Sherrie J. Bazin, PhD, RN-BC
Sherrie is an exceptional individual who has dedicated her career to nursing education and the NCLEX prep. As the creator and owner of “The Student Nurse”, she has assisted thousands of nurse graduates in enhancing their practice and advancing their education. With a passion for teaching, Sherrie has been tutoring for both the PN and the RN licensure examinations since 2007, achieving a remarkable 98% pass rate.
Her educational background is extensive; starting with a 4-year business degree/accounting minor, where she gained invaluable experience in the airline industry working for Eastern Airlines, Pan American Airlines, and Continental Connection. Despite several airline bankruptcies, she remained determined and made a drastic move forward by becoming a high school teacher. During this time, Sherrie discovered the shortage of nurses in the medical industry, leading her to complete an accelerated nursing program in Miami and earn her ASN.
With a thirst for knowledge, Sherrie continued to gain nursing experience in various specialties, including ICU, oncology, and Med-Surg. She was board certified in Medical-Surgical Nursing with the ANCC and earned both her BSN and MSN from Excelsior College in Albany, NY. In 2012, Sherrie was hired to design and open a practical nursing program in Northeastern, Pennsylvania. It was during this time that NCLEX prep became her passion, and she continued to earn her terminal degree, obtaining the Ph.D. designation in 2019 from North-Central University.
Her Ph.D., a double major in nursing education and online learning, was a result of hard work and dedication to the field. Sherrie successfully defended her thesis titled, “The Relationship between Reading, Math, Science and English/Language Usage and National Council Licensure Exam Success for Nursing Students.”
In addition to her teaching experience, Sherrie has also held the positions of nursing supervisor/clinical coordinator and Director of Nursing for Long-Term Care and a Critical Access Hospital. She has lived in various locations throughout her adult life, including Miami, Florida, the Big Island of Hawaii, and Northeastern Pennsylvania. Sherrie has been married to her best friend, Gary, for 38 years and has two adult children and one grandchild.
