    Doing away with Scrubs

    CrunchRN replied to Kcwestportboy's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes and no. I see their point in that it is supposed to be "home" and not such a medical thing. And yet it is just wildly impractical for the hands on nursing staff. On the side of...

    Don't Call Them Nurses!

    CrunchRN replied to Lark Pogue's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I get what you mean. I have worked with good ones and terrible ones. Some have great training and some only what the doc taught them. As far as your flu shot the same thing happened to me. Here is...
