About Reid


Bio

I know how stressful "Select All That Apply" (SATA) questions and the Next-Gen NCLEX (NGN) can be, but these challenges become manageable once you start thinking like a seasoned nurse. As an OHSU BSN graduate with nearly 7 years of RN experience across Level 1 Trauma ER, Pediatric ER, ICU, Intermediate Care, and MedSurg (and over 12 years of total healthcare experience), I have spent my career making high-stakes decisions in high-pressure environments.

I know how stressful "Select All That Apply" (SATA) questions and the Next-Gen NCLEX (NGN) can be, but these challenges become manageable once you start thinking like a seasoned nurse. As an OHSU BSN graduate with nearly 7 years of RN experience across Level 1 Trauma ER, Pediatric ER, ICU, Intermediate Care, and MedSurg (and over 12 years of total healthcare experience), I have spent my career making high-stakes decisions in high-pressure environments. As a COVID-19 pandemic travel nurse and preceptor, I have tutored 85+ nursing students and new graduates, bridging the gap between textbook theory and bedside reality. My approach focuses on the high-level critical thinking demanded by exams and preceptors. I passed NCLEX in the minimum 75 questions and teach the exact analytical methods and systematic logic I used. We will move beyond rote memorization to master Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, and Dosage Calculations for both the classroom and your future practice.

What sets our sessions apart is my secondary background as a former HR Manager, where I reviewed over 3,000 resumes and managed hiring for major organizations. I act as your secret weapon from graduation to your first paycheck, helping you get noticed by revising resumes and cover letters for ATS, conducting mock interviews, and coaching on competitive program applications. Beyond clinical mastery, we can use our time for career advising, specialty pros/cons, salary/benefit negotiations, or custom "brain sheets." Whether you are a pre-nursing student, a new grad, or an experienced healthcare worker, I provide the professional insight needed to understand how to get hired.

Every session is customized to your unique goals and learning style. I take extensive notes and solicit your input to ensure we hit your targets. I offer a 100% money-back "Good Fit Guarantee" for every virtual session; if you are not fully satisfied, I offer a full refund for up to two sessions. My goal is to help you move forward with clinical and professional confidence.

Approved Subjects

Career Development

Career Development

As a former HR Manager for a large healthcare organization and a current ER BSN RN, I provide a unique "insider" perspective to help you navigate the complexities of the medical job market. I have helped hundreds of recent grads and mid-career professionals successfully pivot into or advance within healthcare roles through a dedicated, pro-worker coaching approach. My expertise covers everything from crafting ATS-optimized resumes and mastering behavioral interviews to navigating corporate politics and negotiating the salary you truly deserve. Whether you are a first-time nurse or an experienced professional looking for a change, I promise I will provide the strategic tools and confidence needed to land your dream role.
HESI (Nursing exam)

HESI (Nursing exam)

As a BSN-prepared ER Registered Nurse who scored a 91% on the HESI A2, I provide students with the clinical insight and testing strategies necessary to master both entrance and exit exams. I specialize in breaking down complex Anatomy, Physiology, and Biology concepts into digestible segments, having successfully helped over 18 students raise their HESI scores by an average of 16%. My experience precepting dozens of nursing students and new graduates allows me to bridge the gap between textbook theory and the critical thinking required for HESI success. I am dedicated to helping you navigate the high-stakes pressure of nursing boards with a focus on core science mastery and exam-taking logic.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

Having led over 2,000 interviews across phone, panel, and case formats as a former HR Manager, I provide the "hiring side" perspective needed to excel in the competitive healthcare industry. I train my students in advanced frameworks like the STAR+Impact method, 30-60-90 day planning, and consultative reverse-interviewing to transform them from standard applicants into top-tier candidates. My specialized coaching helped one anxious new grad nurse effectively structure her clinical stories to land a role at her top-choice teaching hospital after only two sessions. Beyond just answering questions, I empower pro-worker candidates with anchoring and range negotiation skills to ensure they secure the compensation they deserve.
Marketing

Marketing

I have over four years of experience as a Social Media Manager, where I've specialized in building organic communities and managing high-performing paid advertising campaigns across Meta and other digital platforms. My background includes helping a diverse range of small businesses and entrepreneurs translate complex marketing theories into actionable strategies that drive real engagement and ROI. I am equally comfortable assisting university students with their marketing coursework or coaching professionals on how to master technical tools like Google Analytics and Meta Business Suite. Whether you need help passing a marketing exam or scaling your own brand's digital presence, I can provide the practical, hands-on guidance you need to succeed.
NCLEX

NCLEX

As a Level 1 Trauma ER/ICU preceptor with a 98% student pass rate, I specialize in guiding both first-time and repeat candidates through the complexities of the Next-Gen NCLEX (NGN). I teach you to deconstruct daunting "Select All That Apply" (SATA) questions using a proprietary "+/- scoring" logic and standalone "True/False" evaluations that maximize your scoring potential. To prevent test-day blackouts, I integrate professional anxiety-management techniques like "Somatic Pacing" and "10-question resets" to keep your clinical logic online under pressure. Whether you are new to Next-Gen NCLEX, are a repeat tester or an international nurse, I provide the proprietary "brain sheets" and Safety Nurse mindset needed to pass with total confidence; no matter your past experiences, I am sure I can help significantly in moving you toward passing ASAP!
Nutrition

Nutrition

As a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN, RN) with over five years of clinical experience, I bridge the gap between abstract nutritional science and real-world application. My background in Emergency Nursing provides me with a deep understanding of how nutrition impacts acute pathophysiology, fluid/electrolyte balance, and long-term metabolic health. I have successfully tutored students through rigorous nursing and nutrition coursework, focusing on making complex biochemistry and medical nutrition therapy (MNT) easy to digest. Whether you are preparing for the NCLEX or mastering undergraduate nutrition, I provide a practical, clinical perspective that helps the material stick.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I bring over a decade of experience regularly delivering high-stakes presentations to hospital boards and audiences of over 100 people. As a former competitive public speaker, a former HR Manager and Level 1 Trauma RN, I specialize in teaching Monroe’s Motivated Sequence and storytelling arcs to help professionals deliver persuasive, authoritative content. My coaching uniquely combines academic communication theory with science-backed physiological techniques, such as vagus nerve stimulation and anxiety reappraisal, to neutralize stage fright. This dual-lens approach ensures you command the room with clinical composure and executive presence during your most critical presentations.
