   4thGenNurse replied to sarahbellum's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I love my Vibrams! You get use to the stares, usually people are just curious and want to know what they are and where to get them. I usually forget that I have them on after a while. I have always preferred to be barefoot so these shoes are perfect....

3. Vent - Uniforms!!

   4thGenNurse replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

   Wow, our scrubs consist of pleated white pants, white cotton scrub top (that is still too big even at a small) and a blue vest. That's right, I said vest. If you added a hair net, I would look exactly like a lunch lady. I wished for regular scrubs bu...

4. How long did you have to wait?

   4thGenNurse replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

   4thGenNurse replied to 4thGenNurse's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Thank you so much:D. I thought that is what I had to do but I just wasn't sure about it. I'm just nervous about finding a job after I get my LPN. I know about the only place I can find work is in a doctor's office or an LTC facility. Which isn't bad,...

8. All I do is study and it doesn't get me anywhere!

   4thGenNurse replied to 4thGenNurse's topic in General Students

    4thGenNurse replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Students

    I literally had nightmares the night before the final about CBC values, if that is not the dumbest thing then I don't know what is! After the final, I felt bad about going grocery shopping because I kept thinking that I had homework that still needed...
