Cheryl inspires me daily to be a better human. Even though I only have class 2 times a week with her, the way she has taught the material this past semester sticks with me every day. I carry her teachings into my other classes and into my life. I can honestly say that without the thorough and relatable presentation of the material I would not be doing as well in my other nursing classes. She stands in front of our group two days a week and she gives the most real, honest and genuine account of how to apply what we are learning, not just from a pathophysiological and pharmaceutical approach, but from a holistic one. Her attitude about life and about nursing is truly inspirational. The ability to be real but still have a positive outlook on what we can do to help our future patients and HOW we can do this has been more impactful than I could have ever anticipated. I want to be a better student, the safest nurse and a better human being because of the way that Cheryl teaches. She is without a doubt the most exemplar instructor I have ever had, and this is my second degree. I am beyond grateful to have her as my instructor this year and will always look back on this accelerated launching pad for my nursing career and remember the lessons that Cheryl taught.
