  6. One set of scrubs?

    hgrimmett replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    You should be able to get by with one set for now. My school makes us wear scrubs to class as well as to clinicals, so I needed at least 3 sets per week, otherwise I'd be doing laundry all the time....

    hgrimmett replied to TMWillia's topic in Florida Nursing

  11. Floating?

    hgrimmett replied to Morganalefey's topic in General Nursing

    hgrimmett replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
