Meet Our Faculty: Tasha Zochert

I consider myself to have a non-traditional, facilitative style of teaching. I'm deeply passionate about nursing and strive to ignite that same love and dedication in my students. While I hold high expectations for them, I'm also strict because I believe in their potential and will do everything I can to help them succeed. My teaching style is rooted in my commitment to supporting and challenging my students to excel in this demanding yet rewarding profession.

In the last year, I have completed two Spanish immersion courses in Costa Rica in an effort to improve my language skills to better serve my non-English speaking patients.

As a faculty member at CSM, I consider my greatest achievement to be the inspiration I instill in each of my students during our clinical rotations. I take pride in offering real-world patient experiences and tailor my approach to develop each student individually, nurturing their personal motivation for pursuing a career in nursing. 

I currently work at a small community hospital, but am soon moving back into a dedicated ICU position at a major DC hospital because I miss the high-level acuity. 

As a graduate of CSM, I can attest to the excellent nursing program it offers. CSM provides a diverse range of courses, reflecting its commitment to delivering a comprehensive education. This program enhances students' knowledge and skills, but also prepares them effectively for the demands of the nursing profession.

I recommend students take my class because of my commitment to fostering a transformative learning experience. I set high expectations to challenge students to reach their full potential while providing individual attention to support their growth. By addressing the unique motivations of each student, I create a dynamic learning environment where every individual feels valued and empowered to succeed.
