Reviews of professor Catherine Hrycyk

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Catherine is very knowledgable (has been a nurse for nearly 4 decades + has been teaching at De Anza for many years). She can be a bit of a stickler but she prepares you for the reality of a working nurse, for instance she does not tolerate tardiness because it is unacceptable as a nurse. She's witty, very resourceful, and provides valuable advice.

Save yourself and go to a different program. De Anza is her program and she likes to run it her way. If she finds you do not fit into the image, she will come after you. If you fail the program once don't re enter the program. Go somewhere else while you can. A 2nd fail means you won't be accepted anywhere and saying goodbye to you dream forever!

Terrible. She was the only option for summer but she is the worst. Unkind, unhelpful, rude, unprofessional. For a P/NP class, it was unnecessarily hard. She makes students feel belittled and unintelligent. As a nurse with 40 years of experience, you would expect her to be a bit more compassionate and nice to her students, which she is not at all.
