A Legacy of Student Success
Merit Technical Institute is one of the best LPN schools in the United States. I was almost discouraged because of some negative reviews I read on this website, but I decided to give it a try, and in the end my experience was very beautiful. The lecturers were very dedicated. The school prepared me in a way that made me pass my NCLEX in just one try. That is it! Immediately I passed, I knew my preparation by Merit was what did it. Thank you, Merit.

I successfully passed the NCLEX exam on my first attempt. The exam concluded at the 85th question, and I felt confident throughout the process, which was a first for me. I attribute my success to the support and guidance I received, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have returned to Merit for a second chance. I am proud to be a part of the Merit Nurse.
