   iamalagirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   One of my preceptor was from the Hell... She was taking classes to be an educator. I feel so sorry for her future students. It seemed like she wanted to be an educator so that she could belittle new nurses in front of patients and doctors. She yelled...

   Thank you for your advice! Yes, I should go to a real shop, not Victoria's. I usually buy bras from Victoria's and even though the shop girl measured me, the straps are falling down... I will look for real shops in my area. Thank you again!

10. Best bra for nurses

    iamalagirl replied to iamalagirl's topic in Uniform/Gear
