    FMF Corpsman replied to moma8gma1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ruby I don't know if you misread my post or just chose to interpret it the way you wanted too, but I never said a Nurses manner of dress would necessarily effect their care, I simply queried what...

    What constitutes "professional appearance" these days?

    FMF Corpsman replied to moma8gma1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The Disrespect Of Nurses

    FMF Corpsman replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
