    Perhaps practicing is the wrong word. I get experience I get taught. My nurses allow me to learn and they're allowed to have me do the things I've done. All I'm Saying is being a CNA is helping me and...

    Gay male nurse concern about male patient care

    Glycerine82 replied to Devon Rex's topic in Male Nursing Students
