Professor DeSalinas is one of the best professors I've had during my time here at West Coast. She thoroughly explains everything and provides excellent mnemonics for remembering complex material. I would recommend her to all students. She's amazing!

Please take her she is amazing. Can't wait to take her for physical assessment. Her lectures and reviews are very straightforward with her exams. You have to put in effort and pay attention N100 isn't an easy class because there's so much info to learn but Desalinas breaks it down and focus's on what's important.

Professor Desalinas is amazing. She made spring term 2 bearable despite all the intense work that is needed to pass Fundamentals. If you pay attention to her lectures, take notes, and attend Bernie Sessions, you will pass with an A! hard work pays off and De Salinas will make sure that you are ready

Awesome professor. I had her for funds and now 190. Very clear subject matter that you are graded on and good test reviews. If you don't get a good grade in the class it is from lack of effort. Everything on the test is in her lectures! Pay attention and get an A! Highly recommend!

You would not regret taking professor Desalinas! I was lucky enough to have her for NURS 100 and NURS 190 class. You can truly tell that she likes to teach. I didn't use any textbooks. You would pass her class by studying her powerpoint slides, kahoot, and listening to her. She's amazing!

Here I am leaving another stellar review for Desalinas after having her for funds. You already know you will be in good hands. Make sure to practice your head-to-toe. Week 8 will come fast. One of the best professors. Wish she would follow our cohort through med-surg

She is straight to the point and you wont ever be surprised in any assessments. One of the best professors I've had at WCU if not the best. Literally no excuse to not do well in her class. She provides everything you'll need to pass her assessments in her power points. Lucky if you land a spot in her class, take advantage of it!

Amazing. Lectures are short and sweet and covers everything in class. No surprises on tests. Do the weekly quizzes from Johnny and pay attention in her Kahoots. Love her and wish more professors were more understanding and as laid back as she is

Professor De Salinas's lectures are engaging and to the point. She has a great sense of humor and makes her class interesting. I learned a lot. We met on Zoom outside of class when I needed help. She is accessible and incredibly helpful. What she talks about in the lecture will be on exams. WCU is lucky to have her as an instructor!

Professor DeSalinas is a fantastic teacher who makes her class a fun environment. Her lectures are clear and easy to follow, and her slides are detailed and resourceful when studying for her exams. She also puts together Kahoots as a review and activity, which is helpful for the quizzes and makes the class enjoyable. Love her!

I actually had Dolores for NURS 210L. I recommend her for any course. She can definitely teach students clinical skills and more because her classes are always intellectually stimulating, no matter how little sleep she gets. You learn a LOT. It makes one realize most of the other professors are there for a paycheck... She deserves a raise!
