Lauren Chapnick is a registered nurse at Northern Westchester Hospital and nursing school success coach who knows the ins and outs of navigating the overwhelming experience of nursing school. As a mother of two young girls and owner of a pet care company in New York City, she successfully completed an accelerated Manhattanville College's second degree BSN program and passed her NCLEX while developing seven key habits that brought her success throughout her nursing school journey.

Lauren's unique perspective as a second-career nurse and working mother gives her a compassionate and practical approach to coaching students.
