Thank you so much Rhoda! After failing my NCLEX 2 times, I needed help figuring out what I was doing wrong. I found out about Rhoda’s tutoring program through work, and I gave it a shot. I can officially say that she helped me pass on my 3rd attempt, and I’m so thankful. If you ever need help passing the NCLEX, you should go to her; she’s great at communicating and helping you through questions and understanding why you got them wrong. Definitely recommend to anyone who is struggling like I was!

❤️More Than Tutoring
Mentoring, encouragement, accountability, and someone who truly cares about your success
🎯 Clinical Judgment That
Last
I don't just teach you how to answer questions—I teach you how to think like a nurse. That means strengthening your clinical judgment for the NCLEX and for real patient care.
Honest Guidance You Can Trust
If you're ready to test, I'll tell you. If I believe you need more preparation, I'll tell you that too. My goal isn't just to help you take the NCLEX—it's to help you pass it.
Support Beyond the Classroom
Whether you're preparing for the NCLEX or navigating your first year as a nurse, you don't have to figure everything out alone. You'll have encouragement, accountability, and practical guidance every step of the way.
🩺More Than 40 Years of Nursing Experience
I've been a nurse since 1981 and have served as a bedside nurse, educator, and mentor. I understand both the challenges of nursing and the journey it takes to build confidence.
🤝At One on One Tips, I believe progress—not perfection—is what leads to success. My goal is to help you become a safe, confident nurse who is prepared for both the NCLEX and the realities of patient care.
