3. Advice needed about clinical instructor

   kmartin906 replied to RNbethy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   kmartin906 replied to kmartin906's topic in General Students

   Yes, I passed! Thanks for asking! Best part was this -- I was obviously being made an example for my fellow students. Personally in my opinion was a real crappy way of doing so. During my final...

    kmartin906 replied to nancy.wong's topic in General Students

    kmartin906 posted a topic in General Students

    So yesterday was my last day at our clinical site. We've been there for an entire semester. I usually feel pretty good about my work - not 100%, because I am not in the medical field currently. We...
