  9. Has anyone heard of Ideal Professional Institute School of Nursing?

  14. Bad Clinical Instructor

    londonflo replied to delrionurse's topic in General Students

  15. Bad Clinical Instructor

    londonflo replied to delrionurse's topic in General Students

    I find this comment insulting, which it was intended to be. In any educational program, some very difficult decisions are made with regard to students' ethics, knowledge and attitudes. I worked with...
