Nursing school can feel overwhelming, especially when you know the material but struggle to apply it to exam questions. I help nursing students and NCLEX candidates break down difficult concepts, strengthen clinical judgment, and approach questions with a clear plan. Whether you need help with nursing coursework, certification prep, anatomy, or NCLEX preparation; we will focus on where you are getting stuck and build from there.

I am a registered nurse and clinical nurse educator for medical oncology and observation telemetry, with 16 years in healthcare and 8 years as a nurse. I earned my BSN from Trinity Christian College and my MSN in Nursing Leadership from Lewis University, additionally I have my PCCN certification through the AACN. My clinical background includes telemetry, progressive care, and emergency nursing. In my current role, I teach classes and simulations, support new nurses and nursing students throughout their career journey, precept MSN students, and provide clinical skills education. Teaching has been my passion since before becoming an RN. I connect textbook concepts to practical patient scenarios so you can understand what is happening, why it matters, and how to identify priorities.

My teaching style is direct, supportive, and interactive. Sessions can include visual explanations, practice questions with rationales, teach-back, and a focused study plan based on your goals and exam timeline. We will discuss why an answer is appropriate and why the other options are less appropriate. You can ask questions, make mistakes, and work through challenging material without feeling judged. I work at the hospital during the week, but additional appointment times may be available beyond my listed hours. Message me with your course or exam, test date, most challenging topics, resume, or interview date so we can plan a productive first session.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

I am an RN with a BSN and MSN and previous experience tutoring anatomy and pathophysiology. I help students connect anatomical structures to their functions and clinical significance. Sessions can include diagrams, labeling practice, memory aids, and retrieval practice, using your course objectives to guide our work. My goal is to help you understand how structures relate to one another and recall that information independently.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

As a clinical nurse educator, I participate in interviews for my hospital units and work closely with nursing students, new graduates, and experienced nurses. I hold an MSN in Nursing Leadership and bring experience in emergency nursing, progressive care, and telemetry. I help applicants prepare clear, specific responses to behavioral and clinical interview questions, organize examples from their experience, and communicate their strengths professionally. Sessions can include mock interviews, practice with the STAR method, and individualized feedback. My strongest focus is helping nursing and healthcare applicants explain their clinical judgment, teamwork, and readiness for a position.
NCLEX

NCLEX

I am an RN with an MSN and a clinical nurse educator with experience in telemetry, progressive care, and emergency nursing. I help NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN candidates connect nursing content to clinical judgment, prioritization, delegation, and patient safety. Sessions can include Next Generation NCLEX case studies, question analysis, and rationales for each answer option, with review focused on your knowledge gaps and exam timeline.
Nursing

Nursing

As a hospital clinical nurse educator, I teach classes and simulations, support new nurses, and work with nursing students. My clinical background includes telemetry, progressive care, and emergency nursing. I help students understand nursing fundamentals, medical-surgical concepts, pharmacology, and patient prioritization through clear explanations, realistic scenarios, and practice questions. We focus on understanding the reasoning behind nursing care and applying it to coursework and exams.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

I am a registered nurse with a BSN, an MSN in Nursing Leadership, and clinical experience in emergency nursing, telemetry, and progressive care. In my current clinical educator role, I teach nursing concepts and clinical skills, facilitate simulations, and support nurses and nursing students. I help students connect medication classes and mechanisms of action with indications, adverse effects, contraindications, monitoring, and patient teaching. My approach emphasizes medication safety and clinical reasoning, using patient scenarios and practice questions to help students understand what to assess before administration and how to evaluate a medication’s effects.

Best tutor

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about this woman and how much she has helped me throughout my NCLEX journey! ❤️ If you are currently in nursing school, preparing for your NCLEX, or even struggling after an unsuccessful attempt, I HIGHLY recommend having someone like her in your corner. When I say she is absolutely amazing at what she does, I mean that from the bottom of my heart! Preparing for the NCLEX has been one of the most mentally and emotionally exhausting experiences for me. There have been days when I’ve questioned myself, doubted everything I’ve learned, felt completely overwhelmed, and wondered if I was even capable of doing this. Nursing school is hard enough, but preparing for an exam that determines the next chapter of your career is a completely different kind of pressure. What makes her so special is that she doesn’t just sit there and throw information at you or expect you to understand something after hearing it once. She actually takes the time to HELP you understand. She breaks things down, explains the reasoning behind answers, teaches you how to think through questions, and helps you recognize what the NCLEX is really asking. She makes things that once seemed so confusing finally start making sense. One thing I appreciate more than anything is her patience. She never makes you feel stupid for not knowing something, never makes you feel embarrassed for getting a question wrong, and never makes you feel like you’re wasting her time. She genuinely wants you to learn, improve, and succeed. That alone means more than she probably realizes. And it’s not just about the material. It’s about the confidence she helps you build along the way. When you’re already your own biggest critic and constantly second-guessing yourself, having someone who encourages you, believes in your abilities, and reminds you of what you’re capable of makes such a difference. I also love that she doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear. She helps you recognize where you’re struggling and works with you to strengthen those areas. She pushes you to think critically instead of memorizing answers, which is something I personally needed so much help with. You can genuinely tell that this is more than just a job to her. She has a passion for teaching and helping future nurses reach their goals. She puts effort into making sure you actually understand what you’re learning, and that is something you don’t find in everyone. I know firsthand how discouraging this entire process can be, especially when you’ve worked so incredibly hard to get through nursing school and feel like there’s still this huge obstacle standing between you and your dream. Having her help guide me through this process has made me feel so much less alone. I am beyond thankful that I found her and that I’ve had the opportunity to learn from her. Whether you struggle with test anxiety, critical thinking, content, or simply knowing how to approach NCLEX-style questions, I truly believe having the right tutor can make a world of difference. To my tutor, THANK YOU. Thank you for your patience, your kindness, your encouragement, your knowledge, and most importantly, for genuinely caring about the people you’re helping. Thank you for taking the time to explain things without judgment and for helping me find confidence in myself when I’ve struggled to find it on my own. No matter how difficult this journey has been, I will forever be grateful for the role you’ve played in helping me work toward becoming the nurse I’ve fought so hard to be. If you’re looking for an NCLEX tutor who is knowledgeable, patient, supportive, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in your success, I cannot recommend her enough! ❤️🩺 She deserves every bit of recognition because people who truly care about their students and their futures deserve to be appreciated. I wish I could give her more than five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Knowledgable and Beneficial Tutor

Being in nursing school, there are a lot of difficult concepts to learn, and she has been a big help to me! She is extremely helpful and does a great job breaking down information into smaller, easier-to-understand concepts. She takes the time to explain things in different ways until I fully understand them and makes sure I feel comfortable asking questions. She is very knowledgeable, encouraging, and makes even difficult topics feel less overwhelming. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor!
