Comment:
Gives reviewers but hardly any topic shows up on her quizzes. She claims that the last quiz would be cumulative but questions reappear from various chapters in her quizzes. Easily gets pissed with eye roll. No extra credit or second chances if you fail. Noticed that her presentations are recycled over the last several years.

Comment:
Professor Hayes is not a bad person but she is the worst teacher I have ever had. Shes a nice woman but she DOES NOT TEACH. Her lectures are all over the place and her slides are absolutely useless. They dont go into any detail whatsoever. Her blueprint is a joke. Maybe two of the topics she puts on the blueprint will be on test.

Comment:
Okay so her classroom experience was terrible. I struggled to pass due to the lack of guidance towards what to study for exams and vague lectures that covered almost nothing. Clinical experience was amazing though! She makes you feel comfortable at clinicals and is understanding. As a person she is great and I love her. Class experience not so much

HAYES IS A NICE PERSON BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE EXAMS. THINGS THAT SHE'LL TELL YOU WOULD BE ON THE EXAMS AREN'T ON AND THINGS THAT SHE BRIEFLY MENTIONS OR DOESN'T MENTION AT ALL ARE ON THE EXAMS. POWERPOINTS ARE USELESS, JUST SKIM THE TEXTBOOK & DO AS MANY PRACTICE Q'S AS YOU CAN FOR EACH CHAPTER. ALL I CAN SAY IS GOOD LUCK.

Comment:
I dont understand why professors Hayes been rated so tough. She was very specific on exams and what chapters to review. However her exams do cover 10-15 chapters and most of the time the following test covers the pervious exam at well. So after reading dont forget the material because it will come up again

She really isn't bad. Of course you need to study and do what's expected. She has no patience for students who are disrespectful, disruptive or who do not study and expect points on exams for questions they got wrong. Do the reading and study and you will be fine. Don't study solely from her blueprints - they do not cover all on the exams.

She is so unorganized and only reads off of the PowerPoint. Her PowerPoint don't help at all either. She makes blueprints for her exams and does not follow them at all. Her exams will have you scratching your head like what in the world is this. Oh and forget about arguing with her about a test question. She will quickly dismiss you.

She is very forgetful and intimidating. stay away! As first level nursing students you are not able to choose your professors, so if you get stuck in this class be ready to read. Your grade relies on just 3 exams and a standardized test. Don't waste your time trying to argue a test question. Keep track of your test grades because they change!

Comment:
She's very confusing as to what the course entails. exams are ridiculous and so is her vague powerpoints. After every exam there's always a dispute with the answers. the dean is no different from her as she clearly explained to us that "we will not fire her if that's what you think will happen." The sad thing about it is that u can't switch section

Participate in class!! If she knows who you are (in a good way) you are golden. If she feels like you're wasting her time, she WILL let you know! Pay attention to what she says it's relevant or you'll be overwhelmed. She's funny and sarcastic, highly recommended one-on-one with her. DONT ASK DUMB QUESTIONS that's what the book is for!

Doesn't teach, instead she wastes hours telling irrelevant stories. Your grade relies on a few tests, which she is HORRIBLE at making. You have to argue her to fix questions that are clearly wrong. Zero sympathy for anyone struggling. She will not motivate you to do better, she will talk you into dropping out. 1/2 class signed petition against her

Horrible! Literally did not teach from week 2 of the semester on. Our class had to teach ourselves EVERYTHING! Extremely forgetful! Took a quiz and she lost half of the classes quizzes and blames the students for it. If you have her for Level on try to switch !!

You will not be prepared for Level 2 if you take her class. If possible, take another professor for this class. Level 2 is the hardest level by far, and you need to be prepared well for it.

Her lectures are an overview of the chapter. Unfortunately her tests are on the details of the chapter. READ EVERY WORD OF THE BOOK! Labs are disorganized and she doesn't tell the instructors how she wants a skill taught so we have to relearn skills! I heard that her clinicals are just as bad!

Ok, so is she easy? No, but this is nursing, it's not supposed to be easy. I'll admit while I was taking her class, I thought it was the worst class ever, but when I look back I actually retained a lot from her and her lectures. She is disorganized which is frustrating, but she is a nice and funny person. And you HAVE TO READ THE BOOK!!

Smart lady with little patience for nonsense. Show up on time, pay attention, ask questions and show interest and she'll be very responsive. Tests are hard-READ THE BOOK! Power points and test blueprints are relatively useless. Pay attention to test questions and answer the question - don't get caught up in the distractions w/in the question.
