  15. Ugh, those "I'm so stupid" moments

    AP0525 replied to TheCoppertop's topic in Emergency

  16. Resume Critique requested

    AP0525 replied to heron21's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Good format. Correct spelling. Both a plus. Personally, I'd leave out where you did your clinical rotations on a resume. It's not necessary and takes up a lot of space. That's something you may...

  21. Tourniquet with heel sticks?

    AP0525 replied to beautifulbyHisblood's topic in Pediatric
