  1. Nursing school vs. Nursing

    Booty Nurse replied to heavenly14313's topic in General Nursing

    Are you doing clinicals at a hospital? Many hospital librarians are happy to get articles for staff and/or students. Good luck!

  8. Scrubs

    Booty Nurse replied to KYCNM's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear my scrubs to the grocery store after work. What about everyone else who goes into a patient's room? Family, friends, docs, non-patient-care staff? I sure don't see family members change clothes...

    Slippery Rock charges $612 for a 3-credit class, plus fees. They require NO time on campus. My favorite part is that if you have at least 63 credits to transfer in, they don't require any liberal arts...
