  1. Nudity?

    Faith213 replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    We do practice providing privacy. We close the curtain and the "patient" is under the covers. We ask them if they would like to move the covers or if we can to better view their abdomen, chest, etc....

  2. Nudity?

    Faith213 replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

  3. Nudity?

    Faith213 replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    Nope. We were assigned a partner of the same sex. We did our return assessments on them behind a curtain with our instructor. You'd be surprised how quickly you get used to it. We had to wear...

  6. Buying textbooks online?

    Faith213 replied to C-lion's topic in General Students

    Faith213 replied to student_in_maine's topic in General Students

  15. Does your school allow you to record lectures (audio)

    Faith213 replied to RB2000's topic in General Students

    My school does not allow it. They use HIPAA as a reason, even though I've never heard any patient names or identifying information used, I guess it keeps them safe if it

  16. Nervous about starting school.

    Faith213 replied to justchill's topic in General Students

  20. Health Assessment

    Faith213 replied to cupcake231's topic in General Students

    I definitely agree with this. I have a Littmann master cardiology and my classmates were amazed at how much better they could hear with it. It made it so much easier to differentiate between different...

    Faith213 replied to Shelby R.'s topic in General Students
