Thunderball

Ours are white, but last semester they changed it to a scrub style from the button top and pants for girls and the zip-up top and white pants for guys. If I wasn't a poor nursing student (and wouldn't be graduating in less than a year) I'd go buy the new style myself. It doesn't make you stand out as bad on the floor and for the guys you don't look like one of the men in white coming to take someone away anymore:D

Sorry, made a wrong assumption... Can't say I have a clue on that one at all.

Okay, had a break, called them and checked with them on orientation, and also to verify that plain white scrubs are okay if we don't get the uniforms in time for clinicals. She said orientation is just plain everyday clothes and that if you don't get your uniforms in time for clinicals plain white scrubs are okay, I prefer to hear if from the school not the store.

I was planning on calling the school next week (can't from work this week) to find out as I got my letter with 4 weeks to classes starting and then a week later (last Saturday) got another letter that says uniform must be from specific store and takes six weeks, already had scheduled part of Monday off to go order but the six weeks part worried me. The store said it would still be up to six weeks and that the school was okay with us just wearing white scrubs until we get the uniforms in. They told me I could have ordered in advance but to be honest I didn't have that much hope of getting in on my first try to spend extra money without knowing. But that has had me worrying about the orientation and what am I supposed to do as well. If I get a lunch (snack break even) today where I can call I may try and see. By the way I'll assume congratulations, see you May 9th:D

The Parade insert in the Sunday Birmingham News had a 27 or 28 yr old male RN in Birmingham making $76,000 I think it was. I want to know what you need to do to get to that pay ($30+ and hour) in so short a time (5-7 yrs) instead of this $20 an hour stuff that seems so common. My question from this is does a 4 year bachelors make any difference compared to a 2 year associates when it comes to pay in AL (or elsewhere for that matter)?

I'm a 29yr old guy, I'll be starting my BSN at the UAB SON on May 9th.
