No, it isn't....it is an asset in a hospital environment. That's why hospitals have nurses.

I am right. A waste of your time, your instructors time, the slot that someone else could have utilized, your clinical preceptor's time, and your money. But it is all about you after all.

No, otherwise we would have a Special Forces Nursing program. We don't.

Excuse -> I, and MANY others, suffered injuries during SFAS. People have crawled across the finish line after the final road march. I tore my ACL, so what. When I "shuffled across the finish line" to weigh my ruck after the final event and then went for my own X-Rays 3 days later....I had 5 fractures between my two feet. So what. Men in my pod would walk around at night leaving bloody foot prints from the hamburger that their feet had turned into. Open wounds from "ruck rash" oozed and bled all over our uniforms and we glued our socks to our feet with tincture of benzoin so we wouldn't have to peel our socks off bloody feet. Why? BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT IT TOOK.
"I tore a muscle...BOO HOO"
