The result: poor bedside nurses. In some schools, it is possible to earn a degree without ever being on night or solo duty, assisting at a delivery or performing such basic chores as catheterizations and suctioning lungs. Says Dr. Lester Candela, a surgeon in Great Neck, N.Y.: "When these women meet an emergency and are matched against more experienced hospital school students, they're often embarrassed and suffer by comparison."
