    C-lion replied to colamom803's topic in Travel

    C-lion replied to LM NY's topic in Pediatric

    C-lion posted a topic in General Students

  10. ER vs Med/surg- someone wanna clue me in?

    C-lion replied to PAERRN20's topic in Emergency

  12. Decisions, decisions....What made you choose where you work?

    C-lion replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in General Nursing

    I chose my 1st job b/c it was a day shift, the people seemed friendly, and the building was clean and had lots of light. My new job I chose b/c it is close to my house, and b/c it will provide ample...

    C-lion replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

    As the first poster said, it is not unheard of for hospitals to schedule rotating shifts, but where I live it is very rare, most are straight nights or days. I would say put in some applications and...

  18. What brand of scrubs do you prefer?

    C-lion replied to kstrac13's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Well I just received my Blue Sky scrubs...my first impression is not good. I somehow did not realize they are 65% polyester. I am sure they withstand multiple washings, but I like softness against my...
