I'd sell them on Ebay.

I've never had scrubs altered, but I would say to buy your current size. Its much easier to fit into something too big instead of something too small. I've had problems in the past when I purchased clothing that was the size I wanted to be instead of...

I don't understand why you felt the need to post this.

I am about to start a new job in a LD department. We have two colors to choose from: blueberry and periwinkle. To me they look the same. I was just wondering what colors other people wore, or if you have any idea where I can order scrubs in these col...

I don't have a speech impairment, but since I was born I have had fine tremors in my hands. I was really worried about it growing up because I was always afraid I would not be able to be a nurse with this handicap. Sometimes it is barely noticeable b...

Hi, I just graduated last Saturday 5/8/04! I can't believe its over!! I am starting my new job in Labor and Delivery on June 7th. I'm very excited. I'm petrified about boards though. Will be studying my @$$ off until then. Congrats all!:balloons:

It is a nurse's responsibility.

My sister is pregnant now and she told me the other day that she knew she was having a boy because she was on bottom during sex. I think thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard, and I told her so too.

Labor and Delivery I haven't graduated yet (05/08/04) but I have an interview on Tuesday and I can't wait!!

I was just curious if any other nursing students have noticed this ... Working on the floor I have noticed throughout all my clinicals and also my preceptorship that ALOT of nurses don't perform assessments. I've also noticed that many nurses don't e...

I am not saying that it should be a "nursing school" assessment. I don't even do that and I'm in nursing school. But you know, heart and lungs are always important, pain, skin integrity. Then whatever is specific to that patient. Most nurses I know p...

My preceptor was exactly the same way. She hardly ever did anything related to patient care while I was on the floor. Anytime I asked her a question she would either answer "I don't know" or "look it up" and then had the audacity (?) to write on my ...

This was a major issue in my class. I say, worry about what you are doing only. There is no reason in college to act like you are in 3rd grade. It is not your job to be hall monitor.

I am a BSN student graduating in about 3 weeks! YAY! Anyway, to answer your questions ... at the school I attend we are not allowed to perform procedures on ourselves or other students as it is seen as "an uneccesary intervention". I won't say I have...

I don't care that they are from a different time period, times have changed and if the person is AA&O then I do not have to and will not put up with being degraded. You can make any excuse you want about being from some other time or having a har...

My preceptor and I were helping to bathe this older patient. I am white, my preceptor is black and the patient is black. With me standing right beside her, the patient looks at my preceptor and says, "you are the best nurse, I like you because you ar...

LOL I have had alot of school related dreams, this is my most recent though: A couple days ago I was taking a nap and I must have really had to pee in my sleep because I dreamed that I was straight cath-ing myself.

May 8th, 2004 :balloons: 30 days and counting!!:balloons:

I am a nursing student graduating in May from a BSN program. I felt much the same way that you feel when I was in my first year. I hated clinicals, dreaded everyday of it! I would hide from the instructors because I was terrified to perform skills. I...

I'm a female nursing student (graduating in May). Personally I find it a little ridiculous for a male nurse to only cath male patients or vice versa. I can understand if the patient completely refuses, thats one thing. But otherwise I don't see a pro...

My mom is also a nurse and when my youngest sister was in kindergarten she had a pregnant teacher. Of course one of the students asked where baby's come from and the teacher replied "from your tummy". My 5 year old sister stood up and said "Nuh-uh th...

I've known I was going to be a nurse since I was 5. When I was in high school Anatomy and Physiology we disected cats. My partner and I would always laugh that the skinned cat made us hungry as we were disecting it. Guess what? We are both nurses now...

I've done the same thing ... twice.

Yesterday I was in one of my patients room for about 15 minutes talking so I decided it was time for me to go tend to my other patients. When I was leaving I was trying to say something like "ok, well I'll leave you alone to rest" but what actually c...

Just want to reply to this from my personal experience. I am a BSN student graduating in May and until I started my preceptorship 4 weeks ago, no one had ever shown me how to answer a call bell. Not in 2 years! So next time this situation comes up, y...
