   RNPQT posted a topic in Montana

2. Whites or Colored scrubs?

   RNPQT replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

   The only thing that I think should not be worn is denim. The hospital where I work has "Casual Fridays", where employees can wear blue jeans. I can't stand it--I think it looks really unprofessional in the hospital. Plus, there's always those who ...

   Hi! I'm interested in your autobiography and ministry. Do you receive PM's? I forget how to check. I have a friend who is considering a nursing career who may be very interested in it too, and would like to share the info. Lol

7. NICU/PICU acceptable?

   RNPQT replied to newbeginnings07's topic in SRNA

   Of course, that is not to say that your NICU experience is a waste, either! Because you will spend time around peds and L&D as a student, so you may be less intimidated than many other SNAs and more familiar with the drugs and dosages! Blessing...

   RNPQT replied to newbeginnings07's topic in SRNA
