    libby11 replied to Jamiek33's topic in General Students

    You need to remember to take time for yourself, go out occasionally, or stay up late and watch a movie once in a while. NOT all the time, of course, but once in a while... Stay sane! Plan ahead. You...

    libby11 replied to Hopestobe's topic in General Students

  4. Overweight issues; uncomfortable with being practiced on by another student

    libby11 replied to molybdenum's topic in General Students

  5. Do you guys have to do return demonstrations?

    libby11 replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    libby11 replied to libby11's topic in General Students

    libby11 replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  17. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    libby11 replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    So my question is... being a new CNA, will it be okay for me to wear the 'cutesy scrubs?' I was told I could wear any color/print except plain white (would not want to wear white anyway!!) Maybe I'm...

  18. Help a guy coordinate his scrubs

    libby11 replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
