   What color are your scrubs?

   We wear Navy Blue at my hospital. The typical in California seems to be either Navy Blue or Ceil Blue.

   Scrub pants?

   TSgtRodrigues replied to RN_Sara's topic in Uniform/Gear

   While the Dickies say "Jr Fit" they fit like a women's & come in XXL & XXXL if necessary. The Xtreme stretch are soooo comfy!

   Scrub pants?

   TSgtRodrigues replied to RN_Sara's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Grey's Anatomy and Dickies Xtreme Stretch! Those are the only ones I have found that do not require me to pull them up all the time. They are the half drawstring/half elastic band! The all drawstring are the worst in my opinion!

   If you could wear any scrub?

   TSgtRodrigues replied to SC APRN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I love my Grey's Anatomy & the new Dickies Super Stretch! They are both a little pricey, but so incredibly worth it as they are super comfortable & last a long time.

   Attention tall nurses!!!

   TSgtRodrigues replied to Code Red's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I always buy Barco Brand, in the Long Length (I believe it's TL when selecting). I've never looked at the inseam, but they are always plenty long enough! I want to say it's at least a 34" inseam AFTER washing. I don't wear any other scrubs but Grey's...

    I am 6'1" (so I think in the tallest one posting here so far) and a size 10/12. I always buy Barco brand, more often than not Grey's Anatomy at that. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the softness of them, and the fact that they are definitely long enough. I either...

    TSgtRodrigues posted a topic in Emergency

    I know that this thread is all over the place, but there are none that have anything from this year, and since I had possibly my best & worst attempt today (yes, all in one day!) I thought I would start a new one. Best: Lady comes in and says th...

    TSgtRodrigues replied to jasonsgirl4eves's topic in General Students

    Well, considering that you are here calling them "stupid" I'd like to venture out and assume you are part of the problem, even if you don't realize it. Do you KNOW they hate you? Or do you just assume. Are you one who likes to just blurt out every si...

    Before you judge the addicted nurse.....

    TSgtRodrigues replied to michirn's topic in Recovery

    At least you don't think that you would have made the same choices. However, no one actually knows what choices they would have made until after they are out in that position...until after they are in that much pain, until after they have already go...

    Taking CNA exam Friday? Need help and advice!

    TSgtRodrigues replied to ONCRN2017's topic in CNA/MA

    Did you learn how to take blood pressure manually? Or do you already know how? That is part of a CNA skill set. You have to make sure you can make a bed with a person in it! You have to make sure you give a bed bath properly as well. I really don't s...
