  2. Question about scrubs

    Try walmart, belk, target, dillards, etc. I don't know what is in your area, but any of these will have nude bras or cami's. Personally, I wear white cami's or a white t-shirt under all my white scrub tops. Also, good luck in your class.

    We get $25.00 gift certificate to either Walmart, the local mall, or a local grocery store. Our choice. 3 years ago, the ER docs all gave us a $50.00 gift certificate to Walmart. That was the only time they have done that.
  7. How embarassing (LONG)

    I am sooo sorry this happened to you. I just want to tell you a secret. I know I can't give medical advice but let me share something with you. When I was 15 I started having problems with my HR going up to 180-200s. I went to my PCP who accused me ...
  8. What doctors do that bugs you...

    I am an ER nurse just lurking on the OB tread, but I took orders from an Ortho doc the other night and he wrote for "complete bath with strict pericare daily". I asked why and he said it wasn't being done like he wanted. He then said he wanted all of...

  14. Chaperone or not during exam

    I don't think I would use the family as a chaperone. It will make them, patient, and me uncomfortable. What if the family claimed something inappropriate and they was the only witness? I see that being a really touchy subject. It is best to just have...
  15. Chaperone or not during exam

    Where I work, there is always a female assistant (either Tech or Rn) with all pelvics and rectals on females. It is for the pt's comfort and the Md's protection. In this day and age, you can't be too careful. The MD's (I work with all males) will do ...
