    Inserts for shoes?

    So I know the topic of which shoes should be used has been brought up a lot in here, but my question is what about insoles? Where do you guys get your insoles from? Or what type of insoles do you usually get? Do you just go to like CVS and get the D...

    What color are your scrubs?

    We wear Navy Blue at my hospital. The typical in California seems to be either Navy Blue or Ceil Blue.

    Scrub pants?

    While the Dickies say "Jr Fit" they fit like a women's & come in XXL & XXXL if necessary. The Xtreme stretch are soooo comfy!

    Scrub pants?

    Grey's Anatomy and Dickies Xtreme Stretch! Those are the only ones I have found that do not require me to pull them up all the time. They are the half drawstring/half elastic band! The all drawstring are the worst in my opinion!

    If you could wear any scrub?

    I love my Grey's Anatomy & the new Dickies Super Stretch! They are both a little pricey, but so incredibly worth it as they are super comfortable & last a long time.

    Most Stressful Day

    So I know there are a ton of posts in here about your most memorable drug seekers, the craziest patients etc. so, here's a new question that I haven't seen asked yet. We all have stressful days, days where we don't win, days where we just wanna cry a...

    Attention tall nurses!!!

    I always buy Barco Brand, in the Long Length (I believe it's TL when selecting). I've never looked at the inseam, but they are always plenty long enough! I want to say it's at least a 34" inseam AFTER washing. I don't wear any other scrubs but Grey's...

    Attention tall nurses!!!

    I am 6'1" (so I think in the tallest one posting here so far) and a size 10/12. I always buy Barco brand, more often than not Grey's Anatomy at that. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the softness of them, and the fact that they are definitely long enough. I either...

    What's you're best drug seeker?

    I know that this thread is all over the place, but there are none that have anything from this year, and since I had possibly my best & worst attempt today (yes, all in one day!) I thought I would start a new one. Best: Lady comes in and says th...

    Sock color and school req.

    Make sure you are allowed to wear clogs. Most schools do not allow clogs.

    At my wit's end...

    Well, considering that you are here calling them "stupid" I'd like to venture out and assume you are part of the problem, even if you don't realize it. Do you KNOW they hate you? Or do you just assume. Are you one who likes to just blurt out every si...

    Before you judge the addicted nurse.....

    At least you don't think that you would have made the same choices. However, no one actually knows what choices they would have made until after they are out in that position...until after they are in that much pain, until after they have already go...

    Taking CNA exam Friday? Need help and advice!

    Did you learn how to take blood pressure manually? Or do you already know how? That is part of a CNA skill set. You have to make sure you can make a bed with a person in it! You have to make sure you give a bed bath properly as well. I really don't s...

    LPN/LVN Clinical Questions

    When you guys went through your LPN/LVN program and did your clinicals, where did you do them? Did you only rotate through LTC facilities? Or did you rotate through a hospital as well? Did you receive any Pediactrics, OB/GYN, ER clinical rotation? An...

    UltraScopes?

    Has anyone here ever bought an UltraScope? I have a Littmann Classic SE II but I am really looking at either the Cardiology III or an UltraScope! I really want to get the UltraScope because it's so personalizable and I know I would be the only one wi...

    UltraScopes?

    I do not have an UltraScope yet! I currently have the Littmann Classic SE II. I'm deciding between the Littmann Cardiology & UltraScope for my new one.

    UltraScopes?

    http://www.ultrascopes.com I kinda left off the "s" which makes a huge difference! Oops. It should work now.

    Is LPN school hard?

    Well, it's definitely not easy. It also depends on whether you have an accelerated program or not. I did an accelerated program and it is pretty challenging with 3 tests every week. (One Anatomy/Physiology, Parmacology & Fundamentals) However, as...

    Parents cannot comprehend stress of nursing school

    This of it this way, if you keep going and going and going putting yourself last, then you won't make it. You have to take care of yourself and that includes getting enough sleep. Maybe you not getting enough sleep is part of the reason you are so wi...

    Alcohol screening?

    I would assume that they test for alcohol as well...it seems to be the "typical." However, contact them directly and just ask. You wouldn't want to go out and have a drink with dinner to wake up and realize you are to test the next morning.

    Best shoes for nurses?

    I didn't even know Greys made shoes too! I just use Nike Free Trainers 5.0! Comfy as hell with insoles.

    UltraScopes?

    And yes, my kids use my old sprague prestige & basic prestige now to "give mommy surgery!" Yeah, maybe with mommy being a nurse & watching Grey's has helped that one escalate!
