Comment:
Mrs. Lopez's way of teaching is NOT for me. I can say that many classmates and I learned under extreme PRESSURE and were discouraged and deemed stupid if we didn't know an answer. She will BELITTLE you or diagnose you with something and try to force THERAPY on you. With many complaints on her, I don't understand why she is still there.

Professor Lopez will make this class terrible that you will regret it. you wont pass because she wont help you pass . In case you ask question she will tell you is that what the book says . of course she is not update with the book thats why she doesn't want to answer the questions. this school should be close she is not a teacher she is a soldier

Comment:
A terrible nursing instructor who is very rude and speaks without thinking. She will humiliate you in front of the class if you disagree with her. Also, she takes her exams from another source that isn't related to your book. You usually don't have any choice in profs so if you have her, just keep your head down or be her favorite student.

Comment:
Arrogant and rude. Example: "I thought you were smart. Try again" She is one of the professors who refuses to be recorded probably because of the rude comments she says to students. Terrible teaching practices because when you ask a question or get an answer wrong she will be rude like the comment once said above.

Comment:
Hard class to get through. Her lecture just goes on and on. She other goes off on tangents that arent really relevant, which takes up most of the class. I would prefer if she was more helpful as to what to expect on the tests. But she is obviously passionate about what she does and takes her job seriously so you know youre in good hands.

Comment:
Had her for clinicals. Did I learn a lot, yes but her methods are not my style. She is condescending and rude. Know your labs and vitals ranges. Know your patient. Will require books: lab book, dictionary, pathophysiology and not digital bc shes old school. If she likes you then she will favorite you. If not, you will see her bad side.

I had Ms. Lopez back in 2012 when I first started the VN program. She's whatevers. She will either like you or hate you. My advice, just study the material, come to class, and clinical and you'll pass.

Comment:
Lopez really expects the best out of her students, especially if you have her as a clinical instructor. Know your lab values, know whats happening with your patient and WHY. Always, always know the WHY. As tough as the course was, I can say I took a lot out of her method of teaching, and I can also say I felt more prepared. Definitely learned alot

Comment:
Mrs. Lopez is strict but with good reason. Nursing is dangerous so you have to be prepared. Study what she lectures on. KNOW KNOW KNOW that lab values and what that means for patients. If you are prepared you should do well in her class. She cares about her students and is passionate about this career path.

Comment:
Lopez is super tough! She expects the best from her students, but also gives you her best. If you follow the rules and come prepared, you're good. If you break the rules, you'll get called out and will have to write a paper. She truly cares about her students and wants them to be the best; that's why she's so strict. She's an excellent teacher!

She is very knowledgeable and expects the best from students. She wants you to be the best and you will learn a lot. You need to come prepared, and make sure you read beforehand. A word of advice, she is unprofessional and rude.

Comment:
I agree with some of the things on the comment below. However, she is definitely good at what she does. She wants great nurses. Work hard, look up what you don't know, and don't take her feedback personally. She really is trying to teach you. The field isn't easy and you have to have tough skin. I learned a lot from her. On ALL levels.

All I can say is: DONT TAKE AN EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR FOR GRANTED Yes, she is strict, but all the good ones usually are! You will NEVER walk out of her lecture or clinical saying that you didn't learn anything Put in your part! Study, pay attention, take notes, watch videos, ask questions. You will be lucky to have her

She prepares you for the rest of nursing school. She may come off as a bit hard but what she teaches you, sticks. She expects excellent nursing care and drills her student on what it takes to be an amazing nurse. She knows how to push everyone's buttons hard enough to get them going, will never push you harder than she thinks you can handle.

Great teacher! Gives you the tools you need to be successful and you need to do the rest. If you show interest, she will give you even more. She wants to teach those who want to learn and doesn't tolerate anything else. Learned a lot and had a good time doing it.

She is not the one to try and cut corners with, because she will see right threw your tricks. She is very tough, but only because she wants you to be a thinking nurse. Great teacher!
