    Poi Dog replied to Chixie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Poi Dog replied to mommywithplenty's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have long thick hair and just went through an entire shift using a spin pin. Voila! One pin did the job of a hair tie plus a zillion bobby pins and 1/2 can of hair spray.
