It’s just like a few months ago when I was greeting everyone a happy new year and now some are already greeting me an advance merry Christmas. Sometimes we tend to care less of time and later on realize that the year is coming close to its end. It’s the “ber” months once again and [...]

The other day I was flabbergasted learning that my colleague together with 18 other nurses are scheduled to fly to the US in the next two weeks.
