   mzattitude posted a topic in General Students

   Would it be inappropriate to befriend a clinical instructor or someone who was teaching you? Taking into account the other students as a whole. Would it be fair to them?

7. Pt Interactive Anxiety

   mzattitude replied to 12breakfree's topic in General Students

   There's no need to put yourself below or above your instructor/nurse. Everyone is there for the same purpose. To plan better patient care. The next time you go to clinicals. Think about what u are going to do for the weekend. If u go into clini...

    mzattitude replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    First of all, I am really sorry to hear about the stress you are going through. Everyone goes through it in nursing school. As for the two cheating girls. Don't get caught up in it--stay out of it. They will eventually get caught all on their own...

13. What do you take to clinicals??
