  16. I need two people to respond to this question about nurses and attire.

    OutlawNurse86 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I can't stand the starch whites. I also don't like colored print scrubs with all the cutesy drawings. They just don't look too professional in my opinion. I prefer to wear my Navy blue

    OutlawNurse86 replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Students
