    The scrub jacket idea is cool but I'd suggest something in a solid color so that male nurses don't get left out with foofoo prints. Maybe a sweater/sweatshirt jacket. Maybe even a light outerwear...

  18. Asking pay rate before interview

    Hands and Heart replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    I know it is hard to not know the starting rate for a job in which you may be interested, but asking about pay rates prior to a job offer just seems a bit tacky. It will make the interviewer wonder...
