I do have tats but they can all be covered by a normal pair of scrubs (crept my ring). Do you know if they make a dri-fit style of scrubs? I thought I saw some advertised somewhere but wasn't sure if it was the same material make up. I'll certainly invest in the under shirts though. Right now I just wear a cutoff cotton one which gets toasty after moving around for a while.

Wow man. Of course I'm concerned about patient care. This was a simple question from someone new to the healthcare world. It's much different in regards to attire and accessories then what I was in previously and was looking to, what I thought, was a message board for nurses to help others out.

So I'm a brand new grad about to start nights in the ER. Obviously I'm excited about my new career and want to succeed with as much ease as is realistic. My question for you all is what kind of swag should I look to pick up. I know the basics (good shoes, scrubs, stethoscope, etc) but what are some things that I might not be thinking if that I might want. Also is there any place that sells male oriented nursing products? There are tons of female esque products out there but very few male. Thanks!

So I take my test in a couple weeks and over the past month at least once a day I feel myself get nervous about it. Maybe I'm looking for comfort or guidance or something. But in school I was a great student. I graduated with a fantastic gpa and did awesome on tests. My problem is that in going into tests in school I was confident about the material and confident about what would be asked of me. I don't have that feeling with the nclex. I went through the live kaplan review course that our school provided. I'm working through the content videos and the qbank questions. I've been getting qbank tests between 46-56% and the trainer tests have been high 50s. I'm doing the Nclex mastery app as well and have a 60% average on that. My classmates have all passed so far and as far as I know, no one has gotten more than 75 questions. What at can I do to calm my nerves and be more confident about the material and know that I'm ready to take and ace this thing.
