    mauxtav8r replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    mauxtav8r posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  8. Outdated (but not old) monogrammed scrubs

    mauxtav8r replied to mauxtav8r's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'll give that a try. I have been unsuccessful in removing any of the embroidery. It is in a smallish font and was done at the Landau store, so it's very tight. Also, the very long school name is on...

  23. Myths in Healthcare

    mauxtav8r replied to advocateforsafety's topic in General Nursing
