I have over 35 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and more than 16 years of teaching nursing students in both practical nursing and associate degree nursing. My favorite topics are pathophysiology and medical-surgical nursing. I have developed several concept maps to help break down complex topics for students.
I prefer to work with students on a one-to-one basis to learn their specific learning preferences. I have completed an additional master's degree in Educational Psychology to aid in reducing test-taking anxiety and facilitate testing strategies for the high-stakes testing in a nursing program.

Students state that I have a way of explaining ideas so they can understand concepts, and I utilize several analogies to bring a complex idea into something more straightforward. I have a passion for teaching and making the students feel accomplished by their learning.

I have utilized different standardized testing products as a nursing educator. I can analyze the data provided and assist the student in developing a learning plan for taking their NCLEX exam. I also teach test-taking strategies for NCLEX-style questions.

I highly encourage pre-licensure nursing students to contact me within the first few weeks of the term or semester before they receive failing grades or find themselves lagging. Nursing courses build on each other, and if the students do not establish efficient study habits early, they may struggle in more advanced classes.

Approved Subjects

NCLEX

I teach the decision tree method of eliminating the incorrect answers for NCLEX style questions. This is a successful method of test-taking.
Nursing

Nursing

I teach pathophysiology based on body systems and on concepts. I utilize a variety of teaching styles to help students. Medication calculations and learning medication classifications are essential to nurses. I utilize my expertise in pathophysiology and pharmacology to facilitate learning of medical-surgical nursing care.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

Teach dimensional analysis and other methods of medication calculations. Facilitated pharmacology skills lab for pre-licensure nursing students. Encourage students to learn medication classifications rather than specific medications. Require students to know the nursing implications of medications and perform patient teaching for all medications.
Physiology

Physiology

I have developed a pathophysiology course for pre-licensure nursing students and revised the course as needed. I have created several concept maps to assist students in understanding complex pathophysiological processes. I incorporate analogies to give the student a visual image of the process being studied.

Fantastic!

I have been working with Sherrill all semester. All I wanted was to pass. My first exam I got a 75 which for me was great. I never imagined that my 3rd exam I would have earned a 90. In all of the exam I have taken, 72 is about my average. I was so proud of myself. Sherrill has truly been an amazing knowledgeable tool in my Nursing School journey. I wish I found her earlier but, I know I will continue with her until I get to NCLEX.
