Dr. K is not an easy teacher, but that is because there is so much info and so little time to give it to you. It may seem like he is giving too much or you don't understand his method, but he has written for the NCLEX and my class just got an avg of 1166 on the HESI (out of 1200) so trust him and know that he is getting you were you need to be

He is the prime example of a great leader. He talks the talk, and walks the walk. He is passionate, yet understanding. Communicate w/ him, he will work w/ you!
