Today I spent 10 hours at JPS on one of the Med-Surg floors during nursing clinicals. I've been coming to JPS for 5 months now in Med-Surg and Labor and Delivery and have gotten very familiar with the nurses and other staff as well the patient population and I've been very impressed by the care provided by this organization.
