Professor Hurd is new at Dyouville and the smartest professor I have ever had! If you see her courses coming up take them she is the best!!!!!!! Very nice and so experienced she is the best professor they have in nursing!
This is the best professor I have ever had take her in whatever course you can!!!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Hurd I wish I had her before I learned so much-take any class you can with her!
Professor Hurd is the greatest, so helpful and super nice. She relieves your stress and knows how to teach!
Professor T is the smartest professor that I have ever had. I only wish I had her for all my nursing classes. she know everything in patho and keeps it clear. She is fun and interesting and never reads from slides! take her classes!
This Professor is the best professor I ever had, only wish I had her for all my nursing courses!
what can I say awesome I will never forget some of the things she taught me only wish I had her for health assessment and my undergrad patho!
First time I have had this professor she is such a great teacher-I cant wait to take other courses with her-also so smart too bad the other professors were not this smart!
this professor takes hard material and makes it super simple actually looked forward to going to this class! she should teach more NURSING courses
She is very outgoing, and eager to teach. I have never had an instructor that was able to explain any concept so well to make things easy to learn and actually fun. She makes the material interesting and she is SO SMART! I wish she could teach all of my grad nurse classes!!
I have never had a teacher like her in my entire life! Super helpful and has taught me things I will never forget, every I second and third all the other comments-Take her when you can!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Hurd is smart, funny, and caring. She is the best teacher I have ever had. She has a different approach to teaching and takes her time to help you think your way through the coarse material. She has inspired me to pursue a career beyond just a Baccalaureate RN and some day I hope to gain the same knowledge she has as an Nurse Practioner.
There would only be one thing better then being Prof T's student, it would to be here patient! the most caring compassionate professor ever-so intelligent!
If you have to take pathophysiology make sure you take it with Prof T it will help you forever, and get into her clinical whenever you can! she is the best go see Dr Hurd if you need to get into her class she will get you in as they fill so fast!
I would only have been able to learn the material with her. She is the best.not Boring at all takes hard material and makes it easy. Also she is so smart it is scary!
Best teacher I've ever had, she is so smart! I could have her teach me anything and understand it.
This professor takes the most difficult concepts and makes them not only easy but fun. For once I actually look forward to her class. Certainly take her whenever you can I would say best professor at Dyouville!
I love her that is all I can say! Take her whenever you can so many times I was going to quit but then I had her!!!!!!!!!awesome
You need to take patho with this professor the absolute best. Not only do we look forward to class but we go over and don't even realize it! what can I say the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's amazing and super smart! However, if you're aiming for an A, it's 80% lecture and 20% slides. Since she doesn't teach by slides, get ready to zip through 400 of 'em. But honestly, I wouldn't trade her for any other professors because what she teaches, you'll apply it all throughout your career as a nurse. I would definitely take her again.
Here is someone who can really teach. I have learned more from her in one course then all of my years at school. She is so fun. Everyone looks forward to going to her class. Be prepared to not sleep. Make sure whatever you do take her for pathophysiology she will do anything to get you through
One word awesome-Only problem I wish she taught more classes!!!
She has kept me in nursing school the best! she travelled everywhere and knows everything best pathophysiology teacher ever!
Prof T is hands down the BEST professor at DYC. Love her!! She uses concepts that will not leave your mind.
I agree Prof T is the very best professor I have ever had!! this is not my first degree and she makes DYouville worth it!!! the best cant wait for this semester!
This is the first time ever in my years at D'youville I have had this professor she taught more in one class then in all my years! I wish I had her before
By far the best teacher I have ever had. Be prepared not to sleep though and get ready it will be such a great experience-LOVE HER wake up Dyouville you need more professors like her !!!!
I wish I had Hurd for patho like my classmates had. Make sure you take her for patho-she is awesome. Never have I had a teacher like her unbelievable and so very cool :-)
I do not think I would have done nursing without this professor. I retook pharm with her and by far she turned it around for me. She is the best professor ever! I know my whole career I will thank her for it! All the posts are right-take her whenever you can!
T Hurd is dynamic and expects you to come to class prepared. I have taken 2 grad classes from her and she knows how to bring concepts to practice like no other. Be prepared to read the textbook before class so you don't get lost and aren't one to ask ridiculous questions.
She is the best professor i have ever had. I also took 2 grad classes with her and will never forget what she taught me. Take patho with her for sure it will help you your whole career!
This professor belongs on TV she is by far the best professor I have ever had. All I can say is take her whenever you can she is by far the best especially for hard courses such as pharm! I consider it a privilege to have had her as a professor
On the last day of classes students take who will nit have her anymore cried. I did as well. She is the most amazing g professor . Sadly I have taken all her courses. Take her whenever you can
This professor is awesome she takes hard concepts and makes them easy. She will do anything to help students learn. great, great take her whenever you can
This is the best professor I have ever had. This is my second degree and she has taken very hard material and as others noted made easy!! She is incredible and brilliant!
I will never forget what this professor did for me-ever. Online I will not say but she inspires the next generation of nurses and has a heart!
Dr. Hurd is inspirational and makes you want to be a great nurse. She is entertaining in her lectures and makes you pay attention by randomly calling on students. She is not organized though, she does not stick to the syllabus and is constantly making up new assignments. She also does not use ppts so her lectures are often confusing to follow
She is really the best. You can ask her any question and she knows the answer. Class is engaging. Unlike other professors she doesn't read from powerpoints but actually takes very hard concepts and makes them easy-she is awesome take her whenever you can.
I was fortunate to learn from this professor and will never forget the concepts she has taught me. She works hard to teach concepts rather then just read from slides other professors should wake up and sit in on her lectures. I had her last year and still attend lectures this year-the best....
Take this professor whenever you can-She is the best!
If you take Hurd you won't just learn the material, you will understand it. I have never had a professor who teaches as well as she does. Don't expect to pass the course if you skip any classes though, you need to pay attention closely (which isn't that hard because she makes the content interesting and she is hilarious)
I agree with the posts-I feel privileged to have her as a professor what a great professor!
Amazing professor. She is so funny and the class is enjoyable. You will actually remember the material learned after the course is over.
I love this professor. I would take courses that she taught just to learn from her. She is scary smart and inspires me to continue my education! Take her whenever you can!
I would recommend this professor to anyone. She makes difficult concepts very easy to understand, D'Youville needs more professors like her. Don't expect her to follow the powerpoint presentations though.
Professor Hurd is hilarious and by far one of the best professors at D'Youville. She is extremely intelligent and great at what she does. She can be confusing and disorganized at times, but she's always willing to help you understand and she's always open for questions. She's very down to earth and really cares about her students.
Dr. Hurd has not only made pharmacology understandable but I achieved an A. She has given me confidence that I can really do this. She cares is an understatement. Her lectures are unbelievable she doesn't need to take attendance because this is one class you will never miss! She is awesome...
She's hilarious. Take her whenever you can. She lectures everything you need to know. The only reason you should buy the book is if you're actually going to read it. She knows a lot of us don't
Prof Hurd is by far the best professor I have ever had. I achieved my first A. Come to class she is entertaining and hilarious and you will not only learn the material but get an A
Class was fun to go to because you actually learn material that you will use in your nursing career. Professor Hurd has difficult tests, but if you know the material you will do well in the class. Make sure to record the lectures so you can listen to them again. Excellent professor.
Excellent Professor-very inspiring, lectures were amazing only wish I could take more courses with her!
She is hilarious and inspirational. She will definitely drill what you need to understand in you head she is very funny, so expect to be picked on. She has a different approach to teaching. You will be working in groups to finish the assigned homework or alone. She is totally well rounded nurse practitioner, who demonstrates different approaches.
This professor is the best professor at Dyouville or really the best professor I ever had. The students flock to her and there is a good reason for that she is fantastic! Take her whenever you can!
This is the best professor I have ever had-she takes very hard concepts and actually teaches doesn't read slide by slide-excellent, Take her when you can!
best professor in D'youville she's awesome very helpful you learn a lot by just listing to her lecture take her courses
No words can describe this professor properly. Just trust these comments and TAKE HER WHENEVER YOU CAN. She has been around the world, she is smart, funny, and an amazing professor. Becoming an amazing nurse is easy in her footsteps. Try hard and she will teach you what you need to know in ways other teachers cannot. AMAZING.
Best professor at D'Youville College! )
The best professor I've had. Never understood what it meant to actually learn from a professor. Teaches you the content and is willing to stick with a hard topic for as long as it takes. Super helpful and hilarious! She has one of those lives that you envy! She loves her career and loves teaching us about it. If only all professors were like her!
This is not only the best professor at Dyouville but the best professor I have ever had. You not only understand the material but once you get into clinical you can apply it. She is absolutely the best only problem is you are spoiled and never want anyone else. The last thing is she just is a very nice genuine person. Love her!
Best teacher, best person in the world. A life saver in nursing and in any aspect of life. I would go for her for anything in nursing. I wish she could teach all our classes. She's brilliant. Nothing bad about her as a teacher or a person from anyone. She doesn't give into or play with the politics of the school, she gives her attn. to us students.
She is The Best Teacher I have ever had in the school. I was really lucky to have taken a class with her. Besides her personal achievements and knowledge about what she is teaching, she is the friendliest prof you will have. SHe is amazing
If you have the chance, definitely take Hurd for patho. She really cares about the type of health care provider you'll be. Not only does she teach the material, but she teaches how things work and how things are linked. You'll walk out of her class and retain what you learned, with a good grade too!
Please, don't take anyone else but Prof. Hurd ! She is one of the best teachers I have encountered at my time here in D'Youville. She actually breaks down the information into situations where you can understand it as opposed to just reading off of a powerpoint. On top of the fact that she is super real, blunt, and funny ! BEST TEACHER EVER!!
AMAZING! One of the only professors at D'Youville that advocates for the students. She does not get caught up in the politics of the school and actually cares and listens to concerns. A lot of bad professors that do not listen to student concerns once further along in the program. Would not recommend going to D'Youville when Professor Hurd retires.
Dr. Hurd is amazing I cant say anything that hasn't been said down before she is an amazing Professor, nurse, person and it is true she really cares about the students! you will also learn more then all your years at Dyouville she is the best thing Dyouville has to offer!
She is semi-organized. She gives interesting lectures. However if you don't show up to class, she won't give you any help. Her tests are pretty easy, but you still have to review her lecture points. Focus on what she says during lecture and that will be more than likely on the exam.
Dr Hurd is not only the most intelligent professor i have every had-the comments are correct she cares beyond anyone there. If you attend class and work with her you will always pass not matter what if you do not she will not do the work for you. Her lectures are amazing most of us strive to be half of the nurse she is!
Dr Hurd is the best teacher at Dyouville. The only problem is she doesn't teach more nursing courses. She is amazing and cares about the students. She truly has a career all envy!
MRS HURD IS A EXCELLENT TEACHER SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS TAKE HER FOR ANY NURSING COURSES SHE TEACHES
Dr Hurd is by far the best professor at Dyouville. I had her in undergrad and came back to Dyouville for my NP just for her. Agreed she doesn't teach enough courses I want her for everything. She is smart and an amazing teacher. Once your used to her so hard to go back to the other boring professors!
Best professor at D'Youville!!! She is the most intelligent person I've ever met and really makes lecture interesting. I took every single undergrad class she taught. Highly recommend
She's one of the best professors ive ever encountered.
This is by far the best instructor at Dyouville take her whenever you can! She really cares about the students and knows how to teach
T Hurd is literally the best professor I have encountered - between my associates, BSN & graduate degree she has shined as the most helpful, inspirational, intelligent, worldly & down to earth professor EVER. She has AMAZING life experience. I took an online version of her class but I still CHOSE to go to her lectures to hear her teach. Incredible.
I don't see how this professor has good reviews. She cuts down the time of the class, teaches one thing then tests us on another. I had her for two courses and I think she was probably one of the worst professors I have ever had. Avoid her at all cost unless you enjoy teaching yourself the information.
Worst professor I've ever had ! Avoid her !!
Dr Hurd Is the best professor at dyouville. She is amazing I have never met a student who didn't love her-the best!take her whenever you can!
This is by far the best professor I have ever encountered. I work with nurses who had her and she is amazing. Orr is impossible to fail her class if you attend classes. Only problem good luck getting in to her class she is very popular
This is by far the best professor and teacher! She takes very difficult material and makes it easy!
Dr Hurd is by far the best professor ever. I as well took online classes but came into her lectures as do many other students. She is amazing and probably the smartest nurse I have ever encountered. Problem is getting into her classes now they fill up in minutes! Take her if you can get in!
Dr Hurd is the best professor at dyouville and ever. She is amazing you will never forget what she taught you. As well very entertaining love her lectures!
I have had Dr Hurd for the last 4 years and truly believe without her I would not have done so well. She is the best her class grades are always higher then other classes and you will never forget what she teaches-super smart!
Hurd is so smart and gives great advice. Her classes are extremely important for nursing and she does a good job teaching you what you need to know, but they are not easy classes. It is not mandatory to go to class but you really miss out if you don't show up because she mainly tests on what she lectures about in class.
Dr Hurd is beyond a doubt the best professor ever-Dyouville needs to take note both graduate students and undergraduate students love her! You will learn so much and enjoy it as well-take her if you can!
This professor was amazing, I took her for pathophysiology and pharmacology and she was one of the best professors I've had at D'youville. She made courses that were hard enjoyable and she really cared about her students. Definitely recommend her!
This is the best professor ever. Take her she is amazing and students love her! She cares about her students and you have to try pretty hard to fail!
I had Dr Hurd both undergrad and grad. She is amazing. This is why I keep going to school she is one of the very few who know how to teach. Problem now try getting into her class . She doesnt teach as much and classes fill in a minute
Dr. Hurd is by far the best professor ever. Unlike other professors she doesnt just read power points and actually teaches. I had her undergrad and came back to take her in grad! Beware my friends couldnt get into her class they fill quick!
Dr Hurd is by far the best professor. She is beyond smart and also hilarious! Students love going to class. Someone you want to take!
I was told by other students to take Dr Hurd and they were right. By far a great teacher. This is my second degree and she is the best professor I have ever had! She is a world renowned speaker no kidding we are lucky to have her!
I heard she's an exceptional lecturer, but for convenience would I have better outcomes in her online formatted section? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
I was nervous taking grad online. My friend told me she is the best online teacher ever! No kidding I did amazing and honestly learned take her either lecture or online!
She's an amazing lecturer and absolutely hilarious.
Dr Hurd is by far the best professor at Dyouville I am so lucky to have her for advanced pharmacology-I really lucked out!
Dr Hurd is by far the best professor at Dyouville. All the students know it and her classes fill up immediately. IF you get her your lucky!
I would never have passed such a hard course if Dr Hurd did not teach it. She is amazing !
Dr Hurd Is an amazing teacher very difficult to get into her courses the smartest professor ever! She teaches doesnt read her notes or power points
Dr Hurd is by far one of the best professors I have ever had-problem is getting into her classes they fill up and then your stuck with someone who wont teach you pharmacology advanced the way she does! Get in as soon as you can!
Dr. Hurd is by far not only the best professor but she is so amazingly smart! Take her whenever you can!!
Dr. Hurd is amazing!
she is really bad, cannot pronounce the names of meds, bacteria or words in general. always has a hoarse voice, sounds uninterested and always forgetful. terrible teacher in clarifying key concepts, assumes that everyone already knows everything. very boring and monotonous. doesn't teach anything remotely related to what' going to be on the exam.
I had Dr Hurd in undergrad and would never have passed pharm without her. This is a graduate online class, very organized and as usual she is amazing. I do miss her in class. Take her !
Dr Hurd is the best professor Dyouville has in the grad department. Take her whenever you can but beware her classes fill up quickly!
Does not provide accurate Syllabus. Does not provide feedback. Does not answer discussion board or messages, when she does, they are vague and unhelpful. Seems annoyed by questions. In the class, did not provide information or post modules in the final weeks before the final despite students begging her for the information . Attacked my character
If you have the ability to take Dr. Hurd you definitely should! One of the few professors I have come across that have truly cared about the success of their students. Very knowledgeable, willing to breakdown material and topics with you. One of the BEST professors I have ever had. Lectures were VOPP. Approachable, respectful, reassuring. 10/10 rec
