   TNcanNURSE replied to Kenshisandesu's topic in International

   Super, super skinny with their shirt almost always tucked tightly in to their drawstring pants. I never ever, never ever tuck my shirt in when I wear scrubs. Most of the people I know look more like they are in their pajamas when they wear scrubs; ...

   TNcanNURSE replied to Kenshisandesu's topic in General Nursing

   Your English seems to be coming along nicely. No doubt, if we were to try to learn Japanese and post our messages in that language they would be awkward for you to read. 26 is young. You have plenty of time to work as a nurse in Australia or the ...

5. What should I bring to clinicals?

   TNcanNURSE replied to Mrs.Yost's topic in General Students

11. "Nurse Appreciation Week" gifts from employer

    TNcanNURSE replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

    Sort of ironic banner, eh? For nurses week we were given the honor of wearing our pajamas to work on Friday. Too bad I didn't have to work Friday, I missed it. Our gifts: one free nursing home meal. Yum Yum eat 'em up! ; a lunch bag with "tog...
