   My CPR instructor explained that if you are a healthcare worker, or someone who should know better, and you cause harm (such as snapping off the xyphoid process), then you can be held liable.... because you should have known better. A Good Sam will ...

   It was an awesome day! Interviews were not bad... no tricky questions. My interviewer was super nice and easy to talk to. They are more or less asking you the same questions you answered in your personal statement. The group interview is not bad,...

   I live about 30min from campus, so it's a nice little commute for me. I'll be there on the 29th (well...I HOPE I will! Where is that confirmation email??) I'm so excited! Of course, the wait now is nothing compared to the nerve-wracking wait AFTE...

    I rsvp'd for the 29th, but I haven't heard back yet. I was reading what the last cohort had to say, and one person did recommend a suit. She said that just a nice shirt and pants would have been under-dressed compared to most, but I'm really not su...
