Reflection:  Clinical managers have a big important job to do. They are in charge of what is being done to make the life of the doctors and nurses easier. It says it in the name  manager. I had never heard of a career like this but putting thought to it it wouldn't seem like a bad idea to try it out. It's different and new to me and who knows maybe I might be pretty good at it considering I still can't find the perfect career for me. This career would be one i'll be willing to try.
