"Nursing programs are hard. Then once clinicals begin you are always busy, and you spend a decent chunk of time worried about accidentally hurting someone. You are perpetually stressed, constantly reading, always studying, and occasionally breaking down and going insane for a little bit before pulling yourself back together to make flashcards for the million new terms you have to learn. Sound familiar? I understand. I've been there.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, along with a Minor in Human Biology, from Salem State University in 2006 with a 3.73 GPA. I was awarded both the highest departmental, and highest college-level, awards for graduating seniors. While at Salem State, I supported myself by working in the college's Learning Center, tutoring my peers in chemistry, anatomy, and physiology. For my tutoring, I was presented with a "You Make A Difference" certificate by the Dean of Student Support Services.

I now split my time between working in pediatric home care, tutoring, and teaching NCLEX review courses. I also published "50 Great NCLEX-RN Practice Questions with Thoughtful, Informative Rationales" in December 2022. I enjoy helping my students overcome the tremendous challenges nursing education presents so that they can graduate and then practice as a nurse and provide their patients with the best possible care. I tutor Health Assessment, Fundamentals, Med-Surg, Pediatrics, Pharmacology, and the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN. Your classes only help you if you succeed in them, and you can only begin to recoup the massive investment of time and money a nursing education demands once you've graduated from your program and passed the NCLEX. I meet with some students weekly, some biweekly, and some only three or four times a semester to review before an exam.

If your dream is to excel and graduate from your program so you can confidently begin a rewarding career as a nurse, but you need some help reaching that endpoint, then please message me because I'm glad to help." less...
