    What would you change about your scrubs??

    Glycerine82 replied to jessk2323's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like them to be wrinkle resistant, fitted but breathable with lots and lots of pockets. I like the tops to have 2 on each side at least and would love to see some on the sides. I like the pants to...

    No briefs?! Is this an ICU thing?

    Glycerine82 replied to nursingchick1's topic in General Students

    Do you think one of the things they're trying to teach you is how to prioritize? (I'm being sincere, I'm not in the program yet). You said you had an exam and a project that had 10 sub-topics, but...

    You are aware that no one has spread Ebola to a member of the general public in the US and there is only one active case in the entire US, right now.

    NO WAY! I'll give her a medal, though. She wasn't symptomatic, and she was testing negative. She posed NO threat to the general public. They had no right to quarantine her. She wanted to go...

    Wow. Just so you know, CNA duties = Nursing duties. The simple fact is, if your patient was dirty and you had time, you should have offered to rectify the things you saw wrong. Nurses don't always...
