Couldn't find any recent posts about ride alongs, so I created a new one! Interested in critical care, and doing a ride along in NYC. Does anyone know how to get something like that started?
I grew up in the AV!! I just moved... but, I've been looking at jobs at AV hospital! They have quite a few job openings! Not on topic, but definitely motivating! :) Good luck
