Well, being from MI, all you see for like 4-6 months a year is gray sky and snow. When my husband told me Uncle Sam was moving us to CA, I envisioned sunny skies and relaxing on the beach. Has it been aweful! It's been cold, rainy, and definitely ...
I haven't been on in a while.... lots of stuff going on: husband deployed, returned and then moved me across the country. Now we are in "sunny" north SF Bay area, and, um... loving? it. Anywho, there were 12 hour shifts up the whazoo in MI, but I c...
my husband is military. we are doing our first move from michigan to northern california. i heard through the grapevine that you need to re-test in california. i couldn't imagine not nursing, but we will only be there for 6 months. so, if that's...
Cherokee brand (not cherokee workwear) makes a great flare leg pant (with the stylish slit at the ankle). We have to wear Navy and white, so I'm a white scrub pro. You can't see through them or anything.

I am shocked. I am 5'3" and wear cherokee scrubs. I have to buy the regular length because the petites are WAAAY to short, even for me. But, the regular lengths go completely over my shoes and drag on the ground (really not all that professional)....

There will always be someone around you don't like. There will always be someone who got their job, and you didn't think it was fair. There will always be someone who does things differently, non-traditionally, or in a different way than everyone e...
I just meant "girlfriend" as a female friend. I know you want to find some way to let this person know she's been influential in your nsg journey. Why not tell her? I bet she would love that sort of encouragement right now. Maybe you and your cla...

I work evenings 5 days per week. One thing to consider which may or may not affect you is this. I get off at 11:30pm. By the time I wind down it's 1-1:30. Sometimes later. I don't see my hubby much, either. It's also difficult if you are used t...
