Hi, I'm looking for a pair of very supportive nursing shoes that can be worn in a pediatric doctors office. Dansko's are not comfortable and can't seem to find any sneakers that are professional and supportive at the same time. Willing to spend $$$ ...

Thanks for all the suggestions on different shoes to buy. Besides The Walking Company, where else is there to try on these types of shoes?

Thanks for the info! Currently wearing croc shoes (not classic crocs) and those are the ones that are killing my feet. I will look at trail running shoes-I tried Sketcher's sneakers recently and wore through the treads quickly. The problem with man...

thank you for your "concern" but I already made my INFORMED decisions for my education. I'm not going to change it now so there is no reason to tell me where to go to school.

then it must not be obvious to you. I made my decisions based on many factors, and did my own research. Please don't insinuate I am a naive person making decisions based on propaganda and misinformation.

I do not know the policies of the hospitals around me and I don't need to know. I don't smoke. the smell makes me sick. My friend grew up in a smoking house and *likes* the smell. don't ask. I used to tell her to clean her wool coat b/c it absorbed s...

I asked "can you please rate your pain for me? if 0 was no pain and 10 the worst you ever had, where would you put your pain right now?" our clinical site has pain rating charts in each room velcro'ed with other lang's (Mandarin and Russian I think)...

Hi renka, so fundamentals was both hard and easy. I did the trad program and did my A&P's with the nursing courses so I was at a disadvantage of not knowing the A&P. a lot of the information of fundamentals was learning the norms and anatomy ...
