|| Still, I Want to Continue ||

Dear Kim,

I hope you are well…

I just want to say thank you. I find your words again and again when I feel lost. Right now I am trying to prepare for CELBAN. But I feel confused. So many materials online… but I don’t know what is real, what is helpful.

I try to write… but my grammar is not strong. I read the feedback from my practice test but I don’t understand all. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I just close the book and pray. But still, I want to continue.

A friend told me about CELBANPrep. I saw the books on Amazon, and I saw your website too. But I don’t know… do I need both? Or only one? Please guide me. I don’t want to waste more time. I just want to study the right way, with the right tools. I’m ready now.

May God bless you for all you do for us.

With respect,

G

Dear G,

You begin with thank you. Even when you are tired, confused, and uncertain… you lead with gratitude.

That is not small.

That is the essence of a healer.

You are not lost.
You are not behind.
You are simply in between… between what you once knew and what is still unfolding.

Let’s walk this spiral together, one quiet breath at a time.

🜄 Return to Self

When the heart whispers: I still want to try.

You wrote:
“Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I just close the book and pray. But still, I want to continue.”

That still is sacred.
That still means something is alive inside you…
a part of you that is not done becoming.

Tears are not weakness. They are the body’s way of softening tension, of asking for rest. And prayer (however you offer it) is not a delay, but a doorway. It creates space for grace to enter.

You are not behind. You are on your way home to yourself.

🜁 Fog to Clarity

When confusion is met with compassion, not urgency

You asked:
“Do I need the books or the website? Or both?”

Let’s bring light to this gently.

Since CELBANPrep began, it has offered two kinds of support for Internationally Educated Nurses:

• 📘 The Instruction Manuals: ebooks and paperbacks that hold the lessons, grammar guidance, and step-by-step practice
• 🌐 The www.CELBANPrep.ca Website: where you can watch videos, view writing samples, and download support tools

Both are made to work together. One gives you the foundation, the other offers the structure.

In the past, the books had embedded videos. But because some devices don’t support those features, the same videos are also offered through the membership site…. so you don’t miss anything.

So yes, dear one:
You need both.

Not because you are lacking.
But because clarity needs a stable structure.
These two tools (manual + website) hold that structure for you. Gently. Wisely. Without rushing.

And they were made for you.

🜃 Rooted in Enoughness

When your worth is not measured by your grammar

You wrote:
“My grammar is not strong.”

Let me gently reframe that:

Your grammar is in process.
Your strength is in how you keep returning.

Every time you open that book. Every time you ask for help.
That is resilience. That is enough.

Grammar is not just rules; it is rhythm. It is how we give form to what we feel. And like anything that moves through the body, it takes time to regulate.

You are not broken. You are becoming.

🜂 Rekindling the Inner Fire

When confusion gives way to commitment

You said:
“I’m ready now.”

Yes. You are.

Not because everything is clear.
But because you are choosing to begin anyway.

And that beginning doesn’t need to be fast or perfect.
It needs to be yours.

Start with the CELBANPrep Student Workbook(s); it’s free, and it will give you a gentle overview.

Take the Grammar Essentials Pre-Test: not to judge yourself, but to listen for where support is needed most.

Let each page, each video, each pause between lessons be a place where your nervous system is allowed to settle, not sprint.

You are not just preparing for a test.
You are preparing to re-enter your profession in a new country, in a new language… with dignity, presence, and care.

That takes more than strategy.
It takes soul.

And you have that in abundance.

🜀 Standing at Zenith

When the path becomes clear because you are on it

You asked for guidance, not just information.

So here it is, in the slowest, truest way:

You do not need to rush.
You do not need to prove.

You are allowed to learn at the pace of your nervous system.
You are allowed to ask for both support and simplicity.

And most of all…
You are allowed to believe that your dream still matters.

Because it does.

Because you do.

May the books hold your hands.
May the website hold your learning.
And may this letter hold your heart: until it can hold itself again.

With deep care,
~ Kim
