   HELP! Got a horrible teacher for Microbiology. What do I do? Drop or keep it?

   slip_into_colors replied to cookie123d's topic in Pre-Nursing

   While ratemyprofessor has some value, I've generally found that many of the bad reviews come from lazy students. I've had teachers turn out to be great that had horrible reviews. Don't put too much weight on that. Talk to the teacher outside of class...

   Yes the merit scholarship is great. Definitely lower overall price than USF. Also it seems that Dominican may get back to in-person classes faster than schools in SF? Maybe. I live/work in SF but Dom was my first choice.

   Blood draws vs. phlebotomists?

   slip_into_colors replied to nursing9462's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a phlebotomist at a hospital in the Bay Area. ER tries to do all their own draws, but calls the lab to come for difficult ones. Other than that, I believe nurses only do central lines, pretty common in ICU.
