  3. My clinical instructor threw me out of clinical!

    Nightbloom replied to Nightbloom's topic in General Students

    The original pt I was assigned to wasn't in his room so the instructor assigned me another pt late in the morning. This put me behind and threw me off. I guess I felt overwhelmed by the fact that as...

  9. Any current/former nursing students have unsupportive families?

    Nightbloom replied to crazyco's topic in General Nursing

    My parents couldn't afford to send me to school. Look at it from their perspective, maybe your parents can't afford it or they never went to college so they don't see the value in it. I got loans...
