  2. Oh and thank you! Good luck to you too!
  3. I guess that's what I'm struggling with a little. In Job 1, I still get to do peds but I also get to learn so many other things about other areas I do have an interest in! And yet, I'd probably love job 2 and the non-commute is definitely a plus. But...

  12. Dear Nursing Student
