    ditto jla...with a BIG reminder to be as flexible as possible. There were numerous times when we had schedule changes at the very last minute...it does make it hard for those of us with kids or those that are working, but they really do expect you t...

    I love Mrs. Routh :) But, I know she's super hard on her clinical group...I think she's made them each cry at least once this semester. I know that it's for our own good and she's just setting us up for success, but I don't know if I am strong enou...
