Student Feedback
Sara has been by far my favorite clinical instructor, she pushes you where you need to be pushed, she explains everything so deep. Sara is very intelligent and is willing to openly share her knowledge with us on topics related to current content. She even gave us additional pointers on skills such as inserting IVs.
