I would have to say that OB rotation was the worst. First of all, I am a non-traditional student. I would say that most of the bias came from my clinical instructor. Nurses and mothers were mostly...
I would like to congratulate all of my younger cohorts! To TxGirl1982, it is never too late. I will start my last two semesters this August in a BSN program at the age of 59 and will graduate in May,...
