About April


Bio

With over 20 years of experience as a registered nurse and a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), I love being a nurse and I love helping new nurses. I truly enjoy Med/Surg and think NCLEX prep is fun — and I'm passionate about helping graduate nurses prepare for success!

With over 20 years of experience as a registered nurse and a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), I love being a nurse and I love helping new nurses. I truly enjoy Med/Surg and think NCLEX prep is fun — and I'm passionate about helping graduate nurses prepare for success!

I currently serve as BSN clinical faculty at a major state university, so I know firsthand the challenges of nursing school. I can support you throughout your entire journey — from day one of nursing school through HESI, ATI, NCLEX prep, and even interview preparation. Whether you're struggling with core concepts, question strategy, or just need a game plan, I can help. If you're a repeat NCLEX taker, don't worry — this is not a reflection of your ability. We will get a plan together and get you passing.
My advanced certifications include CMSRN (Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse), LNCC (Legal Nurse Consultant Certified), TNCC, TCAR, BLS, and ACLS. I've also served on numerous quality improvement committees focused on patient experience, outcomes, and financial stewardship.
My clinical background spans ortho/trauma/burn at a large Magnet-designated Level 1 Trauma Center, where I spent many years as a successful nurse manager. I have hands-on experience in pain management, patient safety, peer review, government regulations, post-op spine care, acute trauma care, burn, elective orthopedic procedures, traumatic orthopedic conditions, med/surg, postpartum, diabetes, wound care, and more!

I believe nursing is a lifelong journey of growth. I would love the opportunity to work with nurses and nursing students who have the heart and desire to make a difference. I commit to making our sessions fun, grounded in realistic scenarios, and full of honest, supportive feedback. You'll be using your nurse brain in no time!

She will help reduce your stress levels while at the same time making sure you know your material and what to do to prepare for your big day. If you need help, don’t look any further. Thank you so much April.

Great tutor, extremely patient!

My first session with April was amazing in just a short time I was able to grasp concepts and strategies to answer NCLEX style questions. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable! I would recommend her if you are preparing to take the NCLEX.

Finally Passed After My 4th Attempt Thanks To April!!!

April is an amazing tutor, and I cannot recommend her enough. I had 16 amazing sessions with her, and she has such a great, positive aura that made me feel comfortable and supported right away. After three unsuccessful attempts at the NCLEX without her, I finally passed on my fourth try with her help at 88 questions. She is incredibly caring, patient, and very knowledgeable. Whenever I didn’t understand something, she always took the time to explain it in a way that made it click. She also made it clear that she never wanted to be an added stressor in my life, but someone there to support me, and she truly lives by that. April is very flexible and understanding with scheduling, which made a huge difference during such a stressful time. She also helped build my confidence in a way I didn’t have before. I am so grateful for her support, and I highly recommend her to anyone preparing for the NCLEX.

Smooth Learning

April has a way to put all the questions into a simpler perspective. For my Exam 1, unfortunately I only got 1 lesson with her but I am getting more for Exam 2. I am excited!

Mrs. Apirl is AMAZING!!

I cannot say enough good things about Mrs. Apirl. She has been absoulutey amazing and truly changed the way I approch the exam. I had taken the NCLEX two times before meeting with her, and even after my thrid attempt, I still struggled to pass. After working with her again and preparing for my fourth attempt, I feel more confident than I ever have. She didn't just teach me content, she helped me understand the concepts, break down the questions, and learn how to actually take the NCLEX. She explained things in a way that finally clicked and tailored everything to my weaknesses. As someone who is a terrible.. and I mean terrible test taker, and add that I have SEVERE test anxitey, Mrs. April made a huge difference for me. She gave me strateiges to approch the questions calmly and logically instead of clicking something becaue it feels right in a moment of panic. Her patience, encouragement, and the knowledge she has are unmatched!! What really shows how much she cares is that I take my test tomorrow and she met with me today just to make sure I feel good, that im confident, and ready to go. That means so much to me, and way more than she probably realizes. Her support, patience, and dedication go above and beyond, and its very clear to she truy wants her students to succeed. I finally feel prepared walking into my fourth attempt, and I genuinely could not have gotten to this place without her. I would recommend her to any one that is studying for the NCLEX, a repeat test taker or even someone that is struggling with a topic in school. Mrs. April is truly a one of a kind person and tutor. I thank her for everything she has done for me!

Passed on my 4th attempt with April

I had 11 sessions with April & I can truly say she was such a big part in me passing my 4th attempt. April’s helped me gained so much confidence and really relaxed my nerves while going through studying for my nclex for a 4th time. She’s really so so sweet & every time I wanted to push back my exam date or wasn’t sure about timing she was just a text away and I can’t express how thankful I was for that support. I really can’t thank April enough for supporting me through this tough journey, if you’ve failed before you know your self doubt overcomes everything every time. Everything she taught me stuck with me and she’s so knowledgeable which is so so helpful. Thank you so much again April!
