I'm pretty quiet and reserved, a bit anal, anxious, and like things organized and in order. Based on my personality, you'd wouldn't think I'd necessarily be an ER person, but.. I work in a pediatric ER and love every second of it. So, you'd be surpr...

A friend is contemplating what to wear for a summer interview - I definitely subscribe to the "always wear a suit!" notion, but was wondering if a suit jacket/skirt would be too casual? It's been 90 degrees out lately here, and she is thinking someth...

I'm obsessed with the Scrubology pants. Soft as the Grey's but much more flattering IMO.

I'm from the New England area, also - I feel you! I started out in assisted living, then pediatric long-term care (lots of vents and trachs, etc.) and recently got a beyond-my-dream-job in the Pediatric ED at an amazing children's hospital. Took almo...

I have this same issue with my high instep. I bought a pair of the mary jane dansko's and LOVE them! So much more comfy :)

Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone has found any scrub bottoms similar to the old discontinued cherokee soft touch scrubs - my favorites! My few pairs are starting to fall apart, and I'm still on the hunt for replacements, or something close. (I've a...

Thanks! I'll try those first then. :)

I always order from medical scrubs collection, they always have a 20 or 25% coupon going

Address Town, State, October 15, 2013 Hospital Address Town, Zip Dear Nurse Recruiter, I am extremely interested in the [specific position] nurse position (job id #) recently listed on the [Company] website. [Hospital] is a world-class facility, ran...

Scrubology is the Work N Gear house brand that is a near exact GA replica. Still super soft and comfy!

I work 3-11, but I pick up 11-7's quite often (to make a double). My two keys to staying awake are: 1. caffeine, and 2. keeping as busy as possible. My typical sleep schedule is about 4a-1pm on a regular basis too, so that helps. Good luck! It most l...

Grey's Anatomy mock wrap or princess seam tops Grey's Anatomy junior fit cargo drawstring pants LOVED the Cherokee Touch drawstring pants, but sadly discontinued Now just wish GA had a wider color range!

Before nursing school, I wanted to do peds - was a popular choice among my classmates at the beginning, but the numbers dwindled considerably. L&D was by far the most popular specialty. Peds is still my thing - I love the kiddos, even the parents...

As a new grad in MA at an assisted living facility, $25.00/hr. Three years later, making the same at a pediatric nursing home. BSN.

I have "I love my job moments" quite frequently - I love finally working in peds! Getting the time/opportunity to snuggle the wee ones is the absolute best, though!

I'm 5'2", 135 lbs and I wear a size 4 in pants and tops, 34B bust and wear S in the junior-fit GA scrub pants and M in the tops (I like them loose). For you, I'd think you'd definitely want to try the XS.

I was just wondering if anyone has any information about the Critical Care Internships offered for new grads at Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children's? First priority is given to students who work there, do any external applicants ever get acce...

I have been applying online, then sending HR and/or the nurse manager a priority envelope with my cover letter, resume, references, and letters of recommendation. For the past year, I usually heard no response, or a few times they told me they hired ...

I applied online to my dream job on 1/18, the very same day the position was posted on the facility's website. The next day, I also faxed a copy to the HR office in the hopes of a paper copy maybe having a better chance of being seen. This past week,...

I almost applied there last year, but after reading all the terrible reviews/comments previously posted on this board, I decided against it. As on of my nurse preceptors once told me (repeatedly. like, every day): PROTECT YOUR LICENSE!

Nursing is amazing. I would never, could never do anything else. But nursing's not easy; you've got to love it.

I LOVE the Saunders. Wish I had bought it to use as study guide during nursing school! I used this book to study for NCLEX and passed with 75 questions.

Bear in mind that state schools aren't always less expensive. I was accepted to UMass-Amherst with a merit scholarship and that "free tuition" from the MCAS or whatever it was (which wasn't the huge deal that it was made out to be at the time, as tui...

We all bought Littmans in college, and I wouldn't use any other brand - I love mine. I'd say: - quality steth - comfortable shoes (I like Dansko) - retractable clip for name badge - scissors - sharpie (I used this a lot when I was on a floor doing l...
