  1. OB nursing...I just don't get it.

  18. If you were me, would you...

    Yes, that's what I was thinking too! I would at least like to work part-time for the experience. I find myself so nervous on the floor at clinical and look at the student with the CNA experience who's...

  20. Oh, and our clinical instructor was there to guide us, answer questions, etc. Plus, we had a RN mentor that helped us (she was amazing...I wish she could be there during every clinical!) We weren't...
