The people. They are all happy to have you as a part of the team and willing to help and answer questions when needed. I felt comfortable by everyone and I ended up feeling like part of their 'family'. (2004)
Students identified difficulties in this placement
It is difficult to contact people because of the heavy work loads. It's difficult to make good friends because there are so many staff people you deal with. (2004)
