   spb1 replied to Logos's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We did cow eye, sheep brain and pig fetus for abdominals. It was very interesting and I like it. Working with the tools they give you is a bit frustrating and tying the pig fetus down on the lab tray was a challenge. Usually, it's just the smell t...

   spb1 replied to johnsonprn2's topic in CNA/MA

   Whew - I'm glad I didn't train on her wing. The nurses, CNA and CMAs were very kind to my class. We were all so afraid of doing or saying something wrong that we were paranoid. If I had worked with this person, I might not have had the stamina to ...
