    I don't like pediatric patients, am I normal?

    I'm not a fan of geriatrics or most adults. So absolutely not abnormal. I have a bunch of friends who'd rather be unemployed than work in peds or OB

    ABSN chances??

    If they allow retakes then likely they don't "look down upon" it. Best thing to do would be to ask flat out. Simply say I plan on retaking xyz, however I am curious as to whether the admissions...

    Which Littmann stethoscope is best?
