Bio

With almost 20 years of experience as a registered nurse, I can honestly say I love being a nurse and I love helping new nurses. NCLEX prep is fun, and I truly enjoy helping graduate nurses prepare for success. Whether you are struggling grasping concepts, understanding fundamentals, or need help with question strategy, I can help. Currently, a clinical faculty at major state university, teaching adult health to second semester BSN students. The challenges of nursing school are real,...

With almost 20 years of experience as a registered nurse, I can honestly say I love being a nurse and I love helping new nurses. NCLEX prep is fun, and I truly enjoy helping graduate nurses prepare for success. Whether you are struggling grasping concepts, understanding fundamentals, or need help with question strategy, I can help. Currently, a clinical faculty at major state university, teaching adult health to second semester BSN students. The challenges of nursing school are real, especially during the pandemic. Unfortunately, not everyone is prepared for the NCLEX the first time, don't worry, this is not a reflection of your ability. I spent many years as a successful nurse manager of an ortho/trauma/burn unit at a large Magnet designated acute care level one trauma center, and am familiar with hiring, mentoring, coaching, and teaching both graduate and experienced nurses. Engaging and make connections with nursing students and graduate nurses comes naturally for me.
In addition to an MSN, BSN, CMSRN, TNCC, TCAR, BLS, and ACLS, I have served on numerous quality improvement committees and projects resulting in improved patient experience, quality patient outcomes, and financial stewardship. Including experience in pain management, patient safety, peer review, government regulations and reimbursement, post-op spine care, acute trauma care, burn, elective orthopedic procedures, traumatic orthopedic conditions, medical-surgical care, postpartum care, diabetes, wound care, mental illness, addiction, and psych.
I believe nursing is a life-long journey of continuing education, new experiences, and adapting to the healthcare needs of the patients we serve. I would love the opportunity to tutor nurses or nursing students that have the heart and desire to make a difference but may be struggling with fundamental concepts and application. Please contact me for your tutoring needs. I commit to making it fun, using realistic scenarios, and provide honest feedback.

Enthusiastic and thorough

April really encouraged me and showed me how best to tackle my NCLEX journey. I had so many questions for her and she really knows her stuff. She also made it really fun, which helps me retain information easier. I would highly recommend her for any stage of your learning journey. April is fantastic!

For anyone who is having to retake the NCLEX, look no further

Anyone who is struggling and looking for help April not only gave me back the confidence i needed after failing the NCLEX twice, she helped me reorganize my thinking process while reading through and answering questions. April gave me confidence in myself to not second guess or dwell too much on questions and look at the specific words i needed to key in on to find the correct answer. Without a doubt in my mind that without April I would not have passed.

Great Teacher and very patient

She has helped me be more confident in what I know. I have tried everything from Kaplan, Evolve, Saunders, and another tutor. April has been able to help me in more ways then all of these study tools. For that I am greatful. So if you are feeling lost and like you have hit a dead end. The April is the tutor for you.

Awesome tutor and a truly great person!

I’m so grateful to have found April in my search for an NCLEX tutor. I’ve only had two sessions with her but I can already tell a difference in my confidence level. I really look forward to our sessions because to me it feels much more than just tutoring with someone I don’t know and/or someone who has no interest in knowing me. She makes you feel so comfortable, capable, and cared for. She wants you to do well and more importantly makes me believe in myself. When working on question repetition, she covers content I need refreshing on and doesn’t make me feel incompetent for not knowing something. For myself, not knowing something I feel I should probably know impedes the likeliness that I will ask the necessary questions and is also based on who I’m working with. However, with April I feel free to be open and honest about things I don’t know or need help with. She ask what I want to focus on and provides resources for review. She’s not the type to sit and write out a bunch of NCLEX rules that tack on more distractions (imo), although I’m sure she would if you asked her to. She teaches you as you go and reinforces background knowledge. Sometimes it’s hard to ask questions if you don’t know what you don’t know.. April will tell you before you even ask, it’s awesome. We have worked on med math, content review, pacing, select all that apply, etc. She’s not interested in being punctual about our time frame and more interested in providing a quality tutor session where I’ve gained something from our time together. In addition to her beneficial tutoring style, she cracks me up. She’s real with you and you can just feel the authenticity of her personality. I feel like she’s vulnerable with me just as much as I am with her and that’s so valuable to my learning style as well as in establishing a safe place to study and get better. I can’t recommend her enough, love our time together and the way I feel following our session. I believe my progress can only go up through studying with her and that’s something I’ve prayed about for a long time now. You’re the bomb April, thank you for being you! - Callie Freeman

Excellent

April is very welcoming and makes you comfortable. She is willing to go through questions with you and help you better understand topics you aren’t strong with, and helps you think like a nurse, helping you eliminate certain answers

Highly recommend

April is patient, judgement free from errors and very informative. Most of all she gives you confidence to trust your gut instincts and thought process. I would recommend her to anyone from people who are just starting nursing school to nclex. She’s willing to work with you with time constrictions and all. Easy picking of her to help you progress your nursing success.

Great NCLEX Review Session!!

Ms. April is such a patient and knowledgeable tutor. She’s very kind and is eager to help. Our first session was super simple and to the point. She talked through some basic nursing and NCLEX points. We then continued on to do practice questions, and she provided me with feedback on my strategy and rationales for selections. I would definitely work with her again!
