Hello. I am finding that I get very warm on the unit I work on and I like to stay cool. It also doesn't help that my job requires me to wear a short sleeved button up scrub top over my clothes as part of their dress code. We can wear street clothe...

Anyone tried this? I wanted to look into applying here and I'm curious as to others experience with this. I'm interested in the work environment and salaries is anyone has an idea! Thanks

Hello Everyone, So I have an interview with the county health department that I am very excited about as I have been wanting to get into a government agency. The job is home health registered nurse but mostly monitoring personal care assistants unde...

Thanks for the response Siwan, I think you are right and I may try posting there too! However I did go to the interview today and it went well so I can only keep my fingers crossed I hear back! I got more Information and it appears that it is mostl...

Hello All, I am on a hunt for my perfect wrist watch for nursing school and I cannot seem to find it. My *perfect* watch has all of the following criteria. I've looked through alot of the watch posts but cann't seem to find something with all of th...

Thanks for the thoughts guys! Like some of you, I ended up getting a paper calendar simply because we do get so many cancellations or no shows and lots of rescheduling. I figured it would be easier to see in a giant calendar than on my small phone.

I just accepted a psych home health position. What do you all use to plan all of your appointments with patients? I'm finding in psych there are a lot of cancelled visits and reschedules and no shows and at first I was going to use a calendar app o...

Very cool, let us know how you like the Linz shoes! I'm curious as to why the g500 were discontinued. The Linz looks exactly the same. I'm sure there is something different about them but that I just can't tell. I think you'll like them!

Hello, I am currently working as a psych nurse at an acute care facility but hoping to move into community/public health. I'm curious as to what your working environments are. Do you work in an office? Clinic? Alongside other nurses or do you work...

I wore Birkenstocks and also the "Klogs" brand in the "Naples" style which were amazingly comfy. The Klogs were my favorite though. Thick sole like danskos but soft, cushy, yet supportive.

I am also tall and I wore the Birkenstocks G500 as posted above. They were very comfy throughout nursing school. I also had a pair of the Klogs in the "Naples" style which is a thick sole and I have to say those were more cushy and heaven like when...

Sounds very interesting Klone! You sure do get to see and do alot it seems. How much experience did you position require of you or did you need any training one you were hired? I'm especially curious since you are the only RN in the clinic.

Thanks for the response Lacey! Your position sounds really great and exactly like something I would like to do! I currently applied for a HIV/aids nursing/case management PHN position which I really think I would enjoy doing as it involves alot of t...

Very cool Sunmoon. I like the idea if having some independence but not ring completely alone. I'm glad you really enjoy your job! It's encouraging to hear stories of nurses who enjoy their position. :)

Hi Tiffany. Do you mind sharing how you found your aesthetics nurse position? I'm not sure if I should just keep looking for postings or if I should call dermatologist offices. None of the dermatologist office websites have listings for RNs or eve...

I may be offered a per diem position that is only 8 shifts a month at a hospital I've really been wanting to work for! 6 months ago I took a job at a place I heard horrible things about, but took the job anyway for experience and to give it a try. ...

I work in a psych hospital and we can wear street clothes or any kind of scrubs which is pretty nice. But, all clinical staff have to wear a maroon button up scrub jacket/top over everything. So, when its warm, it's pretty annoying. Good thing my...

I don't know if you have a Rugged Wearhouse in you area but they are a discount clothing store and usually have a few racks with scrubs. They sell brand new scrubs, the value brands and also the name brands for 6.99 a piece.

In glad you liked the scrubs you ended up getting! I think I got the ruffle one too but I actually like it! The only problem is that it's a little frilly for my psych hospital where I try to draw less attention to myself. lol But the rest of them ...

Hello! So on the koihappiness.com website they have an offer where you can purchase between 1 and 5 Koi scrub tops for 9.99 each. The catch is, the top you get will be a surprise and there are no returns. Well, I love a surprise, and I'm probably...

Kgirl, if you end up purchasing any you'll have to tell me if you like the ones you end up receiving! Congrats on landing your first job! We are in the same boat. :)

Thanks Tiffy! I remember seeing this style and thought it looked see through so I didn't try it on, but after you suggested these I went to read some reviews and some people are saying alot of the prints are not see through once you put them on. So...

I got a cardiology iii for school ad I was really happy I got that. Never had a problem hearing things and I oftentimes felt like asking my classmates if they wanted to borrow mine so they could hear what I could. I tried to hold back though. lol ...

Is there a good way to disinfect scrubs in the washing machine after wearing them all day in a hospital? Not sure if it's necessary and I could be a little paranoid but I feel like just putting them in the washer isn't enough sometimes. Is this not...

Thanks sessa, ill just have to relax and do the best I can. If I saw a disinfecting laundry detergent in the store id probably still end up buying it though. lol
