LPN bridge program

I think I might just get the patches, order some scrubs online, and have them sewn on at the dry cleaner. I read yelp reviews and it said the scrubs at that store were cheap quality and expensive.

Is that how the program does it? They just hand out the patches? Cuz then why bother tell us about a specific uniform store? In my experience most employers are contracted with a uniform store so they're made to order, usually the employer gives you some sort of code to type in online or when you call. So far it is unclear, probably just have to call or go in.

You have to buy the patches at that store separately from the scrubs. Then they'll sew them on whatever scrubs you buy.

I'll have to see, but from the reviews it didn't seem like they had a great selection/quality.

Hi alma I was wondering did your acceptance letter say anything about LPN bridge program? Or did it just say RN program? Thanks

I went to buy my scrubs today. They have a list of approved scrubs. They will only patch specific ones. They will not sell the patches separately.

Good to know about the scrubs/patches. I got my pen light and scissors on Amazon for like $10. I already had a stethoscope.

Oh so did you have to go in person to buy the scrubs?

Buy whatever stethoscope you want. I already have my own, it's a specialized stethoscope too. I will prob order the penlight and scissors from Amazon too.

The scrubs yes because they are the only ones with the patches of the school. Everything else no

I was talking to my friend, who's in the radiography program at MXC, and he said they had to order their scrubs/patches from Chicago Scrubs on Roosevelt. It makes no sense that we have to get ours out in Oak Lawn...

Also, did you all notice we aren't able to register for nursing 101 until the week of August 20th? What are we supposed to tell our jobs with less than a week notice before school starts?
