I only recommend Sylvia because she is passionate about what she does and fights hard to get her students clinical experience. As for instruction, she is very disorganized and can be harsh and make people feel small when they make mistakes. Her daughter sometimes assists. This girl is very crass and narcissistic. I wish I could get my money back.

Highly experienced, highly intelligent and highly caffineated. Sylvia makes it impossible to dose off in class. She has a really full plate because she is in such demand from outside (other colleges, nursing schools & company training are just a few) but she skates into class just on time and keeps the time flying & the information flowing! A+!

Slyvia was completly disorganized and constantly late. She couldn't remember what she had gone over with our class because she uses the same tests and assignments with every class.
