So i'll be entering nursing school this summer/fall and I'm nervous about clinicals since I don't have CNA/EMT experience. Bf is an anesthesiologist and I would like him to teach me some clinical skills before nursing school starts to get a head start. What should I get him to teach me?

I might just wait until school starts. They will teach you the skills you need and the right way to perform them according to their standards. Pre-req for my nursing program was to take a CNA course. Didn't actually have to get registered if you didn't want, but to learn the basic CNA skills. Maybe you could consider that while you wait for the summer/fall classes to start.

Physicians are clueless about the work of nursing so asking your BF for help would not be a good idea - and may have a negative impact on your relationship. Don't believe me? Ask him about the last time he put a patient on a bedpan, applied TED hose or washed someone's dentures - LOL.

@HouTX- haha he gets along with nurses at work really well and read my nursing school essays for hours. our relationship works probably probably because he's in healthcare but not a nurse LOL.
