relatable
By Alex G. on 27. February 2024 for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)

This is my type of explanation. I definitely won't forget.

 
Amazing Intro!!!
By Hafsat N. on 23. February 2024 for Classification – Congenital Heart Disease

It is a comprehensive introduction, which makes it easier to follow along. I like how he explains every term he mentions. It made it much easier to understand, and I didn't need to google everything he mentioned.

 
not very engaging
By Vicky N. on 23. January 2023 for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)

no information went into my brain - I may as well used a youtube video.

 
Do not throw the medical content into the nursing section
By Jennell L. on 24. October 2022 for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)

This does not make the topic any easier to understand. I feel like I am missing some videos and yet this is the 4th video in the pediatric series and I watched the other 3. The only lecturer you guys have that makes things easy to understand is Rhonda Laws. Also, it does not work to take the medical videos and throw them into the nursing section.
