    KimGau replied to KimGau's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing. I am sorry you had to go through that and your point of having "no warning" was why I started this thread. I asked tons of questions when my DR suggested this medication and I...

  7. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

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

    IMHO I do not like any scrubs with patterns. I do think they look like pajamas. If your boss allows it (no hospitals in my area do) then it's your choice to wear them or not. I can understand printed...

  12. Qualified New Grad RN, No one wants to hire!!!!!

    KimGau replied to Brownie3085's topic in General Nursing

    Ok I am seriously outraged right now. What kind of morales does a person have to have to tell someone to pole dance until she can find a job as a nurse. That is absolutely DISGUSTING. This was a...

  17. Do you ask Q's for the truth, or to hear nice things???

    KimGau replied to Texas247365's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
