The Drop Effect

Two episode types — testimony episodes for your heart, teaching episodes for your mind.

Episode 4: Stop Guessing. Start Knowing.

Stop guessing. Start knowing. Prof. Darline Riggs introduces the A-P-E Method — Analyze, Prioritize, Evaluate — a systematic approach to conquering those tricky analysis-level NCLEX questions where all four answers look correct. This isn't theory from a textbook; it's a strategy developed through years of test development experience and doctoral research. If you've ever narrowed it down to two answers and picked the wrong one, this episode is for you.

Bricks in My Bookbag

What do you do when survival means carrying rocks to school? In this deeply personal testimony episode, Prof. Darline Riggs shares what it was like to flee Haiti at 9 years old, arrive in Miami speaking no English, and face relentless bullying simply for being Haitian. From learning to fight back to learning to forgive, this is the story of how pain became purpose — and how the very things that were meant to break her became the foundation for everything she's built.

Instead, one woman's radical act of grace changed everything.
