NurseMoneyDate®.
April comes from a family of nurses, from her big sister in the OR to her mom working on an LTAC unit. As a Filipino, nursing isn't just a career. It's part of the culture and the language at home.
She grew up in Chicago and spent seven years working in healthcare, with the majority of that time as a pediatric nurse. After stepping away from the bedside, she took everything she had learned about money and built something specifically for the nurses around her. NurseMoneyDate® launched in 2021 and has been growing ever since.

She grew up in Chicago and spent seven years working in healthcare, with the majority of that time as a pediatric nurse. After stepping away from the bedside, she took everything she had learned about money and built something specifically for the nurses around her. NurseMoneyDate® launched in 2021 and has been growing ever since.
NurseMoneyDate® was built to be nurse-specific, because traditional financial advice often doesn't reflect the realities of this profession. The schedules, the income patterns, the emotional demands, the family dynamics; all of it shapes how nurses experience money.
April teaches both the strategy and the behavior because a financial plan only matters if you understand it, trust yourself enough to use it, and can keep returning to it as your life changes.
