    Counselort posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm starting nursing school in the fall and we need navy scrubs that will fit a 41-33-47 figure. I have no problems with the pants, as I can get a large pair that fits the hips and pull the strings...

    Counselort replied to CASM's topic in General Students

  8. Questions Regarding the HESI

    Counselort replied to roxy1986's topic in General Students

  10. Teaching to NCLEX NOT teaching nursing

    Counselort posted a topic in General Students
