  11. Aviator Scrubs

    Quality is as good as it gets, well worth the $$. As for the zipper fly, pointless, they don't go all the way up--you still need to pull them down to go;). I paid the extra for the zipper and wish I...

    I think I have them both beat.:uhoh21: I have been refered to as the big hairy man nurse so much I am starting to like it.
  13. How do you go about handling a rude Dr.

    I like my way of dealing with that type, I just give them a look like I'm going to rip his freaking head off. But then again I'm a 6'1", 230lb, big hairy man nurse:devil:. They don't need to know I...

  20. NP NO Masters

    I'm not so sure it is that she doesn't WANT clinicals as much as it is finding a way to do it and still LIVE. I myself am in this same situation. I would like to continue with my education but I...
  21. Question for LPN's in Excelsior program

    I did just that, LPN first then RN through EC. The EC program is easy if you are an LPN first anyway. Almost all of it you learn in the LPN program anyway. I worked at a hospital while I was an LPN...
