Reviews of professor Robin Smetana

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She still practices nursing so her skills are current and to the point. She expects full participation and will hold you accountable for your own effort. She provides real feedback and allows you time to correct mistakes on your own. She never spoke down to a student nor did she undermine the lack of experience a level one student had. Highly rec.

Smetana is the most caring professor. She is big on attendance so don't be late. She is a true patient and student advocate that will do everything she can to help you learn. She helps with the overwhelming nature of level 1 nursing and brings it down in a way that is digestible. She needs to move on to a higher level so I can take her again.

Ms. Smetana is very knowledgeable in clinical due to her being a working ICU nurse. I learned a lot and she is very hands on. I got to do a lot of skills and she is very helpful and cares about her students. She will answer any questions and assist you with skills you are struggling with. She is hilarious and easygoing. Great instructor.

Ms. Smetana was THE BEST clinical instructor for level one!! She's passionate about you learning and getting the most out of your clinical experience. She doesn't micro manage and she will be right there if your unsure. I wish she moved on with us. She definitely created an environment for us to learn and be confident in applying our skills.

Mrs. Smetana is an amazing clinical instructor. Just from what Ive seen her do during clinical, she is the type of nurse I will strive to be. She makes sure you know what youre doing and most importantly, WHY youre doing it. I am moving on from level 1 with full confidence for level 2. If youre lucky enough to get her you will be in good hands!

I had an amazing experience with her. She made the class enjoyable with her personality and informative with her expertise in the material. She takes a personal interest in her students and does whatever it takes to help everyone learn the material. I wish she taught all levels because I would sign up for each one without a second thought.
