Hello, I'm an RN, graduated from CNM back in 2002, am getting ready to return to work after taking time away to be a stay at home mom; for years - even while I was still working - I've longed for the opportunity to take anatomy and physiology again (glutton for punishment? probably. but, I actually reeeally love science to begin with, so it'll be win-win for me...), anyway, I finally have the chance and have decided actually sitting present in classes will work best for me. I definitely remember that the instructor can absolutely make or break presentation of material, for classes like A&P especially, so I wanted to see if anyone can fill me in on who's supposed to be the best, as well as which ones are most difficult to understand/disengaged/etc.

Here are the instructors listed for the fall '26 semester: Tappen, Broussard, Niforatos, Freeman, Calabro, and Elenes, by the way!

I'm only going back for the two semesters of A&P, so instructor selection really matters to me big time - THANKS SO MUCH for any feedback you can provide!
