   If there is a Walgreens in your area they hire nurses to do screenings, five flu shots, etc. If not Walgreens, maybe a clinic.

   Sad to say, I also was ripped off by this con artist. I wish I had gone to Allnurses sooner!! At least I am going to be able to be refunded by my credit card company. This is ridiculous!!

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

   talockett replied to traceyw's topic in General Students

   I have not read everyone's post, but I would say that the procedure should have been explained to the patient before you all started, and all questions should have been answered. I'm not sure from your post how it was done, but waiting until a proce...

11. First week of class wasn't what I expected.
