2. What size scrub pants do you wear and what size jeans?

   wishfulthinking21059 replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I was SO wrong about what to get, I read great reviews on Urbane and was going to order 5 pairs of larges. I tried them on and I'm so glad I did. That style doesn't suit my shape, but somehow I'm a Medium..who knew! I would have gotten them a few day...

   Then again...I guess no one's going to be like... *points in disgust* "For the love of God, your pants are darker than your shirt" I'm ordering all dark colors though...except for the brown which might be noticable. Thanks everyone.

   I'm ordering off of Lydia's uniforms and I don't want to order Wine pants of one brand and have a Wine top in Cherokee and have it be two different shades. But Cherokee doesnt make the pants I like. Is it usually consistant? Sorry if this is in the ...

8. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

   wishfulthinking21059 replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

   Don't feel bad....you did the right thing. It doesn't mean you "ratted her out," it means you were looking out for the well-being of the patients, AKA doing your job! It doesn't mean you were intentionally trying to make a hard time for her--you had ...

9. Before you had ANY type of nursing training/education, did you know anything?

   wishfulthinking21059 replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in General Nursing

   My mom was a nurse but died way too young! How frusterating!! She was an LPN so I feel like I could have asked her SO many questions and would turn out a better nurse. I don't know what I was thinking...how could I possibly know anything really? It j...

13. How Does Training Usually Work?

    wishfulthinking21059 replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in General Nursing

    The job just fell upon my shoulders--otherwise I would have never even thought to apply but I couldn't turn down the opportunity for experience....I think I'm going to need the luck. I mean, I'm a "smart" person, but that alone is not going to be eno...

14. How Does Training Usually Work?

    wishfulthinking21059 posted a topic in General Nursing

    For a Nursing Tech (CNA with more duties??) at your workplace (my case is at an acute rehab hospital)..... Is it learning in books, then demonstration, then on your own? Are there tests involved? What about outside "class" work? Or is it observing, o...
