Viola is a string instrument similar to a violin, but a little larger. Silly nurse!

Violas are part of the string quartet that plays in the lobby of the well-to-do cosmetic surgery centers to calm the patients before they get their bill for a cash only industry

Also chemical structures as we know it now have changed as hydrogen peroxide is no longer H2O2 but now C2O2.

From all nurses...

IVC is not inferior vena cava but the controversial intravenous vitamin C (which will cure influenza and the common cold in 7-9 minutes) and ACV is the cure all apple cider vinegar.

Premium salaries are paid to those who preceptorate. Oh and counselor is now spelled counscillor.
