Diverticulosis vs. diverticulitis — the NCLEX loves to test whether you know the difference.
One word — diverticulosis — can turn into a prioritization question, a select-all-that-apply, a case study, even a bow-tie. In this episode, Dr. Zee breaks down the outpouchings in the descending colon, how diverticulosis develops, and exactly how it turns into diverticulitis when that bowel gets stuck, infected, and inflamed.

85 & Out: Nurse Brianna Passed the NCLEX — Then Got a Job Offer on the Spot - Episode 81
Season 1, Episode 81
Show notes
UPDATE: WELCOME TO THE NHY TEAM NURSE BRIANNA!
What happens after you finally pass the NCLEX?
For Nurse Brianna, the answer was pretty incredible.
She took the NCLEX, finished in just 85 questions, passed—and was offered a nursing job on the spot.
In this episode, Dr. Zeeshan sits down with Brianna to talk about her NCLEX journey, how she prepared, what helped her during the exam, and what it felt like to finally become a nurse.
Brianna also shares what she learned along the way and her advice for students who are still working toward their own NCLEX pass.
If you're studying right now, this is one of those episodes to listen to when you need to remember why you're doing all of this work.
85 and out. NCLEX passed. Job offered. The next chapter begins.

I especially like “85 & Out” as recurring branding. Every time you get an 85-question testimonial, we could use 85 & OUT as the thumbnail/series title so students begin recognizing it immediately.
