This story is about Dr. Eliscer Guzman and my bringing successful Dominicans to serve as strong role models for immigrant children.  My particular involvement began when Mayor Koch invited a select group to a breakfast at Gracie Mansion-the Mayor’s residence-to initiate a mentoring program called «Latino-Adopt-A-Class» program. I was hooked and served as a Corporate volunteer for many years.

At the time, New York City schools were fighting a tremendous 54% high school drop-out rate and rampant drugs. Conditions were dismal.

Our mission was to create ideals by selling the concept of staying in school to 12-year-old 7th graders.

I was lucky since at the time I knew many doctors in training and was able bring their stories and aspirations to children in Harlem and Washington Heights. However, one «rags-to-riches» story glaringly stood out and is one of my favorites.

The life of Dr. Eliscer Guzman, today an important and prominent Dominican New York Cardiologist, was inspiring and impressive.

Dr. Guzman, known to his friends as » Felix», has to be one of the most truly unpretentious and self-effacing residents of Scarsdale, N.Y.-one of the most exclusive and luxurious suburbs in the United States.

This is difficult to explain to Americans since the United States is in effect considered a classless society. However as a teen I learned social differences from the two countries by spending summer vacations from Philadelphia in Santo Domingo and how the rich simply just did not mix with the poor.

Like many countries in Latin America, if you were born poor in the Dom. Rep. you would die poor. No way out, without upward mobility like today.

A young Dr Guzman, raised by a loving grandmother, never gave up his dream of becoming a doctor. She was raising 8 children besides Felix. Although he performed very well in school his dream of becoming a doctor seemed always elusive. Growing up he held many odd jobs. One was living in a restaurant with the deal that he would prepare early breakfast for truck drivers. He slept on the floor for 5 months.

Winning a scholarship to Pedro Henriquez University was the beginning of his medical career. The University, also known as «UNPHU» for short, was really a place for the well-to-do class.

D,Mariano Defillo & Dr.Teofilo  Gautier, le extendieron la mano al Dr.Guzman.

However as fate would have it, two professors mentored him and even supported him financially. Dr.Teofilo Gautier, along with Dr. Mariano Defillo were two renowned physicians that championed poor students.

They mentored Felix with moral support and often times with 25 cents that could by a good breakfast.

Certificaciones y Posiciones Obtenidas  por el Dr.Eliscer Guzman:

After arriving in the United States, Dr.Guzman became a Board Certified Cardiologist, a Deputy Inspector and Captain of the New York City Police Department, Chief of Cardiology of Woodhull Hospital, Assistant Clinical Professor of the State University of New York, on staff of Columbia Presbyterian, and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He is a great role model for young and old.

Feuer Nursing Review is the original and most accomplished RN and LPN nursing review course in America since 1971 withan over 94% of our student nurses pass the NCLEX nursing exams. We will guide you before, during and after the course to ensure that you have the very best chances of passing the NCLEX tests. Unlike other courses that give you just the questions, we cover the nursing content as well as the test taking strategies needed to ensure your thorough understanding and to reinforce your learning.

Feur RN Review Programa & Que lo hace diferente a los demas?

Founded in 1971 by Dr. Helen Denny Feuer, RN, the Feuer Nursing Review was established to help student nurses obtain the confidence and acquire the knowledge required to pass the NCLEX RN or NCLEX LPN exams.

As Dr. Feuer was completing her Ph.D. in Nursing Education, it became apparent to her that many capable and intelligent nursing students were struggling to pass the state board of nursing exams. She realized that this was not because they did not know the material; but rather that the nursing students did not know how to pass the NCLEX exams.

By combining her passion, experience and intuition, Dr. Feuer created the original and foremost NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-LPN exam review course in the country, ensuring that, the students are given every chance of passing their nursing boards.

Today the course is as successful as it is prestigious. By educating and preparing nursing students as they learn, Feuer Nursing Review boasts an NCLEX pass rate of over 94%.

What makes us different
Aqui esta la diferencia para comparar

Qualified – Our faculty is exceptionally qualified. You will not find another NCLEX review course out there with more dynamic and experienced instructors.

Passionate – Nursing is what we do. Other review courses may offer nursing as one of their ‘options’; we offer only nursing. We are totally focused on one goal – making sure that YOU pass the NCLEX boards.

Dedicated – Your career as a nurse is too important to be left to guess-work, so we review EVERYTHING that might be on the boards, unlike other courses, we highlight particular topics to emphasize.

Up-to-date – We are continually reviewing and revising our content to ensure that you are best prepared as a student for your exams, and as a nurse for life.
