    Marie_LPN, RN replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    It was a part of our "dress code" rule that our clothes not smell like smoke. Our instructors made it clear that it wouldn't be tolerated. (I know, i know, the OP did not say if that's written policy...

    Clogs while nursing

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Leselberry's topic in General Nursing

    I figure it this way: when my facility decides to buy my shoes for me, then they can be obsessive-compulsive about what i wear. That doesn't mean i'm going to wear flip-flops, but that does mean that...
