  2. I overslept on clinical day!!!

    dianacs posted a topic in General Students

    dianacs posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am interested in the field of women's health, but I'm not really into the pregnancy aspect of it. I know that childbearing is an obvious aspect of women's health, but I am more interested in other...
