  10. "Getting on" on HBO

    Stella_Blue replied to savoytruffle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Stella_Blue replied to ElizabethH736's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stella_Blue replied to unbalanced's topic in General Students

    It sounds like this instructor is a typical "Nurses eat their young" type of instructor. It sucks when it does happen. I had an instructor like that. It was my first med pass clinical and she felt...
