   That's a great idea but I tried to get gloves for this test and the time frame was over the holiday. I test on Monday. I've called every medical supply facility near me and there are none. I just need luck, prayers and a good set of gloves at random ...

   Yes, there is a course evaluation at the end. I will rate it as I experienced it and speak with the Dean of the Nursing program in regards to this specific practice. I even offered to buy more supplies for practice since it is so crucial. I believe t...

   It's just a school policy which I will try to eliminate before its over. You get one set of practice materials and supplies and 2 attempts at any skill. Failure on the second try us an immediate course failure. No exceptions. I want to have this chan...

   I have 2 pair that I've been reusing to practice with but nothing is the same as opening a new package and seeing what you get. The lab isn't open through the holiday so my best chance is to go early Monday to practice but they won't give you extra s...

   I am testing for the second time on Monday on changing a dry wound dressing. I failed my first attempt on sterile gloving. The gloves were stuck together. What is the best method to not break sterility and be able to glove on the first try? Any tips,...
