I have 17 years of bedside nursing experience, both in Adult Critical Care and Med/Surg, and am now a Clinical Educator for nightshift nursing staff in the hospital where I work. I have a Master's in Nursing Education. I spent the last 3 semesters of my program working in the simulation/learning center at the nursing school that I was attending for grad school. I worked with mostly undergraduate nursing students. Some topics I routinely taught: med administration and calculations, patient assessment techniques, wound care, IV and phlebotomy techniques, emergency management. I am also skilled in cardiac rhythm interpretation, pathophysiology, lab interpretation including ABGs, among many other topics.
I love teaching undergraduate nursing students! I am down-to-earth and approachable, the person people go to when they think they have a "stupid question" and are afraid to ask anyone else (p.s. there are no stupid questions!). As your tutor, I will work with you to figure out where exactly you are having trouble with a certain topic and use different types of learning tools to help you understand. I will take into account your own learning style and how you best learn and retain information. I especially like using case studies and NCLEX-style questions, and sharing my own personal nursing-related stories to help reinforce what I am teaching. I will also take into account what other stressors you have going on in your life...sometimes other things going on outside of school can interfere with your ability to learn/retain information, so we can come up with a plan to help you succeed.
