    beautsbelle posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hello everyone, The hospital where I work has chosen to have their nurses wear white scrub tops and Navy bottoms. I love the look, very crisp and easy to identify nurses vs CNA's or housekeeping....

  3. White scrub top cami question

    beautsbelle replied to beautsbelle's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks! I will try that. I do usually wear skin colored bras, but you can see my pants at my waist through the white top, and I am a bit on the modest side, and you can see my belly button and I...

    beautsbelle replied to Scrubz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Do be careful with it. Mine is missing and I miss it SO much! I had my name engraved on it, so I hope it just was borrowed and will turn up soon. If not, I will have to get another one as the sound...

    beautsbelle replied to aliciarae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    beautsbelle replied to Tolstoym1's topic in General Nursing

    beautsbelle replied to melisgood's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I passed with 75 and thought for sure I failed BIG TIME. I got a bunch of SATA, so I sort of thought maybe I was doing OK. I tried the 'trick' about an hour later, and I couldn't get to the credit...

  9. does HR works on saturdays?

    beautsbelle replied to spongebob6286's topic in First Year After Licensure

    beautsbelle replied to luvmyguys's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. looking for a job: applying online or go to HR???

    beautsbelle replied to catburger's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think they will wonder. A license is a license. I would just say that you took some time to study and such. I don't think there is any way they can find out how many times you took the...

    beautsbelle replied to oramar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    beautsbelle replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing
