1. MICN Certification in Los Angeles County

   SgtWyatt posted a topic in Emergency

   I'm hoping someone on the forum will be able to help me out. I am interested in becoming an MICN but don't currently work for a Base Hospital. I do technically meet the eligibility requirements according to LA County Reference 1010 (confirmed by an...

2. Fix me NOW (but on my terms or I'll leave AMA)

   SgtWyatt replied to HikingEDRN's topic in Emergency

   A few days ago, "I have chest pain." We do the whole nine yards: Serial EKGs, labs, chest xray, nitro, morphine, etc. Everything come back negative. The patient is quiet, yet every time he sees me the moaning and clutching of the chest starts agai...

3. Know How to Improvise a Tourniquet

   SgtWyatt replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Emergency

   I know this is kind of an old thread by now but I wanted to share my experience in the ED the other night. Had a patient brought in by ambulance from a dialysis center for a bleeding AV fistula (forearm placement). There was a gauze pressure dressing...

4. what are the best mens scrubs you have found?

   SgtWyatt replied to Buckyxj's topic in Men

   DaddyO: I know! I've searched all over and it doesn't seem like anyone makes a crew-neck scrub top for men. In the meantime I'll just keep wearing undershirts beneath my scrubs (another reason why I didn't become an OR nurse!)

5. Help me find the best scrub brand for me (male)

   SgtWyatt replied to Nolander's topic in Men

   I've recently started wearing IguanaMed scrubs. They are an athletic fit so you might have to go up a size but when you do they should fit ok since they're cut slimmer than the other brands. Lots of compliments on them. I used to wear Dickies and ...

6. what are the best mens scrubs you have found?

   SgtWyatt replied to Buckyxj's topic in Men

   Erick, Yeah, I know what you mean about the fashion + pockets thing. I also have a pair of Dickies which actually look pretty nice (they're a softer material than the usual Dickies I've seen) and have lots of pockets. I just happen to like the fit ...

7. what are the best mens scrubs you have found?

   SgtWyatt replied to Buckyxj's topic in Men

   A few months ago I started buying all my scrubs from Murse World: The Men's Scrubs Store | Murse World. If you go there you can search for the Koi, Med Couture, and Iguana scrubs I was talking about. These are the three that I personally like the ...

8. what are the best mens scrubs you have found?

   SgtWyatt replied to Buckyxj's topic in Men

   I've tried several kinds. I'm 5'8", 150 pounds, so pretty close to your build. I've tried Aviators and frankly didn't really like them once I got 'em. The pleating on the front of the pants makes it almost have a parachute type appearance in my mi...

9. Slim-Fit Men's Scrubs?

   SgtWyatt replied to PatrickRN's topic in Men

   I know what you mean. It's really hard to fine men's scrubs that fit well! I haven't worn WonderWink but I am about your build and really like how the Dickies Youtility scrubs fit me. I wear a Medium. This is what they look like: Dickies Men's Gener...

10. murseworld.com for men's scrubs?

    SgtWyatt replied to SgtWyatt's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I just got an email from these folks with a $5 off $75 coupon so I thought I'd share it with you guys. The code is JANUARYTAKE5 and it expires 1/31/12. I don't need it since I already bought some stuff but if anyone finds it useful be my guest.

11. murseworld.com for men's scrubs?

    SgtWyatt posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    I don't know what happened but I guess during the redesign my post was lost? Anyway, I had posted asking if anyone had ever shopped at http://www.murseworld.com for scrubs before but I just wanted to update the forum to say that I decided to try the...

    SgtWyatt replied to finalscore3b1g's topic in General Students

    I too just got accepted to a nursing program for Spring 2011! I was called last week saying I was an alternate and yesterday morning I received another phone call saying that I was now officially accepted into the program to start Feb 7, 2011 at Los...

13. CSU Los Angeles School of Nursing (CSULA Fall 2010)

    SgtWyatt replied to matthewandrew's topic in California

    I applied to the RN/BSN program as a transfer student. Still haven't received any word though. I called the nursing department because CSULA wants me to pay a $100 non-refundable deposit by May 1 but I really don't want to shell out that money if I...

14. CSU Long Beach School of Nursing (Fall 2010)

    SgtWyatt replied to matthewandrew's topic in California

    I was told this morning that CSULB never has and never will accept Chemistry 10 from Santa Monica College despite the course description from what I took it matching the CHEM 140 course description. According to Monalisa (the Admissions Director), i...

15. CSU Long Beach School of Nursing (Fall 2010)

    SgtWyatt replied to matthewandrew's topic in California

    They didn't even give me an interview because my application was considered incomplete. They simply invited me to fix the deficiency and then reapply for the next term. I've been calling all morning to speak to the Admissions Coordinator who doesn'...
