First time I decided I needed aome teal world experience rather than going in right out of college. The second time I was in a group of nurses headed to Liberia when we all were suddenly let go. They decided they prefered non-professionals, people who would go to new parts of the country and get the locals used to americans vs having nurses who'd do things. I still think about it but MSF would be more what I'd like now, If I were to do such a thing.
