    KNL6/25/05 replied to anfe's topic in General Students

    The class prior to my CNA course had to do the bathing suit baths. Our instructor, after debate with the faculty, put a stop to it. Her view is that we are students, not patients, and therefore the experience would not be the same but would be hum...
