  1. Our physical therapists wear scrub pants with tee-shirts and they look so comfy! I don't like scrub tops at all either. NRG by barco was the most tee-shirt like fabric I could find. I rely on my pockets way too much! I couldn't give up my scrub tops ...
  2. Go on the Conn. board of nursing website and see what they require. I transferred my license several times and I needed a passport type picture, FBI fingerprinting, obviously a check for whatever amount I had to pay, an application, and some kind of ...
  3. WHEN TO SIGN UP FOR NCLEX and Kaplan HELP

    Take kaplan the week after you graduate, then give yourself a week to finish the practice questions after the class ends and take the NCLEX right away. I really think that's the best way to go. The longer you wait the more you'll lose it. I did it th...
  4. New Grad...ambulatory oncology clinic?

    I would go for the hospital as a first job for a new grad.
  5. I didn't realize nursing degrees and teaching degrees were interchangeable...they are very different career paths.
  6. all the hospitals i applied to required sealed envelopes signed over the seal by the instructor. so i couldn't just make copies. If i were you i'd get about 5 or 6 from each instructor because that's all you might need. you bring them with you to the...
  7. Nurse Quacktitioner Doll

    I find these much more offensive: 3WISHES.COM - Buy Nurse Costume, Sexy Nurse Costume, Naughty Nurse Costumes for Women, Nurse Lingerie, Nurse Outfits, Sexy Nurse Halloween Costumes for Adults, Outfit Nurses Uniforms it's really terrible how nursing...
  8. REALLY bad hair day

    sounds like a huge dread to me!
  9. I use bigwords.com because they compare prices across all the websites, and many of them pay for shipping. so easy, and i've gotten a lot of money back by using their services. I made over 200 with one semester of textbooks, which I bought used origi...
  10. tired of the board of nursing in MD

    I've had insane difficulties with the maryland board of nursing. I spent an entire day calling every number on their website under "contact info" and not one person answered the phone. I left voicemails and sent emails. Never heard back. I am going t...
  11. Northern VA--25.71 per hour with $4 night differentials and a raise after 90 days on the job.
  12. What are the smallest brand scrubs?

    i found that Peaches scrub pants run slightly smaller, but they are still baggy in the thigh and through the leg on me. But fit me better than Grey's, Koi, Izzy, Dickies, Urbane...and let me think...Cherokee, Fundamentals, Landau...yes I have tried o...
  13. I graduated in May, took the NCLEX in June, and got a job offer in August. It was my one and only interview/offer, and the job starts in September. It's on a medical unit. I filled out over 20 job applications. I'm thrilled that I got a job but prett...
  14. Scrubshopper

    I ordered from them and never got an email confirmation, never got any kind of message that I did actually ORDER something. However, when I checked on my debit card balance, the money had been taken off my card :-/ every time I call, "all representat...
  15. Hello fellow nurses, I am starting a new job and need to buy navy bottoms for my uniform. I am 95 lbs and 5ft tall. I usually wear a 0 short in pants and a small or extra small in tops. In nursing school I wore cherokee xxs petite scrubs that were wa...
  16. Virginia Hospital Center's reputation?

    what is the dress code at VHC? I know the nurses wear colors based on the unit, but do you have to wear scrubs or could you wear regular cut/styled pants in that specific color?
  17. Grandma who believes if one tylenol PM is good, then two, three or four of them must be better!
  18. BSN to D.O. or M.D.

    I believe that being a doctor and being a nurse are two completely separate career paths. Maybe being a nurse would be helpful, but only in terms of being comfortable in a hospital setting. I feel that people choose to be a nurse and choose to be a d...
  19. Is anyone going to a nursing school in maryland?

    I suggest browsing a site like amazon to find books including Peterson's Nursing Programs 2008 or The National League for Nursing's Official Guide to Undergraduate and Graduate Nursing Programs I bought a book like this when I was looking at programs...
  20. Which would you choose IF you had to?

    They (meaning any of those hospitals) probably won't even talk to you about this until you're a senior (of a four year program) or maybe junior year if you want to start an externship before you work there full time. Things change so much over the y...
  21. If you weren't a nurse what other job would you like to do?

    I would be a PT/OT or a nutritionist. My original career was going to be graphic design because I won awards for it in high school but I wanted to take a more stable career path so I chose nursing for college and here I am.
  22. Hey, I'm currently a student at NYU college of nursing. I also got into Georgetown and Michigan among other good schools, but eventually chose New York because, well, it's NEW YORK! The study abroad program is amazing. BC has a pretty slum nursing pr...
  23. Hi! I'm new to this site. I came across it doing google searches on the navy nurse candidate program. I have been thinking of the program ever since a recruiter came to my school (NYU college of nursing) a few weeks ago. My mom is very apprehensive, ...
  24. summer volunteer??

    The camp I work at does not have international nursing students in the medical center because the practices are different across the world. However many disabilities camps need volunteers to help teach and assist the disabled with their daily needs. ...
  25. crocs

    I swear by shoebuy! I wanted green and I also didn't like the lime green, but I purchased the kelly green cayman crocs off of shoebuy for only $23 using a coupon code. (Because I couldn't find kelly green in stores and I live in NYC!) With free shipp...
