   @Tuckella DePaul wears navy blue scrubs lol . I am sure there are reasons for why they choose certain lab colors. I actually volunteer with a nurse who is a Rush MENP graduate; and she really enjoyed that school too! Today I asked her why she choose...

    I am 25-and was also intimidated by people in my group being much older/years of career experience; but I think they look at many factors when accepting applicants. Everyone in my group was also so nice & I wish we all could be accepted. I also h...
