just taught a class here in NC and got great reviews- 5.0 out of 5.0 for scores on her presentation and content as well. She was very thorough, very professional, and sent me her paperwork and documentation in a timely fashion.  I wish all the speakers we bring in were as good, I look forward to bringing her back to teach other courses"

SAMANTHA SCHWARTZ-PHILLIPS

“I've been a nurse for 28 years in critical care and emergency nursing. You are the best educator I've ever known. Not only do you have a wealth of knowledge but are very effective in delivering and sharing that, your lectures are captivating. You instill passion into each nurse that has been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to attend any classes or courses that you teach. I thank you for all you have ever done for me and other nurses, for without you and others like you, we would not be the accomplished nurses that we are today."

VICKY JACKETT / RN

"This nurse is an exceptional instructor.   She exhibits passion and enthusiasm for teaching others.  Her overall goal is to meet the needs of her audience.  I feel like this comment from class describes her perfectly.  “The instructor was energetic and enthusiastic; she made the course interesting as well as entertaining.  Her humor was well placed and appreciated.  She exuded knowledge and explained the material in a manner that kept the entire class involved and interested.  Not only did I enjoy the class, I walked out wanting to take it to the next level!"

REBECCA JACKSON/ BSN RN / EDUCATION COORDINATOR

"Pam is what I would regard to as Crème de la crème (Best of the best) of certification review courses. How do I know you ask? I attended a CEN course, went took it and passed with relative ease. Less than 12 months thereafter, I attended her TCRN 2 days review course, passed that as well, with an even improved score. I am hugely thankful to her for that. Her attention to detail in sifting/narrowing through the critical must know for the exam content is unmatched. For both review courses, I had to make the travel to the hospitals hosting these classes and it was worth every effort and time invested."

OSCAR JAYHAY/ BSN RN CEN TCRN / CONE HEALTH

"I have been around many instructors in my life, but none have energized me as much as Pam does when it comes to education and the ENA. No matter when you run into her, she is always mentoring someone and raising awareness of how important education and the ENA are."

SHAWN CROWLEY/ MSN RN CCEMT-P 

"Upstate AHEC has partnered with Pam Bartley for educational programs for countless years. Upstate AHEC has utilized Pam's services to offer CEN, CPEN, TCRN, PCCN,and CCRN to clients. Pam's live programs are not only informative, but they are engaging and entertaining, and we repeatedly get requests to bring her programs back. Pam's services have been a long-standing part of the Upstate AHEC certification review course yearly line-up. Pam's wealth of knowledge, resources, and creative teaching methods have contributed to impressive passing rates within multiple nursing certifications. We would highly recommend partnering with Pam for your nursing education needs."

LAUREN TAYLOR MBA/DIRECTOR OF CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT/UPSTATE AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER  

"This lady knows her stuff. I ordered the CEN study guide, which got here in a timely fashion I might add. It is thorough and organized with a no-nonsense approach. She teaches you not only what you need to know, but how to be a better test taker. I’m studying to take the test later this month and I’m loving all the information I’m learning and relearning. Thank you for what you do!!"

SELENA FOLSOM/ALABAMA  

"Just passed my CEN this week! Pam’s CEN review manual is a great resource full of information and practice questions. I feel this book helped me in so many ways. Lots of topics were bolded and stated in a way that is easy to remember. If I lived closer to SC, I would love to take her actual course. I highly recommend PDB Nurse Education. Thanks Pam!"

MICHAELA ELIZABETH  

"Three months of determined studying. This was my most used resource. I love the way the material is broken down into easy to understand and ‘need to know’ material. I highly recommend the use of Pam Bartley’s study guides."
