    Something that I'm so SICK of hearing...

    Come here to vent anytime! But don't be so hard on the woman who said "how daunting". I don't necessarily think that's a negative statement. It sounds like she may be aware of the time and effort...

    Horrid clinical uniforms

    We're fairly lucky. We wear royal blue scrubs with the CC logo embroidered over the breast pocket. White t-shirt beneath, white athletic shoes. Could be worse. That vest thing...

    Missing Clincials??

    In my program, I think you have to be dead to miss a clinical, and even then, I'm not sure that they won't fail you! But lots of schools don't have clinicals on Saturday. So, don't sweat anything...
