1. Termination

   FutureERDoc replied to FutureERDoc's topic in General Nursing

   Well the reaming and the disapproval of my action that I have received on this site has actually been beneficial. I certainly won't do it again or any other procedure until I am in medical school; I start in a year. I do agree that my best chance ...

2. Termination

   FutureERDoc replied to FutureERDoc's topic in General Nursing
