Med-Surg RN Tutor|NCLEX, Dosage Calculations & Clinical Reasoning

Margaret U.

I am a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, graduating with a 3.92 GPA. I am board-certified in Medical-Surgical Nursing and also hold a geriatric nursing certification. Before becoming a nurse, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and a Master’s degree in Environmental and Public Health Microbiology, giving me a strong foundation in biology, infection, disease processes, and the sciences that support nursing care.

Teaching has always come naturally to me. From my early school years through college and graduate education, I was often the student in study groups who helped break down difficult concepts into simpler explanations that made sense to others. I enjoy taking information that feels overwhelming and making it more understandable, organized, and practical.

I currently work in adult medical-surgical nursing, where I regularly use clinical reasoning, prioritization, patient assessment, medication knowledge, and evidence-based nursing practice. I especially enjoy helping students understand the “why” behind nursing concepts rather than simply memorizing facts. I am comfortable helping with medical-surgical nursing, dosage calculations, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, NCLEX-style questions, prioritization, and clinical reasoning.

I also understand how demanding nursing school can be when life is happening at the same time. I completed my BSN with a 3.92 GPA while pregnant with my first child, which taught me the importance of studying efficiently, staying organized, and breaking large amounts of information into manageable steps. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, strengthening their understanding, and building confidence in their ability to succeed.
