    nope. ocnrn63 are you just trying to be "mean" by leading our impaired members astray? dontcha just know that the little snowflakes as cute as they are, are gonna take that krazyglue and get it on their fingers - which will go right up their noses (where those fingers are when snowflakes have to think hard), and then guess what?!?! they will be unable to drive to work, and unable to call in either.
    or they could be like me. i use it all the time on the nasty finger cracks i get. one day i put some on when i was sitting at the desk. i turned to talk to one of the docs, and he said "do you know you just put your finger on your cheek after you used that krazyglue?" when i took my finger away, i pulled off a chunk of skin on my cheek, and my face started bleeding. i had to walk around for about an hour with a piece of tissue on my face. then my patients said to me "do you know you have something on your face?"

    this special snowflake is much more careful about where she puts her fingers after she uses glue.

    there are so many nurses out there who just don't give a damn about their looks, makeup hasn't killed anyone, it is designed to be used. that's what makes us feminine. anyone can find 5 -10 minutes for themselves . you don't have to look like rainbow, use nude, neutral colors. this bothers me the most: nurses who wear super tight scrubs, first i can see your thongs/ underwear a mile away, second i can see your cellulites, 3r buy better scrubs!
    ​if you think femininity is defined by wearing makeup, then there's no point in further discussion.

    hear, hear. seriously, the stuff is filthy ... and i should put it on my face every day??? yuck!

    the point being that clean, reasonably groomed and non-obtrusive is the key ... plenty of room for personal style otherwise.

    Is your use of "snowflake" in terms of a racial slur?
  5. I promised myself I wouldn't respond to this thread, but I just couldn't resist.

    I brush my teeth, shower, use deodorant, comb my hair, and wear clean, ironed, properly-fitting scrubs. I guess none of this matters, though. I'll never look as professional as you, I must not care about my appearance as much as you care about yours, and I most certainly am not feminine all because I don't wear makeup. Damn! All my efforts are wasted! :icon_roll

    I also hate tattoos. I will probably get beat up for saying this, but they are just trashy and ugly and I don't know why anyone wants to get them. There. Let the beatings begin.
    Yay for me! I'm soooo trashy!

    Aw, hell. I don't know why I even got into this one. It's always the same thing. I won't bother to go into the whole "Tattoos don't make me trashy and unprofessional, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." It would just be beating a poor, dead, badly decomposed horse at this point.

  7. 3 questions:

    1. Did Dolly Parton die?

    2. What does irregardless mean, exactly? Is it the same as regardless? Or maybe the opposite?

    3. What is the difference between a g-string and a thong? And how do I not know this?

    Quote from RhiaRN75
    The scrubs were cute. Really. A pretty pale yellow and a good color for the skintone.

    They were the perfect size... for a five year old!! I cannot fully describe just how bad it was. I'll try... it's been on my mind for some time now and maybe I can finally purge the image from my memories.

    The girls were cemented into place and flattened to the extent that I had to wonder if circulation was impaired. No improper cleavage could show.... maybe if the short sleeves were not similarily constricting they may have peaked out from there to gasp for air, but they were allowed no such opportunity.

    The pants were very fashionable and, unfortunately, a better fit. Upon sitting, the top rode up in an valiant effort to provide for blood flow, and the pants had a low enough waist to have no hope of.... shall we say.... covering the slack.

    The rear view was likewise near indescribable. The thoracic area was tighter then the best made military bed. There was the appearance of a growth above the middle of the shoulderblades as the material fought bravely for a little repreive from the strain. Around the back waist area, there was what I initially believed to be the beginning of the fabric finally giving way but as the shift went on I realized it was the elastic gather- stretched in a manner sure to make a contortionist blush.


    I did my best not to look. I did amuse myself by watching the expressions on the faces of others, but that did not last for long as I was afraid I'd totally lose it. I. Did. Not. Say. A. Word. I eventually avoided eye contact with everyone for the entire shift. At one point I sat down to check something on the computer, glanced over, and didn't make that mistake again. I cleaned, I stocked, I reorganized the rooms.... anything to keep me busy and out of the line of fire. There was no possible way I could address the issue in a manner that could have led to anything close a good outcome or resolution of the situation.


    A few nights later, we had a slow moment and someone tried to bring up the subject. "Hey Rhia, do you like yellow?" No, I do not. Yellow is for caution, and that is all I'll say or hear of that situation. "Awww.... c'mon, didn't you notice..." Nope, I interrupted.... and I'll say STEMI and QUIET five times in a row every fifteen minutes if you persist with this line of questioning. Another said "Now, it couldn't have been that bad!" I sighed. I took a deep breath.
    STEM.....
    "Ok, ok, that bad. We'll behave."

    It's been a long time. I am still afraid I'll go to work one day and see those scrubs again.

    here's the answer to your first question from the the lady herself....

    dolly parton: i'm still not dead singer fed up of rumors of her passing.

    regarding the other two questions, i'm afraid i can't help you with those
