    There are several nurses in my family and everyone I know has recommended Littman to me. I was also told, though, not to spend a lot of money on one for school because of the likelihood of theft and...

    I believe I remember being told that you will be asked if you prefer morning, evening, or overnights and that they will TRY to accomodate the area you live in (i.e. by not putting someone from the...

    The link I posted says the scrubs can be purchased from the books store or from any uniform store, so I assume any brand is fine as long as they are navy? As far as patches, I think you can probably...
