13. What do you call the teachers??

    ChiaLing replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Our instructors generally preferred to be called by their first names. Reason? They explained that they viewed us, the students, as professionals and future colleagues within the nursing profession, and so we were all on equal footing. I did have o...
