   They had us go try the uniform on to see what size we wore and they are making them, that's why they won't be ready until around mid-August. I was really hoping for drawstring pants, but no....they had to be elastic. ;-) The Med/Surg book scares me! ...

   I bought Landau Comfort shoes and they feel wonderful on my feet. I walked around the store with one on one foot and a Nursemate on the other and still loved the Landau. They aren't pretty, but they aren't terrible either. Honestly, if they were a li...

   I received my schedule today, woohoo! All that's left is the whole nursing program orientation in August, a uniform fitting this month, and to buy a stethoscope and penlight. I bought shoes and they are amazing! How's everyone else doing?
