I dont think the problem is that nurses wear thongs...heck, you could wear butt-less leather chaps under your scrubs for all I care! The problem is when you wear hot-pink whale thongs that ride up...

I heard this one from colleagues...On our department we have three isolation rooms down a hallway kinda out of site of the nurses station. Apparently one night right after diaper changes the patient...

Honestly, what worries me is that you are more scared of losing this job opportunity than finding out you have a health problem? If you ARE sick enough to not get the job, then you might not be...

Im gonna agree with New nurse syndrome :P When we are nursing student, with 2-3 patients at a time, we can and DO spend all the time we can giving all the care we should. I went through school...

Just to clarify, SHAVING might not be necessary, because as others have mentioned, it can be hard to see and reach. But a little trim can be done. It is blogs like this though that let you see how...

Ok, so I actually work in a L&D department. I dont think the nurse who wrote the article was trying to be mean-spirited. What she gave were suggestions. While we dont have to put our faces directly...
