Reviews of professor Tom Scully

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Tom Scully, I guess you can call him a gem. He taught advanced level materials that are good to know in clinical settings. The topics themselves are tough, but this caring man was willing to talk us through it. I feel much more prepared for the real world of nursing thanks to his teachings. You best be prepared to work for it.

Scully is a gem, an advanced practice nurse giving good, practice-focused lectures for the love of the game at your local community college. Having a guy like this for foundational med-surg is a huge gift. Come to all the lectures, do the reading, and have a study plan, and drink from the firehose of knowledge. You'll be fine.

Scully is truly a gem of a nursing teacher. He cares about his students and does his best to help you learn. Nursing is HARD, you must work for your degree. Test questions are hard but fair and appropriate for learning level. Really can't thank this professor enough for the learning experience he provided. You can become great nurses with him.

This gem of a professor taught on irrelevant subjects and regularly condescended the class for not doing well. You can still do well in a class AND think the professor was awful. Never available for help and he thought his test reviews were some golden ticket. He makes it seem easy and obvious, but its anything but, as questions are obtuse.

writes provider based questions, is super inappropriate for nursing exams. don't understand how so many students failed and he is still able to teach.

Teaches relevant and experienced based skills for critical thinking and assessments. Pay close attention in lecture- he will make a great nurse out of you. Exam questions are difficult by nature of the course. They are combined knowledge based and critical thinking (essential for nurses). Gives extra effort to support the success of his students.

Study hard, show up to class and read. If you don't put the effort in, you won't get passing grade. I dropped down to part time this semester, barely worked, studied my butt off and got a B+. Don't get distracted by the negative reviews. People like to blame teachers when they do poorly due to lack of individual responsibility. Put in the work!

So many angry people here :D! Tom's really good, but it's Nursing so it's hard. He actually works as a nurse, so you'll get very evidence-based knowledge. Exams are rough, but if you do the reading, attend lectures, & put in the work, you shouldn't struggle: it's just a lot of material in one semester! Overall, pretty smart and knowledgeable guy.
