Maddy Wheeler - SKC Faculty and Instructors

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

So some teachers that really stand out to me as amazing are I mean, I'm a little bit biased because I'm in the nursing program. I remember you know, my first couple years of nursing school. I knew that the material we were getting was like nothing but first grade. It was just so cool to see the passion she has for teaching. She just is so mindful of her students and really focusing on, like, where they're at with their learning and if she can help them or and if she can present the material in a better way And, um but holding us accountable to like, our quizzes are at certain times and you need to be here and you need to participate. It's really great to have that accountability. Heather Dawson is just amazing, and she really makes the nursing program at SKC something that is almost out of this world. She brings so much spunk and just passion for learning and for nursing. I worked with a lot of like my community service and different things, and with her last year in the student nursing organization. She just always wants to go above and beyond for people. I think that that's one thing that nurses air called to do, and she just lives it through and through, and you can see it. That's one thing I appreciate about teachers, as you know, not just throwing information at you, but really like living what they're teaching and living what they're preaching. Lisa Harman, she's that our director of nursing, I mean talk about like, every single smart academic accolade. Um, this woman has it, and she's done so many cool things. I mean, helped open E. R s and helped run hospitals and run hospitals and be a manager and do all these things. I can't even believe that her and Heather and a bunch of other teachers I can't believe there s k c. They really make it something so wonderful on something so beautiful there. The material that Dr Harming brings is just amazing. Just a few weeks ago, two weeks ago, we did a lesson on traditional healing techniques in my pain management course. Um, it was just so cool to see how badly she wants Thio incorporate MAWR, Native American culture and more Native American competency in the nursing program and really prepare us as nurses to help vulnerable populations and help the people of this area. We should know how to properly treat people and and know the alternative healing techniques. She's so sweet and so supportive and will always reach out to you if you need it and make timeto Google hang out with you and and even remote learning, it's like nothing ever changed. Like with all my teachers, they just they're equally a supportive in there for you. The nursing department has a tutor specifically for nursing students because nursing schools hard, I will admit you could make it through. It's OK, even as a single mom, a single parent, someone that's taking care of family, uh, their support and there's opportunities. So Sue Gerhard is our tutor, and I just like smile and giggle a little bit. Every time I think about her and talk about her, she just is amazing. She's like this bubbly essence and this amazing aura. She just brings it toe skc and it's so cool that I had the opportunity to know her and toe learn with her. She has been around all the blocks, all the hospitals. Having that experience is amazing and bring it to the students is awesome. I know that in other departments like the writing department, they've got tutors and they could go over your papers. It seems that they have the people and have the professors in place to help you succeed. I feel like she's the emotional support backbone for SKC and for the nursing program. She literally, I feel like would break her back for any of US students. It's not just like, oh well, that's too bad, like figured out. It's just like she wants to work with you and she wants to help you. I just appreciate that all of the professors I have had, they know their topic inside now. They know their profession inside now, and it makes me more confident getting my degree from there, knowing that I have learned from the best of the best, and I know that that's the same in other departments, other classes I've taken, whatever it was. The professors air so passionate they're not burnt out there there because they wanna be. They're not because it's a paycheck, and I think that makes a difference.
