  2. Have you ever worn scrubs off the job?

    I have an at home set. It is sooo hard for me to find pants that are long enought and fit right and the scrubs fit like a glove so I got a set for home like on the weekends and stuff not for going out. And as for work scrubs I would prefer to put the...

    I do not have any horror stories to share just yet... But next week I start clinicals at a local NH/rehab. And I must say I am using this more for education then humor. I like to know what I am getting into. Well now I know. But I must say my favorit...

    About the only thing I don't like about my uniform for class is the patch. It is huge, they should just put a sign on my back that says look at me I am a greenhorn! Plus we have our badges. But I cannot wait to get my scrubs. I got to have navy blue ...

  11. Confess! Whats the craziest force of habit you've done in the "Real World"

  12. Trying to avoid undesirable CNA duties

    This is where I am having trouble personally. The only reason I don't want to move up in the nursing field is because CNAs have the most interaction with the pts. And that is the one thing I am looking foward to the most. CNAs are so underpaid. I hav...

    That is a good one for needing to know. I am going to be doing my clinicals next week at a nursing home.

    And that is where I start to take it personal. Most people know going into CNA class that you have scut work. I knew this at least and so do most of my class mates. We are from all walks of life and the large majority are not there for the paycheck. ...
  15. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Sad to say when I was a teen I did just that. That was when I learned flying is not fun and there is no way to hide that power surg from your parents. And that is 2 minutes of my life I will never completely remember. I got one too. NEVER NEVER Thing...
