  1. Cleaning littman classic II SE?

    J.Allen replied to Christa_Gunnewiek's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The manual will tell you not to immerse the scope in any liquids, but at this point if it doesn't work what choice do you have as a last ditch effort. I would separate the chest piece from the lumen-...

  2. Alternate stethoscope ID?

    J.Allen replied to adventure_rn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The Welch Allyns come with or you can purchase a tag that snaps on to the plastic bridge between the two lumen. (I have the Elite) It even has a metal plate which can be engraved. You could argue...

  3. Different Sort of Shoe Question

    J.Allen replied to Cari1030's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Crocs are great, but usually ones without holes are required and they don't allow your feet to breathe. I've worn Nurse Mates, but they are expensive and they wear out in a few months. Sketchers...

  4. Where can I buy scrubs?

    J.Allen replied to wandwaving's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There are all kinds of shops locally which sell scrubs, but they pretty much have only women's scrubs. Also the selection is lacking. I buy my scrubs from Amazon. There are a decent amount of...

    J.Allen replied to wandwaving's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  6. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    J.Allen replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is still a field dominated by women. Well dominated is a strong word. but they do make up the majority. At the 150 bed facility I work at now, I am one of two male nurses. There is also a male...

  8. First job after liscensure

    J.Allen posted a topic in General Nursing

  9. First job after liscensure

    J.Allen replied to J.Allen's topic in General Nursing

    This seems like sound advice. However I don't ultimately don't know where I want to be in 4 years time. I've had my feet wet in many different areas but have not had the opportunity to immerse myself...

  10. CPR BLS renewal

    J.Allen posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. No alcohol. NONE

    J.Allen replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can relate to the OP. I have had an alcohol addiction for over a year, and a few times I went to work with alcohol on my breath. I sometimes could not make it through a day without becoming ill...

  15. Have not worked since licensure, two years ago and need to catch up

    J.Allen replied to J.Allen's topic in General Nursing

    Of course it makes sense to put eggs in lots of baskets, but the hospital I particularly had in mind is a few minute walk from where I want to live and they are offering a very large sign on bonus...

  16. Cardiology III modifications

  19. Swapping Diaphragms

    J.Allen replied to J.Allen's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    So I attempted to mount the Littmann diaphragm. They are supposed to be the same size, 45mm, but the Littmann is in fact a smidge smaller, but I still managed to fit it under the rim. To be honest...

    J.Allen posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just purchased one of these Kila stethoscopes, the KL-770 which is very comparable to Littmann's Cardio-3. The rims on the diaphragm and bell are the same color as the rest of the stethoscope and...

  21. Littmann color question

    J.Allen replied to Amaranthine's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I really like the "Plum" color and want to buy binaurals in this color. Is anyone familiar with this color and do you think it would be odd for a male to own a steth like this? Navy and Caribbean...
