Ashley Zimmerman is an excellent educator for a variety of reasons. She is incredibly enthusiastic about the material she is teaching and has a knack for infusing interest and excitement into every topic. She is adept at presenting a thorough and comprehensive explanation of complex material in a concise and clear manner. She is also a great role model, not only in her command and mastery of the knowledge needed to be an effective nurse but in her ability to convey the importance of meeting each potential patient at their level to provide the most effective care. She extends this concern to her students as well and is always willing to meet students at their level and help them work through whatever particular academic issue they may be having by providing honest and constructive feedback. Ashley's mix of confidence, caring, and expertise is truly an inspiration to future members of the nursing community.
