2. Is anyone else being pushed for 30 minute turnover times in between cases?

   fruitycandy replied to jamieplusfour's topic in Operating Room

   Hi all! Can I join in? Sorry to be a latecomer. I also applied to the May 2011 cohort at this program. All I want for Christmas is a letter of acceptance! Sounds like we won't be hearing anything until well after the holidays, but a girl can st...
