Great Professor. She is very helpful if you approach her for help. She will give you lots of examples and tips to help you to remember things for the next 4 years. Really nice. Her tests are NCLEX style, and she will push you from earlier to help you to think like a nurse or to put all your ideas together to come to the right conclusion.

One of the best Nursing teachers at Molloy. Words of advice: record her lecture. It really helps. So do the practice quizzes on elsiver online. If you're struggling, talk to her; she will bend over backwards to help you out. She teaches you what you will need to know and SHOULD know as a future nurse.

Professor Osborne is a real GEM. She is strict but gets to the point. She makes hard topics really easy to understand. Whatever she says is always on the test, if she doesn't say it, it wont be on it. Unlike some other professors who like to surprise her. Those giving her a 1 star are obviously failing. You have to put in the work

Dr. Osborne is a good teacher, gives good metaphors to understand the concepts and good examples. Her lectures are good to explaining what you need to know and what is important for the test. Teaches you everything instead of the math, math you have to learn on ATI on. Besides this, I think she was a good teacher just study her powerpoints!

Osborne is one of my favorite teachers at molloy. her test are not the easiest but they are definitely not hard and if you actually study and listen to her lectures you will pass. She is tough love so don't take her if you don't like a teacher who will push you because she wants us to do good. her lectures are amazing. you will not regret it.

Im not going to lie, the first day she scared me because she came off strong. but after that day I can say I LOVED HER CLASS! the people complaining are the ones who never put in the work or who crack under pressure. Fundamentals is a hard class and the first few weeks is horrible but she prepares you and does not baby you. her tests mid.

If I could take her again I would. People saying we used the textbook are lying, the textbook is literally used to explain further but her lectures cover mostly everything. she is not that scary as people are saying, don't take her if you're used to the teachers that baby you because unfortunately this is nursing and it is a hard major.

Wish she taught more classes. Her teaching style worked great for me. She told stories that solidified the concepts & made it so easy to remember. Ofc pharm is hard, but I think the tests were what she prepared us for. If there was something "unfair" on the test, she would give points back. Big advocate for her students.

Not accessible outside of class which is really difficult because the whole class is online. The whole year on canvas she had imported all the tests grades as a 0 and you couldn't tell what your grade was and when you tried to reach out she wouldn't answer. Tests were hard, there were lots of information and had to learn off the power points only

so many better options for professors for fundamentals. do not risk taking someone who gets pleasure from stressing you out and belittling you. i truly wonder how she was ever a nurse. if she can be a nurse with this personality, anyone can

Initially, Dr. Osborne seemed quite intimidating and came off strong. However, her teaching strategies are some of the best I've ever experienced. Her explanations helped solidify the information, and each class was filled with engaging conversation. If you pay attention and read the textbook you will do well. Her exams are very fair.

Choose a different professor! Don't risk your sanity with this one especially if it's an online course. Very bad at communication and personally I think she doesn't know how to balance work and all she's doing to give students the support they need. Walk away! I promise you its not worth your sanity, nursing school is already tough.

I don't know how Molloy has not fired her... she is so rude and disrespectful to her students. Completely unaccessible outside of class. She brags about not answering e-mails because she's busy going on vacations with her boyfriend every weekend. She does not care about your education, DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU CARE FOR YOUR FUTURE!

Professor Osborne is amazing. I had her for multiple courses this semester, and I found her to be exceptionally caring and helpful in all of my courses with her. Her exams are challenging but extremely fair, she explains and adjusts grading whenever possible. There is a lot of content to master, but she 100% sets her students up for success.

lecture is her googling photos/definitions and flipping through the textbook. no breaks for a 3 hr lecture. she is all over the place. thinks very highly of herself and creates an uncomfortable learning environment. very rude in class. never answers emails. she gets nicer towards the end of the semester but good luck with her in the beginning!

Based on my experience this semester, her ratings don't reflect how she is as a professor or as a person. She prepares you for how life is going to be as an actual RN; obviously you aren't going to be babied by her! She wants her students to succeed. As long as you listen to what she's saying during lecture and study the material, you'll do great.

I have met a lot of professors and this was my worst experience. I have never met a professor who is so rude. When trying to clarify or ask questions a lot of the time she will brush you off and ignore you. she does not answer emails at all. her lectures are very hard to follow, and her finals are difficult. If you think she cares, SHE DOES NOT.

I loved Dr. Osborne!! You just have to pay attention to her lectures and take a bunch of notes and you'll do great. She's a little tough but it's only because she wants you to do good. She really cares about her students and explains why she's teaching us the things she is.

Great professor, tough but fair. A very knowledgeable and effective teacher as long as you pay attention. If you want to coast you will struggle, if you genuinely try you'll be fine. To my knowledge, most of the people who don't like her are the ones who struggle. But they don't struggle because of her, they struggle because of their own laziness.

I had her for Patho, fundamentals and pharmacology. She is intimidating at first but that is WHAT YOU NEED. She is an amazing educator and teaches the material thoroughly, if you put in the work there is no reason you will not get an A in any of her classes. learn to study and actually learn the material and do practice questions.

Please do not take her for 2290. She is clearly not fit to teach. Constantly rambles on about topics that don't appear on the test. Tests are abysmal with topics on them that were either not discussed in class or ones she specifically told us not to focus on(I would know b/c I record). Don't even try to email her SHE WILL NOT RESPOND!!!

I absolutely loved her. She was intimidating at first, but I quickly grew to respect her. She's a very fair grader—if you show up, pay attention, and study the ATIs, you'll do well. She wants students to succeed but expects deadlines to be met. Overall, she's one of my favorite professors, and I hope to have her again.

If I could give a 0 rating, I would. Take someone else. She rambles about things that won't even be on the test during the three hour long lectures. Completely blindsided the class for the final by making it topics that we did not even learn in class and that she confirmed would not be on the final. Made this class harder than it should have been.

You must be a serious learner. You will get a lot of information in lecture. The course is intimidating at first, but if you're level headed and not easily flustered, you'll get through. I appreciated blending of theory with real life nursing practice. There could be some surprises on the tests, be sure to review. She can be points generous.
