    Has anyone had problems with the nurses during clinicals?

    maire replied to mlfp53's topic in General Students

    How do clinicals work?

    maire replied to beccaleigh72's topic in General Students

    If you can't lift a patient you get help. And if the two of you can't lift the patient, then ask for more help. LOL During my first semester me and one of my classmates almost dropped a stroke...
