Not a good professor Does not teach Does not treat students with respect Bullies student then taunts you about her malicious acts I do not recommend

Always send necessary class items last minute powerpoints lacks necessary information take full advantage of the position to bully students especially the minorities do not attend this program

Very political tells students what they want to hear but only cares for her own agenda Does not advocate for students generally just blames students for any and every mistake Very punitive

very bad lectures with poor teaching does not explain concepts She puts on a nice front during interviews and when students start but is far from being a nice person uses condescending language a lot does the bare minimum for students does not answer your email when you need clarification or information not a good NAP program

treats minority students poorly I was a black student there was completely micromanaged and policed by this teacher treated very poorly when I would try and speak to other students from my demographic in different cohorts Flatley would intentionally sprint across the room to eavesdrop on our conversations this occurred on multiple occasions

misleads students a lot I remember during the interview she stated there's only one student that never passed boards several students that graduate from here do not pass boards class of 2020 half the class did not pass on the first try one never passed at all there's usually a few that don't pass boards for a very long time or at all

Very poor instructor with online pre recorded lectures and in class case studies Condescending, speaks too many derogatory statements about people

posts grades to quizzes/exams very late, like 3 weeks late

intentionally tries to intimidate or elicit fear does not support students does not speak well of the Millikin faculty

behaves like a high school mean girl and the other faculty follow the same pattern

The way that she operates is alarming and disheartening she is never wrong, no matter what, she is never wrong which is insane

This professor uses outdated recordings and her recordings and her exams do not correlate!! Her in class lectures are 3 hrs of case studies and we do in groups.. some exam questions are not related to the objectives given..

This professor does not support her students. We struggle through her class. Her power points had a lot of errors and misinformation. We basically teach ourselves!!!

NO limits to what she will do to satisfy her ego

she has no cultural competence

This professor has the tendency to say bad things that occur to students are a self inflicted wound but that is not the case. She orchestrates a lot of sinister activity in that program. A lot is beyond the control of most students.

Tendency to gaslight Not a good idea to complain or confide in her she will use that against you if it benefits her

Encourages CRNAs to report students

Even when it's a simple misunderstanding she doesn't care about what you have to say or let you explain she just cares about scolding/bullying you

Aggressively coerces students to sign write ups without anything to substantiate the write up. Does not allow students to discuss anything just takes what the CRNA says at face value. Morale is very low in that program in general

Takes a lot of disciplinary action and much more severe disciplinary action on minorities than other students

A bigot

a schiz0 runs in her family which would explain her irrational behavior and vindictive nature

The program has been through 2 assistant program directors since she has been there. Both left after less than a couple of years. Currently there is no assistant program director. That's unusual for any anesthesia program.

class of 2023 dismissed both black students both women one a year away from graduation and another 5 months before graduation both were placed on probation within a couple months of being in clinical very unfair treatment of minority students student in the following year black was also dismissed she has never dismissed a nonminority student

Dismissed a black student the student asked for a letter for another graduate program not anesthesia which is sometimes required told that student verbatim "if you did not make it through this program what makes you think you will make it through another"

very rude and nasty to students once you are actually in the program which progresses when clinicals start

Intentional neglected to inform a student about the curriculum change that was made a couple of years ago which would have pushed the graduation date of that student back an extra year

One tactic she uses is making an exam impossible to pass, fudging the grades to pass those she wants, and failing those she dislikes or is retaliating against.

She definitely enjoys being a B to students, and if she senses that you are bothered by it, she'll double down and be relentless.

undermines passive aggressively bullies

Does and says the most unimaginable horrendous things to students when it is completely unwarranted

Gaslights students that verbalize their experiences during the program

She put me on probation for not writing "enough" about suboxone a drug my patient was on although the patient was getting a spinal. Therefore, the suboxone would have had no intraoperative effect and had no safety risk or concern.

Extremely shady and deceitful

placed me on probation for "insufficient" information on suboxone on a care plan when the case was a spinal intraop and suboxone would have had no intraop impact on the case anyway

All about accountability for others (students) but not when it comes to her malicious actions.

Has a lot of double standards

Another thing she likes to do is Call students on the phone so she can lie without creating a paper trail Avoids speaking to her on the phone in a call or without anything that would have a paper trail or some sort of evidence

Conniving. Strong arms students. Pushes students around. Humiliates students in classrooms. Would not recommend the program.

Intentionally attempts to control students with coercion, fear, and intimidation.

If you ever need confirmation of the rac*****ism that students face during the program feel free to speak to Randall a black Crna that graduated from the program works at Springfield memorial who absolutely hates Flatley and the Decatur program and rightfully so once you hear his experience when he was a student there.

class of 2024 just graduated. I told her I was struggling in Patho first semester, and she said to drop out of the program. Thank Goodness, I did not. She is very nasty to some which is very demoralizing, disheartening and discouraging.

For my DNP project, I asked her for the emails of the CRNAs. She never gave them to me; instead, she reported me for an IRB violation for sending them to just SRNAs, which is just malicious.

I work with a CRNA from springfield that told me when I was an SRNA that Flatley had a meeting with all the CRNAs right before the new SRNAS were supposed to start clinical and said she wants to dismiss students in the second year before they make it to the third. Encouraging the CRNAs to write students up so she can use that to dismiss them.

Extremely mean, nasty and just mean spirited.

Wouldn't know what professionalism is if it slapped her across the face. Flatley will discuss a student with another student. Basically, just gossiping. She has also stated that the Millikin nursing department are nothing but a bunch of NPs trying to tell her how to do her job in a classroom full of students.

Don't go to her to speak about the abuse of students that goes on when you do clinical in Decatur. She knows, she doesn't care, not going to do anything about it only retaliate against you. She worked in the facility after graduating from the program and vast majority of those CRNAs are her friends. Same goes for Springfield. She worked there too.

Speak to alumni about their experiences in the program because alumni don't have the fear of retaliation by the program and the program director.

The program lost two assistant program directors during her time as the program director for 4 years, which is unusual for an anesthesia program. Currently, there is no assistant program director.

Unethical academic practices

Definitely a challenge to deal with for 3 years

Lack of respect for boundaries of others especially students.

Abuses her position to meddle in the personal lives of students

Disrespectful with her feedback. Berates! Doesn't understand how to properly give good or negative feedback without being malicious.

Hypocritical

Always sends important information at the last minute.

Not receptive to the feedback from the professor end of semester evaluations. Doesn't take feedback well at all.

There was a student that did a paper for a Millikin course (not anesthesia related) about the bullying and hazing of students. Flatley got so upset about it. Flatley told the student why would you write a paper like that because at the time Millikin was receiving A LOT of complaints about how much she bullies students.

I firmly believe that she got the maternal schizo gene. Something is wrong with her.

One of those bullies that thrives on getting a reaction out of students

She has no respect for the rules. According to the school of nursing handbook, there is supposed to be a meeting for appeals. She did not schedule a meeting when I had to appeal one of my courses. Big time coward!

Misinformed the whole class about an assignment due for Dr. Trump, leading to bad grades on the assignment. When the class emailed her about it, Flatley did not respond.

Flatley intentionally omitted the curriculum change that occured a couple of years ago to a student that would've delayed her graduation by a year. That is not just a "bad experience" but intentionally damaging the livelihood of that student. One of the many reasons the program has such a bad reputation.

If you are placed to work with any of the CRNAs known to be close with her routinely, you need to be very careful while working with them. Do not tell them anything personal; do your best not to make mistakes.

Will go to extreme lengths to cover up the foul stuff that goes on in that program generally at the expense of students.

Two black students were removed from a clinical facility after having all positive clinical evaluation and making no mistakes. She told the students it was "preceptor fatigue".

A black student was in the top 2 in the class of 2022. He was kicked out of a facility (as a senior in his last rotation) and lost his contract due to retaliation from one of the CRNAs. There's one black CRNA at DMH who gets treated with so much disrespect. This general area is so bad for black minorities. The school tries to cover that up.

Each time she dismisses someone from the program, it's a minority, and it is usually for something their white counterparts would receive only a slap on the wrist for, which is extremely rac*st. There are generally just a couple of minorities in a class.

A professor who fails to meet basic teaching principles, often discussing irrelevant cases that provide no educational value, which is surprising considering her background as a nursing educator.

She emotionally abused me throughout my time in that program and even had the nerve to call me angry. One day, while I was sitting in her office, she tried to fake cry in front of me, but she quickly stopped when she realized it had no effect on me.

The questions and objectives are taken from Miller's and Valley's anesthesia review books, indicating a lack of effort from someone who claims to maintain high standards and expectations. She's a lazy/lousy professor!

Refers to the challenges that students face as self-inflicted pain. In reality, these issues stem from a lack of teaching, proper instruction, resources, and overall support within a poor learning environment.

None of the faculty members do regional. None of them work in facilities where the CRNAs do regional. CRNA faculty at DMH aren't qualified to teach students regional.

The CRNAs that work for Decatur are extremely petty and she goes along with it at your expense.

Not receptive to concerns or suggestions

The way this program treats their students is absolutely disgusting. I have zero respect for anyone that is involved in running that program.

During interviews, she misreported the board pass rates of Decatur's anesthesia program, stating that only one person did not pass due to a tragic circumstance of dying from cancer. There are multiple people that do not pass boards after graduating. Half of the 2021 class did not pass the first time, with one never passing at all.

She can influence your narrative in this program using unethical methods.

At Springfield Memorial, where this program director worked as a CRNA when I was in SRNA, two new black women CRNAs were training. One left because she felt she was treated poorly, and the other got fired, which reiterates the horrible culture that the area has towards a particular group of people.

Randall as a new grad CRNA asked her to send some paperwork from the school on multiple occasions he needed for his Texas license. She kept saying "I'm going to do it". She never did. He could not obtain that licensure for over a year.

I was in her office, and she said " the only reason (not going to mention the name) got through the program was because of me in a very cocky and mean tone. No kidding, the only reason you are here is because of students helping them through the program instead of undermining them is your job.

An SRNA that went here was a nursing department faculty at one point. He was just doing his job and trying to enforce the Millikin nursing syllabus. The students at that time literally started a petition to try and get him fired.

If you are a black minority in this program, you may find that you are micromanaged throughout your experience. This stems from the faculty's personal biases related to your demographic which creates a difficult learning environment and may even feel like harassment.

She is on her third assistant program director since becoming the program director about four years ago. A high turnover rate for assistant program directors in an anesthesia program is extremely unusual.

I shared my concerns about another student and I being marginalized, and how it was detrimental to our education. Her answer was uh-huh. In her attempt to intentionally mock and gaslight me.

When I was there one of my close friends got written up by one of the CRNAs that is extremely close with the program director and medical director for having the wrong title on a care plan. She claimed it was a safety concern. That is not having high expectations it's lunacy. The patient's was not at risk in any way for the wrong title on a plan.

If you can tolerate the vile, raci$t disgust that area and program are you'll be ok.

The teaching style is very lazy. An old pre-recorded video from past/present teachers so the faculty doesn't have to actually put in the work of teaching the material. It is not very conducive to learning extremely complicated material.

Handles challenging situations very poorly and often fails to address the underlying issues or conflicts.

The nursing department can share as many pictures of black individuals as they wish, but true inclusion and a safe environment for minorities, especially Black minorities, do not exist at that school. Each time there was a DEI presentation, I felt disgusted because all the black students I know had terrible experiences there.

Poor leadership skills

She will intentionally do something to upset you, stalk you to see your reaction, and then claim you have an attitude. A textbook Karen.

Whenever I received criticism from her, it was mean, nasty, and malicious. Although I received criticism from many people in my career and in the program, it was never delivered with a nasty tone by others.

"you're not even a top student" The Decatur anesthesia program literally has the lowest board pass rate in the state.

Lacks the ability to admit when she is wrong Untrustworthy and Egotistical

It's pretty comical when she tries to talk to students about discipline, considering her size; she knows nothing about it.

Millikin is not a reputable school and lacks the most basic resources to complete all the work given by faculty. There is limited to no access to research articles to write the millions of papers necessary to get through college. This is a huge obstacle that will not be remedied anytime soon since the school is broke.

Bad reputation. bad school. shady area. unsafe area. extremely smelly area. You should attempt to every school possible before coming here!

The assistant program director and the program director think it's funny to make fun of students. The worst character trait possible for an educator. It is a complete disgrace to what education and academics are supposed to be for students.

Silence and ignoring the unethical practices within the Decatur anesthesia program is what she claims to be respectful, but it is actually a form of abuse.

I've heard a lot of horror stories from SRNAs who went here

The minority RNAIs face a lot of contempt from Decatur CRNAs and the surrounding community. The administration and faculty know this but will take disciplinary action against you regardless.

Plays a lot of nasty games with the livelihood of students

Very psychologically abusive with the aim of manipulating and coercing the behavior of others.

She pressures students into signing documents, but you are not obligated to sign anything just because she presents it to you.

Just gets nastier and nastier as the program progresses

There are A LOT of sundown towns in the surrounding area

As a former student, I can honestly say that I do not have fond memories of Decatur's nurse anesthesia program, and there is no way I would ever want to return or visit anyone from that program.

It is best to communicate with her via email, she lies a lot. You need to have clear confirmation of what was said.

Students have to handwrite each care plan, regardless of the long list of comorbidities. Care plans can be five or more pages long, and handwriting them while studying for exams is an unreasonable requirement.

The faculty at Decatur make everything so much harder than they need to be and I mean soooo much harder it's beyond ridiculous

She was a challenging CRNA to work with when she worked in Springfield

The program admins have a long history of coercion and retaliative behaviors.

She undoubtedly intentionally inflicts emotional distress on students, even on her own faculty, by using the power of her position. Exactly why she is on her third assistant program director in less than 5 years.

Poor conflict resolution/problem-solving skills

The micromanagement is insanely TOXIC

The teaching style is very lazy. An old pre-recorded video from past/present teachers so the faculty doesn't have to actually put in the work of teaching the material. It is not very conducive to learning extremely complicated material. Go to a school that provides in-class instruction with knowledgeable faculty. Decatur is far from that.

She is unable to take responsibility for the negative impact her actions have on students.

There is a monthly case conference that all students must go to. Image driving an hour to clinical, then an hour to Decatur after clinical, and potentially an hour home. As opposed to just making the case conference virtual. Not to mention weekend clinicals before exams.

A student messed up an epidural, and the CRNA never double-checked/supervised the student like she is supposed to when someone is working under your license. The student was dismissed. Other students suffered and weren't able to perform epidurals at Decatur. When I got to other facilities I performed multiple with the CRNA there teaching!

The program has a long-standing reputation for treating its students poorly.

There a diversity equity and inclusion presentation given during my time there as a student and I got up and left in the middle because I was disgusted. She dismissed 3 black minority students although 90% of the class is white there is NO WAY those minority students made more mistakes than those white ones. Please tell me how that is not rac*sm?

The anesthesia program director and the assistant program director behave like two HS girls that abuse their power to bully people half their age.

On my interview day, she stated that the anesthesia program moved from Bradley to Millikin at the request of students. Later on, I learned it was because the anesthesia program was sued by a student that they had to move to millikin. She makes multiple statements like that, which, down the line, I've come to learn are fabricated lies.

She referred to the challenges students face as a "self-inflicted wound". In fact, the vast majority of challenges faced by students are due to the vile nature of people who run the program, who like to torment, maliciously gossip, taunt, undermine, and bully students. Not to mention the overall lack of support and resources within the university.

Inappropriately gets in people's faces and violates personal space. Deplorable conduct from a professor and Millikin does absolutely nothing about it.
