Xavier SalasI think what you said in step number one is the most important. Simply deciding on what to do can be the most difficult step; however, it doubles as the most important step I think. I was unaware that having low volume can make you feel too much at ease, which might not be good for the patient. Thanks for the advice!

Joy ButlerI think it’s hard to work in health care because with that comes with rash yet calculated decisions. I think that making sure you’re quick to stick with your initial decision is really important. I will have to remember that as I am pursuing a healthcare career.
