Scott the Shot: Helping Children Understand the Main Reason for Receiving Shots

James Briggs Raber is a registered nurse who graduated from The University of Alabama in Huntsville. James has been practicing nursing for over fifteen years and has worked in areas such as the Neurological Intensive Care Unit, Outpatient Surgery, and Behavioral Health.
