  6. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Tina, RN replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've never been one for the cutesy-cartoon printed scrubs. The "wildest" scrub top I ever wore was soooo cool. It was covered with pics of candy bars! Hersheys, Kit Kats, etc. I can't remember where I...

    Tina, RN replied to trvldrmr's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not certain, but I *think* you need to be employed as a CM for 2 years in order to sit for the exam. That's what I needed to do. You should contact the CCMC to check it out. Best
