    Joe N635DC replied to Dino's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  16. Do nursing students just get their names engraved?

    Joe N635DC replied to centralFLnurse2be's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You may be able to get away with putting RN after your name if you put a small sticker on it to cover it until such time as you have earned the title. I am considering this myself since I am buying a...

    Joe N635DC replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing
