    marilynmom replied to annceenrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    marilynmom replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

    Have there been any studies done showing that those wearing scrubs worn at work are making family members sick? I'm not talking about visably dirty scrubs worn home. I can't imagine our scrubs are as...

    marilynmom replied to cookiemonsterrn's topic in General Nursing

  9. How do you tell your co-worker you don't won't to be in their study group?

    marilynmom replied to nurse2b2007SC's topic in General Nursing

    Study groups don't generally help me much, usually people end up talking and joking around and no studying gets done. I have never had any problems when I just tell them I study better on my own....I...

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing
