I am a Licensed Practical Nurse, with over 30 years of experience in healthcare. I also have an Associate Degree in Administration & Management from Excelsior College. During my time as a Nurse on Med-Surg floor at a hospital, I was a Preceptor for "New Nurses" to train both RN and LPN's. My primary focus is preparing both LPNs and RNs to be successful passing the NCLEX Next Generation exam. I have acquired the necessary study materials to include all aspects of the exam, along with Flashcards, and have been actively Tutoring now for over 4 years. I love the interaction with each student. Beginning as a Medical transcriber, bookkeeper, allergy technician, to becoming certified as a medical assistant. All of these were building blocks to becoming successful as a nurse. I have been an Instructor for Certified Medical Assistant Programs at two different Colleges for 7 years, then became the Clinical Coordinator, and then the Director of Education. My passion is teaching adults of all ages in the healthcare profession. My favorite subject is medical terminology, but I also love the "hands on skills " necessary to be successful, such as being a Certified BLS Instructor. Helping students to prepare for their certification exams is also something I enjoy very much by helping them gain the knowledge and confidence to be successful. Watching students grow, learn, and become more confident in their skills and abilities is a great joy for me. It is amazing to teach, but also when some of your students actually become your peers, then you know you have been successful. UPDATE- I have both the New NCLEX-PN and RN Next Generation 2023-2024 Study Guides, NCLEX Test Prep,Flashcards. As a Christian, with my belief in God, I am very strong in my faith, and because of that it allows me to serve and help others As well as spending time with my family and spoiling my grandchildren.
