    Tell me it gets better! Thinking of going to the floor

    NurseSnarky replied to RNBeachGirl's topic in Operating Room

    NurseSnarky replied to fedupnurse's topic in PACU

    Favorite cargo pants/scrub tops/carrier??

    NurseSnarky replied to Agnes Anne's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Scrub sizes in Recovery Room

    NurseSnarky replied to janedf's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
