    Where to buy Petite Scrubs

    ixchel replied to cafegoer's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like Buttersoft stretch. I probably am a size bigger than you in pants (5'2", ~115 typically, bit of a booty, small petite). I love the 9 pocket pant. I'm significantly smaller on top. The XS shirt...

    You know, I'm kind of into this idea. Here's the deal... About 3.5 months ago, I went on FMLA for a medical emergency. My PCP had mercy on me and wrote me out until surgery that was scheduled for...

    Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    ixchel replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    In my very brief tenure as a nurse so far, I've seen all possible sides to this coin, and honestly, no side wins completely. Earliest clinical experiences, we were NOT wanted. I even had a nurse hunt...

    Facebook and employers/school

    ixchel replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    This is absolutely the horrible truth. Had a friend work an understaffed shift on a night when her whole unit blew the eff up. Most of us have had shifts that didn't feel safe. She had one, and she...

    What Nurses really Want to Say When They Chart

    ixchel replied to SICUshortCait's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of a conversation I had with a surgeon when I asked for parameters that might warrant calling him over night. He said, "don't contact me. Contact Doctor Aware." Anytime you EVER see...

    Only taking 2 classes in first semester. Bad idea?

    ixchel replied to leehyeri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe the first semester of college tends to be very hard, as you learn how to self direct and prioritize between work, school, and home. If there were ANY semester I'd recommend only two classes,...

    ixchel replied to Patient4life's topic in Emergency

    The worst offender of this that I have ever heard of is tricare. Some areas, getting an urgent appointment with a PCP (especially overly-impacted specialists, like pediatricians) literally takes 1-3...
