  6. help with interferring classmate

    SC APRN replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    I don't want to tell my instructor anything. I want to discuss the situation. I have no doubt the student will fail out, one more clinical error and she's gone. In the meantime I don't want her near...

  13. PCA vs CNA

    SC APRN replied to Cryssi's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants
