Empowering Nursing Grads and New Nurses

Hi I am Rhoda Sommer RN MSN Ed.

I am here to guide nursing graduates for NCLEX and new nurses make their way to thinking like a nurse. I am in Indianapolis IN. I use the internet to see students in Indianapolis, Greenwood, Beech Groove, Cumberland, Lawerence and Fishers and anywhere the internet reaches.

I am here to help you with your nursing journey and career and to help you succeed at the NCLEX and on the floor for those first two years.

New Nurses

  • New nurses don't fail because they're not smart. They fail because nobody walks alongside them.

  • I'm Rhoda — a nurse and preceptor who has sat exactly where you're sitting. I know what overwhelmed looks like at the bedside. The racing thoughts before report. The fear of missing something. The exhaustion of figuring it out alone.

And I know how to fix it.

  • In our 1-on-1 mentoring sessions, we get straight to work — your patients, your unit, your confidence. We break down your real clinical scenarios, close the gaps nobody warned you about, and build the kind of judgment that makes you dangerous in the best way possible.

  • No fluff. No generic tips. Just direct, personalized mentorship built around you.

Your first year is hard enough. You don't have to white-knuckle it alone.
