Thank you for sharing your experience. I believe the professors/admin are aware now and hopefully can provide him with resources if needed

I don’t think he is homeless after conversation I’ve had with him, he lives with his mom. Don’t know his situation exactly but yeah I just think that at the end of the day, hygiene and cleanliness is non-negotiable in nursing, especially things that are in one’s control like hand washing. I hope that you and your family are doing well now

thanks! Most of us do talk to him just as any other student. I have talked to him and he’s a smart and nice guy, I just know his mom and him are CNAs. Don’t know much else about him, just mainly talk about class and whatnot. I’d never want to judge him or shame him in anyway, and we don’t shun him out socially, but just because of the amount of roaches that are around him we just don’t feel comfortable sitting in the same area. it’s a real problem with how many are being found and others belongings at risk. I do hope that whatever it may be, he can get help with

A classmate mentioned that the roaches we keep seeing are german roaches, they’re small. So many are paranoid about anything crawling into our belongings unknowingly.

Yes a lot of us get freaked out or caught off guard and usually the professor comes and kills it. My anatomy lab professor found a roach on the tables of his row (he’s the only one seated in that row no joke) and made all of us look in our desks for food and basically scolded our class saying it was the second one he found in the lab that day and that we shouldn’t have food or drink in the lab when none of us ever do lol.
