    I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    GHGoonette replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Nursing Acuity

    GHGoonette replied to ImproveOutcomes's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Saudi Arabia - Good Idea or Not

    GHGoonette replied to 43RN20's topic in General World
