  15. Sent home from clinical :(

  16. Sent home from clinical :(

    You are not the only one that has ever been sent home from a clinical, trust me. I saw classmates get sent home for less. If there was one thing that I learned in nursing school, it was to stop...

  24. New Grad from New York wanting to move to California
