  5. Low census--what do you do?

    blondy2061h replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

    blondy2061h replied to jessicarnorot's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

  11. Wearing scrubs to the interview.

    blondy2061h replied to mr cooper's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's a tricky one. I think given they told you to wear scrubs I would go and buy a brand new pair, solid color- maybe blue? Make sure they're immaculately pressed and fit well. May sure your shows...
