your first....

set of scrubs. How did you feel when you first started your schooling/career and bought your first set of scrubs?

I bought mine a few days ago. I felt important! I felt giddy and excited! Yea, I know, I'm a weirdo. But I am an excited weirdo! :lol2:

So spill it, how did you feel?

And why did I never think of practicing my stethoscope on my dog? What a fabulous idea!

I used my guy friend. He was such a good sport. :)

misslo, thank you for the website. Totally,bruteally, honest. You have broken a pattern with a spirit in your heart, that sounded like it felt bad to you.

Trust me, your new found spirit will carry you on into a most compassionate nurse. We need more of you!!

Congrats!:balloons:

Thank you Sharona. I can't wait to hop over to your side of life (nursing).

Just be careful TiggerBelly, your dog will start running from you! I have three dogs that run from me, as do my kids and husband (oh come on, do you HAVE to listen to my heart/lungs/stomach sounds again???:uhoh3:)

Now I have moved on to the ferrets! They like to "play" with me!

Watch out for those ferrets! When I worked for a vet I remeber a nurse-ferret owner bringing her furbaby in for surgery to have Litmann stethoscope eartips removed from his belly... twice!

Back on topic, yeah... I remember my first shift as an aide, walking in wearing my brand-new white economy uniform pants and sale-rack top and the housekeepers seeing us and laughing. "Look how white those uniforms are! You girls must be new!"

back to the same ole whites, not so white anymore, as evidenced by the bright white spot where my patch used to be.

poor thing, you've spent too much time writing care plans, haven't you!

They have their own room, so no fear of eating the steth! (used to run a rescue)

But anywho, listening to their heart has proven interesting!

After 1-1/2 years of nursing school, I just got my first set of "real" scrubs for Christmas! I am ready to throw out those navy blue scrubs and wear something cute! Six months to go!:balloons:

:typing Oh my!

I just remembered my first scrubs.....I had spent so much time studying to enter to the nursing program that I gained more than 20 pounds!

I looked like a blue square in those scrubs! I am very happy to write now that I have already lost 10 of those (I bought new scrubs in a smaller size), and I am preparing to lose the other 10 or fifteen if I can!!

Brings back some serious memories. Your scrubs are now mamogramed? So lucky.:uhoh21:

LOL! I love nursing typos!

[scrubs, they are but a dream in Australia. We are still into uniforms, well the hospital administration is. In our hospital critical care and ED have managed to get scrubs, and of course OT has always had them. Our isolated paediatric ward has them as well, but no where else]

Yeah Australia really needs to catch up here. Scrubs are so comfy and i'm glad i get to wear them. I hate wearing a nursing uniform

We don't have to buy them at my HCF. The hospital supplies them, washes them etc for us. They aren't that bad, they are navy blue.
