My name is Rachael, and I’ve been a Registered Nurse for over 13 years. Throughout my career, I’ve served in many roles including bedside nurse, charge nurse, and clinical nurse educator—which has given me a well-rounded perspective on the challenges new nurses face. I’ve had the privilege of supporting and guiding incoming nursing staff from multiple angles, and I know just how vital encouragement, mentorship, and real-world guidance are during those early months.

Becoming a Registered Nurse is no small feat. From late-night study sessions and overwhelming case studies to endless exams, applications, and interviews—you’ve worked hard to get here. Now, as you step into the fast-paced and often unpredictable world of professional nursing, the real journey begins.

The transition from student to practicing nurse is exciting, but it can also feel intimidating and overwhelming. That is why I created The Graduate Nurse Coach—to walk beside you during this critical time. Our mission is to mentor you as you find your footing, build your confidence, and begin your career with the support every new nurse deserves. You’re not alone. With the right guidance, from our experienced nurses, you will perform leaps ahead of your peers entering the nursing workforce.
