    Do-over replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Do-over replied to newlpn_chic's topic in General Nursing

    For me, the most important thing is to dry my hands COMPLETELY every time I wash them (which gets tedious, but it also saves frustration when I put on gloves =)). I also use Eucerin's original...

    Do-over replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    question on stethoscope

    Do-over replied to mkach's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would start with a cheapie and see how you hear with that first - if it doesn't work you aren't out a lot of money. I was fine with my $9 stethoscope until I got an upgrade for my birthday. The...
