    Here.I.Stand replied to Bjessica's topic in General Nursing

    OB Unit for Male Student

    Here.I.Stand replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in General Students

    This sounds all kinds of illegal... I mean OB patients would have every right to decline a student for any reason, but for the HOSPITAL to deny a placement based on sex/gender?? I think the EEOC...
