2. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

   2pugs replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

   I agree with you on the preparedness issues, they were probably in the right on those, as I'm sure dress code and equipment was addressed before clinical started. The "near miss/medication error" thing has me stumped. If they are standing there watch...
