  1. How many uniforms should I buy?

    cmonkey replied to Rnstudent2011's topic in General Students

    Wow, I'm surprised at all the "they're expensive" responses. I just went to Savers and picked up a few tops and pants. But we only have to have ciel scrubs (no flares) and a lab coat. No particular...

    cmonkey replied to Mkb623's topic in General Students

    cmonkey replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

  9. How do nurse clinical usually work?

    cmonkey replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    cmonkey replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

  21. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Nursing

    cmonkey replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm already training myself to put my wallet, keys, phone, and shades in the SAME PLACE when I walk in the door. I'm the worst at being able to find critical items. With the kids, at least, they...
