   Shotty replied to DamoniqueSRNA's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a new grad in Houston. I know its about 4 hours away from Dallas, but you can try Triumph Healthcare. That's the only place I found hiring new grads, and they still are. Look it up. Don't know if there's one up there.

   Shotty replied to Shotty's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Shotty replied to Shotty's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks everyone. I've decided to go shopping for a few hours and actually try on many of the suggestions. Don't like shopping very much but will have to because I don't want my feet to distract me from my patients/clients care. If I become uncomforta...

   Shotty replied to Shotty's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thanks, thats great to know. I went a little earlier to a finish line, champs, and foot locker, but the employees there seem to dismiss my inquiry about comfortable shoes and begin telling me "these are the 2010 model" of whatever they are trying to...
