Rings (Was: Graduation gift ideas)

[Guest guest]

Ok, while I DO understand the purpose behind not wearing rings (they could

snag and then there is another patient) I hate to say that, unless my hands

are swollen, and they sometimes do in the summer, I have never removed my

wedding ring.

Any other reasons why it should be removed other than the " snag " safety

reason?

Sincerely,

as long as they are not worn on duty, a ring should be fine.

then again, even wedding bands should not be worn on duty....

If a ring is what you want to do, I'd much rather go with a custom

personalised job anyhow, rather than some generic thing from a whacker

site. The

three big boys from the custom class ring world are:

But yeah, I still agree with the career counselling recommendation.
