    I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    DolceVita replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Very few people do not judge, in part, on presentation. Those that say they don't judge others on how they look are unlikely to rank very high on self awareness or self honesty or both. One may...

    Eek! I dislocated my patella...can I start nursing school in the fall?

    DolceVita replied to ILstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    I started nursing school with a terrible bum knee having had a lot of work done arthroscopically. It was painful for months and I couldn't actually kneel at all. I happen to teach CPR and had been...

    I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    DolceVita replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Interestingly enough from a patient's perspective I have heard them say that some of these tops look like "beachwear" or "casual tops you'd see with jeans" -- from the above links. I feel the same...

    Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    DolceVita replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is funny when people say that their wife or girlfriend thinks it looks nice/sexy and use that as the reason they don't cover it at work. My man loves my cleavage but I don't display that...

    DolceVita replied to SnowbirdinFL's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am sorry this happened to you and glad you filed a report. I don't know what your expectations are for the facility's reaction. It is a pity that others have not submitted a written report when...

    DolceVita replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    People can wear what they want but don't come a crying when people don't take us seriously. Perhaps it is because I worked in a different profession before nursing but I am not the only one who takes...

    Absolutely ridiculous

    DolceVita replied to blue cna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You may not like this but...If this is the only place that, geographically, you can work in you will find that adjustment is necessary. The only person you have complete control over is yourself....

    Senior RN Student w/ Jealous Husband!!!

    DolceVita replied to mommalumps's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know you mean well but I think you missed the bit about the husband being physically abusive -- that alone tells us what he is made of. He has much more going on than insecurities and immaturity....

    Senior RN Student w/ Jealous Husband!!!

    DolceVita replied to mommalumps's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't have time to read all of the responses. 1st of all I would lie to your hubby and tell him you have to register now for the NCLEX and get some cashiers checks for what you need (make sure the...

    Learning from a computer chart vs. a written chart.

    DolceVita replied to dudette10's topic in General Students

    Sounds a little hysterical to me. The idea being is that their electronic footprint will show they accessed a chart of someone not in their direct care (probably). Although why you, as a student...

    "Not a good fit" - or what?!

    DolceVita replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep I like that one. If you don't like that dig up all positive things about the unit to which you are applying -- then choose one. Essentially use a looking forward answer rather than looking

    DolceVita replied to onlyjesus22's topic in General Students

    Isn't it great -- especially when you have a patient on over 20 meds including PRNs. I like the Mosby's drug

    HELP!! I need guidance I saw someone cheating

    DolceVita replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    I think suggesting someone might want to consider retaliation is one thing but to tell them not to be a "snitch" isn't really OK. They are not the one who did something wrong. @nrice28 I sat next to...
