  8. does anyone get to wear fun scrubs

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to S5777's topic in General Nursing

    I do think it's better for facilities to color-code staff. I like a combo of navy and white for RNs. When I worked med-surg, nurses were mandated to all white. It's very hard to find white tops that...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I remember years ago, cleaning BM out of the fingernails of a demented pt. She kept yelling "Fat B#$%^" at me the whole time. I guess she was too demented to realize that she had about 150 lbs on me,...
