4. LPN students have to give bed baths to classmates?!

   jkfickle replied to Namine's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   No one should be required to subject themselves to a bed bath, period. If the instructor feels it is not a big deal then she can strip down and be the subject for the class! Even patients have the RIGHT to refuse a bed bath! I am disappointed by the ...

5. Crossed the line... or expected behavior?

   jkfickle replied to traceyw's topic in General Students

   You are assuming that the patient wanted to know everything that was happening. You can certainly be supportive and follow the lead of the one performing the procedure. Can you imagine the concentration it takes to perform a thoracentesis? Part of th...

    jkfickle replied to sugarshoes's topic in Ohio

    I am @ COTC which I was dead set against. However, I am starting my 4TH quarter, where I was waitlisted at CSCC and would just be starting my 1st quarter. COTC has been great, half the class lives in Columbus, some of us even carpool! We even have so...
