RN with Critical Care Experience

Jodi E.

I am a dedicated registered nurse with over three years of experience across high-acuity settings. I earned a Bachelor of Health Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Missouri. My clinical background includes working on a Cardiology Progressive Care Unit at the University of Kansas Health System and in the Cardiovascular Surgical Intensive Care Unit at the Mayo Clinic, where I've developed strong critical care and patient management skills. I have recently transitioned into a new role in the Emergency Department at the Mayo Clinic, further expanding my ability to provide fast-paced, comprehensive care. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about education and mentorship, providing one-on-one mentoring for pre-nursing students and leading microbiology tutoring sessions in a group setting to support the next generation of healthcare professionals.

My approach to tutoring is centered on building both confidence and competence in nursing coursework. I specialize in supporting students in subjects such as nursing fundamentals, nursing assessment, and NCLEX preparation. I understand that nursing school can be overwhelming, so I break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps while connecting them to real-world clinical scenarios. This approach helps students not only retain information, but truly understand how to apply it in exams and practices.

I provide personalized one-on-one tutoring tailored to each student's learning style. My sessions often include targeted review, practice questions, test-taking strategies, and critical thinking development to strengthen clinical reasoning skills. I also help students improve study habits, time management, and confidence in high-pressure testing situations.

My goal is to create a supportive, judgement-free learning environment where my students feel comfortable asking questions and actively engaging in the material.
