Samantha Cintron is the best professor I have ever had. She is kind, caring, and professional. She creates a comfortable learning environment where I feel like I can ask questions and truly learn. Her tests are fair, and she truly sets us up for success. After our second test, I didn't do as well as I had hoped. I had a few questions on my challenge sheet during the exam, and she personally emailed me to explain every question I missed. This showed she truly appreciated me as a student and shared her passion for teaching. I ask a lot of questions in her class, and she is never frustrated and is always excited to answer them.

I particularly enjoy this class because I worked in healthcare for a few years before coming into this program; because of that, I have more advanced questions, and she is always excited to help me learn more. I have earned some of the best test scores in this class compared to my other classes, and I truly believe it is because of her dedication and commitment to helping us succeed. One reason I want to pursue the nurse practitioner program here is that I would love to have her as a professor again. She is a wonderful asset to the School of Nursing. My future nursing practice will be forever shaped by her.

Thank you, Samantha, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
