  14. Is it worth it?

    twinsmom788 replied to hayleyb44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Is it worth it?

    twinsmom788 replied to hayleyb44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    twinsmom788 replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    not certain that this is a harsh reaction or not since I wasn't there. However...as a former OR nurse, students should be SILENT. Never, ever, speak unless spoken to. The patient can hear more than...
