  2. Med Student Hierarchy?

    KaksRN replied to KaksRN's topic in General Nursing

    By no means am I trying to laugh at them. I just want to know what's going on. From what someone said, I am now led to believe that the ones I see are all residents. So should I refer to the...

    KaksRN replied to puppies1123's topic in General Nursing
