  1. Uniforms in Vancouver?

    Joeknee posted a topic in International Nursing

    I'm wondering where you all buy your uniforms. I love the cut and weight of Deauville scrub sets (11344) and have been buying them at Images near VGH and the Sears at Metrotown (when they're on sale )...

  8. I guess I'm a florist now too....

    Joeknee replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    I would've been so tempted to say: "Sure, if you'll give an enema to the patient in room 22 for me..." The visitors where I work are generally very well behaved, but when people do this sort of...

  9. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    Joeknee replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Joeknee replied to leisa22's topic in General Nursing

    Joeknee replied to RNsweetie's topic in General Nursing
