  1. Please help I cant hear vitals

  14. akward situations in the home

    I worked nights in home health for 3 years and never slept. I knew some of the aides that worked on other cases did but I figured it was because they had no license to lose. I couldn't see why anyone...

    Okay, you seem like a very nice guy and that seems like a very nice way to handle it but understand that not everyone would handle it that way. Maybe if the student is some 18 year old it might change...
  22. cheating classmates!

    Look around the classroom. The average nursing student is not 18 or 19 years old. They are old enough to know better then to cheat. Although an 18 year old is also. Age is not an excuse for stupidity...
  23. cheating classmates!

    These are not children. They know cheating is wrong. They don't need someone to warn them that it is wrong because since they were in grade school people have been telling them so (apparently not...
