I am built like that too as well as short so I have a problem with the crotch hanging too low too. I just bought some Dansko scrubs and love them- not too tight, not too loose, and the petites don't have to be hemmed!

I love the Dansko scrubs. I am a 14 but petite (5') The petite pant fit without having to be hemmed and the top is a roomy fit without being boxy or too loose. I get hot a work and these are lightweight and move with you. Pants have two cargo poc...

I have tried many different shoes and I am stuck on the Danskos. The thing to remember about them is that they are clogs even though they have the enclosed heel so you need to fit them like clogs and not running shoes. I have a high arch and plant...

I am a new grad as of May 2011 and was fortunate to get hired on at FMC for acutes. Starting pay is $27.50 which seems to be higher than my fellow new grads are making in the hospitals. The benefits are acceptable and there is a choice of two insur...

If you have prerequisite classes, you can take some while you still are working full or part time. Many of the classes may be available as online classes which work out great for someone in your position but you have to be organized and dedicated. ...
So the book was delivered today. This is different than any of the other NCLEX books I have as there are no questions. This book seems to be a content study guide. It narrows down important information from each body system along with disease s&am...
