Ron is the best teacher anyone could ask for. He is so helpful and very approachable. All nursing instructors at CSN could learn a thing or two from him. Do yourself a favor and take him if at all possible.
Ron is a great instructor. He is very supportive. Even when students are doing things incorrectly, he corrects the students but does so in a positive and non-threatening manner. I would love to have him again if possible.
Our clinical group was very sad to say goodbye to Ron. He is the perfect instructor: caring, informative, supportive and encouraging. He has a great sense of humor that carries you through stressful times. He is by far the best nursing instructor!!!
If you get the chance...take Ron for Clinical and Lab. He is easy to understand and gives you real-world insight. He won't "give" you a grade, you'll have to earn it...but he'll work with you if you need the extra help. I feel very prepared for the next semester!!!
I loved him as an instructor. Very nice, helpful, never made you feel incompetent. Wish I had himm for other classes.
Ron was able to get us as much clinical experience as possible. He has amazing clinical experience. He helped us with anything we had an issue with, and he absolutely does not make you feel stupid. One of the best instructors I have ever had.
Ron is a great instructor! I had him for clinical and couldn't have asked for a better person to learn from. He explains things well and will not make you feel stupid if you have questions. Definitely take his class if you have a choice!!
I had Ron for lab, and loved it! He's great at explaining and demonstrating the skills we learned. Anyone who has the chance to have him for clinical or lab instructor should!!
My favorite teacher in the whole nursing program!!! He is awesome, great, approachable, caring, professional, organized. All the good adjectives should be used to describe him!!! He wants his students to pass and be ready for next semester!!! He likes paperwork, but not too intense. You will come out of his clinical in great shape for 115
All I can say about Ron is WOW! He is truly a great instructor. He is very patient and you can tell he wants his students to do well. Ron also has a great ability to relate what you are learning to real world situations. This is something most instructors fail to do.
He is a great instructor! I learned a lot in his lab - it was like a second lecture! (I think I took more notes in his class!) My only problem is that he likes to talk a lot - so it doesn't leave a lot of time for practicing! But his teaching style is great!
Ron was an amazing clinical instructor. He gives tons of encouragement and never made me feel nervous/stupid in the clinical setting. Plus, I learned so much from him. I feel like he goes above and beyond what most of the other instructors do (especially for the part-time students). I HIGHLY recommend taking him if you have the opportunity.
Ron is the MAN! Totally helps each student, doesn't play favorites, treats everyone as equals. Each of us had at least ONE embarassing moment at clinical (vomitting especially), and he never made us feel like freakin idiots about it. He needs to teach all the classes in the program. fire everyone else.
wonderful person, prepared, intelligent,organized and he really cares
Excellent teacher!! Wonderful person. You are very lucky if you can get in his class!
He is an amazing professor, my favorite in my whole college career.
Ron was amazing.. I had him for 115 Lab. The class was cake, his testing style was awesome, and I learned more in his class than I have in any other Labs.. He is reasonable, fun, and easy to listen to. He gets straight to the point and doesn't go on and on like most instructors here.
I can not say enough great things about Ron. I've learned so much from him this semester. He is extremely informative, explains concepts well, will answer any question you have, and genuinely cares about his students. I could not have asked for a better Lab instructor for my first semester of Nursing School!
Excellent instructor. I was fortunate to have him for my first, second, and final semester. Every time he was always very helpful, and really taught the material well. He wants the students to learn and succeed. You have to work hard, but he will guide you along the way. Best instructor at CSN.
Ron is a great instructor. You are lucky if you have him as an instructor. Hang on his every word during in class discussions and it will help you tremendously when it comes to test time!
I had Ron for Nurs 101 lab, and he was extremely helpful!! you are truly blessed if you have him as a teacher! even though he's very nice, don't think you can be tardy or absent! He's the definition of excellence when it comes to helping you pass his class, along with the rest! (trust me you will need it!)
BEST PROF EVER!!!
Ron is the best! 101 students have an ali! Helped me and so many others with NURS 101 issues. Always there with an ear and a shoulder! A++++ Understands that life is not just black and white! As an advisor amazing and as a professor, absolutely AWESOME! CSN RN program needs more like him! Glad he stayed ;) Nursing school is hard, he makes it fun!
Ron is awesome. Just wrapping up 1st semester and he has been the BEST teacher I've encountered so far. Willing to help all the time, with any question or problem you might have. He is very knowledgeable and has a knack for passing on his knowledge in a way that's easy for students to understand. Take him for anything you can, you won't regret it!
I had Ron for lab and for half of lecture. He has got to be the best thing that ever happened to CSN's nursing program. He is crystal clear in his expectations. He is ALWAYS willing to help, to the greatest extent he can. He routinely took questions about literally anything during lab time when we were finished early. I learned so much from him!
If you get Ron for any class, you will be extremely happy! He is by far one of the "BEST" teachers here at CSN.
Great professor! Very patient and extremely helpful!!!
By far the best. If you get him for anything consider yourself lucky. He is not one of the bitter nurses looking to crush your dreams. He really wants to see everyone succeed. He is AH-MAZ-ING!!!
I have taken many, MANY classes at CSN and I have never encountered such a caring, knowledgeable, informative professor until I met Ron. He is the exact definition of an amazing professor and I am very lucky to be his student. I hope I can be lucky enough to have him in my future RN classes!
Ron is the best teacher! He really cares and really wants everyone to accomplish their goals! He is awesome! I really hope I have him again in the future!
Ron is an amazing teacher who truly seems to care about his students understanding the material. He was always willing to meet with me outside of class to help me understand any concepts that I was having trouble with. Consider yourself lucky if you have him as your trctor
Hands down the best professor in the whole program. He is one of the good ones!
Ron is truly the best nursing instructor, if not one of the best instructors at CSN overall. He really cares about the students and about the students' success. He takes the time to answer all questions and never makes you feel stupid for asking. I wish every nursing student had the chance to have Ron as an instructor.
This is the only class that I enjoy going to nowadays. Ron is great, no wait... "the best". I learned a lot because he's not intimidating and always willing to share.
Easily the best instructor I've ever had. I've heard from past graduates that he is the best nursing instructor at CSN, and I believe them. He always goes the extra mile for the students and helps out and makes sure you understand the material - and never makes you feel stupid.
I had Professor Gonzalez in NURS101 and again in NURS208. His lectures were always well organized, informational, and interactive. He is also one of the most professional and caring individuals I have ever met. He consistently went the extra mile when working with students.
The best instructor that any student could ask for. Is smart, and able to teach the material in a way that students will understand. Never makes you feel dumb. A unique blend of knowledge, teaching ability, and caring. Wish all instructors were like him. Look forward to having him again.
Excellent instructor, excellent person. Very organized, and classes are well planned. Goes the extra mile with all students (even with those not in his class) to make sure that everyone understands what they are learning. Very patient, and never makes you feel stupid.
You are the luckiest student in the program if you have him as an instructor! He is very intelligent, approachable and caring. Any questions you ask, he'll always be there to help you and put you in the right direction. I have never met such a remarkable nursing professor like him. You'll truly learn a lot from him. He's the ideal nurse instructor.
Excellent instructor. Works hard to make sure that you understand the material. Also very patient. Never makes you feel stupid. Helps out in every way possible.
Profesor Gonzalez is the best instructor I have ever had. Words can't express what a wonderful person he is. His classes are never boring, and he is very approachable. Great sense of humor.
Excellent Professor. Take his classes if you want to learn and succeed.
Awesome prof! He's the best prof ever!! very kind and approachable. I Love asking him questions, he will never think your dumb. He makes clinical fun and interesting. He has his own way of encouraging students to learn that you actually become more eager to learn! Never rate a prof before, but this prof is excellent!!
Excellent instructor. Ron goes out of his way to help you out. He has a way of helping you understand difficult concepts. He is also very patient and understanding. You may feel lost as a nursing student, but he never makes you feel stupid. I wish that I could have him as a prof for all of my classes.
Hands down the best instructor I have EVER had. Very approachable. Funny sense of humor. Very respectful. Provides the ideal relaxed learning environment. I think he read minds. Very intelligent & experienced. Excellent instructor for anyone who gets nervous or anxious.
This class was part online, but the live lectures were amazing and informative. I learned so much from Professor Gonzalez to help me prepare for my career as a nurse. I wish that I had him previously in other classes. I heard that he was a good instructor, now I know that it's true.
Probably the best nursing instructor in the history of nursing instructors. Always answered your questions. Made you feel very comfortable & is very friendly & approachable. Guided us when needed. Very smart and has great advice!
simply THE BEST, your in good hands with Professor Ron. I was a nervous wreck going into clinical. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I wish He taught all Nursing classes.
Professor Gonzalez is a professor that I respect most at CSN. He genuinely wants students to be informed and prepared about what the reality of the nursing/healthcare world will be like. Be PRESENT, respectful, do your work, turn i assignments on time and you will be just fine.
Excellent instructor. Explains content in ways easier to understand. Gives examples and stories from real nursing practice that relate to the subject that helps you remember the information. Goes out of his way to help students.
Amazing instructor. Couldn't have asked for a better professor. The best I've ever had. Very patient and explains content so that you understand it, not just for a test but for nursing in general.
The best professor you could have. Lectures are wonderful and engaging. He makes you not want to miss any lectures. Doesn't just read from the book, but breaks down the material to help you better understand it. Very patient and answers all questions. If you want to learn, he is the professor to take.
Professor Gonzalez is an approachable and compassionate instructor. He knows how to lecture, and his lectures flow and make sense to help you understand the concepts. He provides examples from real life nursing experiences that enhances the lecture content.

Professor Gonzalez presents the material well and gives great explanations. His teaching methods and application of material to real life situations he has experienced helps to remember, understand, and apply lecture material in clinical.
LOVED this teacher. he gives great lectures and truly cares about his students. He available whenever you need him by email, phone, class, etc. Wish we had more inspiring teachers like this. Didn't use the textbook the answers were in his slides. Just show up to class and listen and you'll get an A
Professor Gonzalez is the best instructor in the nursing program and all the students know this. He teaches clearly and helps you understand the content. He also takes the time to help you outside of class time, and will respond back to questions and emails very quickly. Hope to have him again in future courses.
He was such a great instructor. A real student advocate, and is genuine. He was so quick with responses via email, and helped in any way he could. Made 101L not so intimidating. A real diamond at CSN RN program (which is hard to find!). Amazing stories that helped you remember material. Do your reading, study hard and you'll be just fine!
Professor Gonzalez is so amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor. He really knows nursing and shares all of his experiences with you to help you become a good nurse.

Loved his class! Makes lectures interesting, tells lots of stories so you remember what you are learning, genuinely cares about his students.
(no separate grade for lab) Professor Gonzalez is great! He emphasizes what we learn in lecture, gives real-life examples, makes sure we understand and are prepared to use our skills in clinical. Professor Gonzalez is a true asset to CSN & I would take him every semester if I could. He is very knowledgeable & cares about his students.
Literally one of the best professors/teachers I have ever had. He genuinely wants you to pass and do well. He helps you with anything, any class, total student advocate. I didn't really use the book during his exams... Except exam 3, you should use the Taylor Clinical Skills book ;) Mainly tests on his ppts! I hope I get him again!
I didnt even have him directly and Im writing a review for him so that says a lot! He is my professors partner for NURS101. He is in charge of nursing fundamentals so I had to reach out to him a few times. He is so accommodating, he is kind, caring, hes realistic in his expectations and he gets it as he too was once a nursing student. Get him!
At CSN nursing program he is the best teacher I've had so far. He is nice & really CARES about his students. He does his best at lecturing but the student must also TRY. His powerpoints are concise and helpful. His test are exactly what he taught you and what you should have studied. In general he is an awesome human being. I was lucky to have him
Prof Ron is the best instructor you can have. He really cares about the students. Im telling you Nurs101 is not easy. However, he makes the material very understandable. He guides his students not just with his lectures but with navigating the nursing program in general. He helped us with our HESI exam,our labs, and our Pharmacology. He is the best
He is the best clinical instructor for Nurs 101 and students from other clinical agrees. He cares about his students. He values more about our understanding. He acknowledges our capacities and limitations since we are still students. He gives positive feedback and does not get mad when make mistakes. He is very understanding and approachable.
By far one of the best professors i have had in this program. He is relatable and approachable. Does not demean students when they ask questions, and he CARES. He wants you to pass. If I could take him for every lecture I would. Most test material was in the powerpoints given or the lectures.
Most helpful instructor ever! Always responds to e-mails right away. Great lectures! He's the best.
Seriously the best nursing instructor! His lectures are clear and he makes the material understandable.
Professor Gonzalez is one of a kind! He cares so much about his students and it really shows. He is literally the best professor I've ever had! I will be a better nurse because of him. I had him for lecture and lab. Words can't describe how wonderful he is. If you get the opportunity to take him, learn all that you can from him, you will succeed!
So far, one of the best professors I've ever had so far. He cares so much and very kind to his students. He is understanding and relatable. I love how he lectures coz he uses a relatable story that helped us easy to remember. I wish he lectures every course throughout the nursing program.
Best professor I've had, hands down! I wish I could have him for every class. I've never written any reviews on any professors before but felt it was necessary just to say how amazing he truly is. He is genuine, cares about his students, responds to emails VERY quickly, and is just about always available for his students. Thanks so much professor!
Professor, Ron is the one of best professors in the whole world. I've never written any reviews on any professors in this site before but felt it was necessary to say how amazing he truly is. He's genuine, cares about his students. He makes one of the hardest class is easy. I've to write more but this isnt allow to write more. Thank you soooo much
Makes content easy as long as you put in the effort and time. A true student advocate. Genuinely cares about what we think of his lectures and will ask if he made it understandable. Wrong answer during lecture? Well guess what he doesnt humiliate you. He wants you to learn and to be a good nurse. No study guides, listen to lectures on repeat!
Professor Ron is the best instructor Ive ever had, and Ive taken a lot of courses. His lectures are excellent and he makes things so clear to understand. I wish I could have him for every course in the program.
Ron Is a diamond in the rough. He is one of the very few competent instructors available at CSN. He genuinely cares about his students and that they become competent nurses. He is willing to advise and help when there is something you don't understand. I hope to be half the nurse he is.
Ron is one of the best professors I've had in my college career. He genuinely cares for his students and wants them to succeed. His exams are based on his lectures, which he actually engages you in, instead of blandly reading his power point word for word. I'd keep taking his classes if he taught past 101. You won't regret taking him.
Prof Gonzalez is the best professor I have ever had. He really cares about his students success and goes above and beyond to make sure all students understand the material. His lectures are thorough and never skips a beat. I wish i could take prof Gonzalez every semester.
Dr. Gonzalez is an amazing professor! You will actually retain the things you learn because of the way that he lectures. It will stick in your brain! He is very caring and relatable and genuinely wants to see every single one of his students succeed. If you get the opportunity to take him for an NURS 101 class, do it! You won't regret it.
The most amazing professor. His lectures are the best and he will always make the time to help you if you need it. He really cares about his students. The best professor I have ever had!
Amazing professor. I always looked forward to his lectures, he likes to be funny from time is time which is great lmao! He genuinely cares for his students and he is a true student advocate. I wish he taught other nursing courses! Thanks for everything Dr. Gonzalez!
He really does take care of his students. He tries his best to let his students learn something to become good nurses. He was amazing. I wish he could be my instructor for all the other nursing courses....
You just can't get a better professor. Listen to his lectures and read slides and you'll do just dandy
Dr. Gonzalez is amazing. Attend lecture, download his ppts and take notes as you go and you will be set! He goes over everything you need to know for his exams. He really looks out for his students and will help in any way he can.
Dr. Gonzalez was one of the best teachers that I have had at CSN. His lectures were amazing. He wants you to succeed. His test can be challenging but they are only to help you learn to critical think. If you study his powerpoints you will do just fine.
Awesome, amazing, and amazing is all I have to say. He truly cares about his students and wants us to succeed. Just stick to studying his powerpoint slides and you'll pass with no problem.
He's a wonder. He's the definition of what an actual genuinely caring professor is like. He does his best for you and wants you to succeed as a nurse. He can relate to his students and treats us as if we are his family and close friends. Listen to his lecture while studying the PowerPoints. His exams do help with critical thinking. You'll love him!
Dr. Gonzalez is about as straightforward and easy as it gets. Lectures are well paced and highly informative. Biggest Strength? Being very accessible outside of class. That said, he expects your due dilligence during his exams. Read ahead, and don't purchase your textbooks late! The exams aren't too bad, but don't underestimate or understudy.
Dr. Gonzalez is one of the best professors I have ever had. He cares so much about his students, truly wants everyone to pass. He is so great at his lectures and makes the material interesting and easy to understand. Study his power points, take your own notes and brush up on some of the textbook readings - you will do just fine.
The best teacher you will ever have. power points will do it to pass, maybe some ATI
Professor Gonzalez is a standout instructor. Attend his engaging lectures, study his slides, and you'll do well. Use Unstuckstudy to prepare - it's a helpful tool alongside the coursework.
TAKE HIM!! he cares, easy to talk to, he understands, responds to emails quickly and with more info then you asked for, I wish I could take him for every class. he's clear in lecture and lab
Notice those who got "Bs" say to study the Powerpoints only. NO, you ALSO need to take notes during lecture & read ATI. That's the difference between an A and a B. Other instructors gripe that he's soft on us, NO again. He's helpful and informative. Those gripers cut corners with their "teaching." Study adequately & think critically to do well.
Exactly how a professor should be. Thank you for a great first semester, Dr. Gonzalez.
Ron is the backbone of the nursing program—seriously. He's so good at what he does. Go to his lectures, record them, take notes, and read ATI (skim...). He cares about us, and it shows. Sometimes it feels like he's one of us, you know? He gets what we're going through and is always super supportive.
He deserves more respect and please don't ruin the privilege to having a much good professor for others. When a professor is willing to get down to the earth did not meant you can step all over him or try to take as much as advantage of him, i am concerned for the future not this sem. Please hold your own standard and be a decent student/human.
Very kind and understanding. Ron teaches with his past nursing experience and incorporates with his lecture. Always so positive and available for his students. Definitely an asset to CSN's nursing program! Material is easy to understand, just those new gen questions can be confusing.
It was a pleasure taking Dr. Gonzalez's class this semester. He is an excellent teacher and talented lecturer - everything he teaches sticks. You still have to prepare for exams and study to do well, but he provides everything necessary to succeed. The nursing program at CSN is lucky to have him.
Ron is a real one. Enough said
There is no CSN Nursing program without Dr. Gonzalez! Students are so lucky to enter the program and have a man like him introduce him to the field of nursing. Listen to what he says, and you will never have to worry about his class. He is here to help us succeed!
The best professor I've ever had so far. He makes it a point to check on everybody if they are struggling or need help. He's very understanding and caring. He wanted his students to pass his subject AND the nursing program. He's not only a teacher, but he is someone who will do everything to make you feel that he wants you to succeed.
Ron is amazing! He's really good at what he does. Wouldn't want another professor teaching fundamentals like him.
Dr. Gonzalez was an amazing professor. He consistently created a supportive learning environment and was always attentive to his students' needs. His teaching style was clear, organized and engaging, which helped me build a solid foundation in nursing fundamentals. I'm grateful to have had him for my first semester, and I highly recommend him!
Ron is one of those professors you get once in your college career and remember forever. I usually don't learn much from most in-person lectures, but Ron has a way of making the material stick in your head. If you're lucky enough to have him as your professor, just pay attention to his slides, study them and you'll be good to go.
Dr.Gonzalez was by far the best instructor I have ever had. He is very clear with his expectations and gives feedback when you ask for it. He never failed to keep us engaged during lecture. He makes sure to keep everybody motivated.
