10. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    NurseChick04 replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    There is no way I would do that. What are they going to do kick you out? That would give a bad rep to that school. We never had to do that and that is just ridiculous. Don't let them scare you into doing something like this that you are not comfortab...
