The best and cheapest place to purchase scrubs is Wal-Mart but you won't ever be the most original fashionista because everyone else will be wearing the exact same scrubs. They offer up to 3X which is like a 26W. I'm tall so I like the unisex dawstring pants but they offer different kinds. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much to all who replied. Your responses reaffirmed my feeling for the nurse who made the comment. I never cried in the hallway and kept it together any time I was caring for another resident. I know that a death of a fellow resident brings to the other resident's mind their own mortality and I would never do anything to upset the other people I care for. I am well aware of my professional responsibility. This man had COPD and died suddenly probably from a heart attack. I am grateful that he didn't have to die slowly running out of oxygen and find solace in the fact that he isn't struggling for every breath he takes anymore. I guess I was just looking for a few professional people to back up my thinking that it is this other nurse who has the problem and not me. Thank you so much to all the replies.

What do you think is appropriate.... The sudden passing of one of our favorite residents last week has turned our workplace into a different place. Several people have been grieving the loss of this man and dealing with it in their own way. I used to bring him coffee every night and we'd invariably talk as I did his cares. Needless to say I became attached to him and I enjoyed our nightly coffee break every bit as much as he did. I was talking to the CNA who found him on the floor the night he died and we were shedding some tears for our friend we lost and a nurse we like to call the "wicked witch of the west wing" happens to walk by and berated us for our unprofessional and emotional behavior. It wouldn't normally bother me because this nurse has a history being coldhearted and uncaring about other people's feelings but other people have backed up her point with the same opinion. We were not crying in the hallway or anywhere where any other residents were around. How do you deal with loss on the job and do you have to be completely unemotional to be a succesful nurse? Please share you stories!!

Whenever I see someone riding without a helmut I always think of it as an accident waiting to happen. I do however agree that laws are not going to make someone more worried about their comfort while riding than them making it to their destination in one piece change their minds. I would think that getting smacked in the head by a big june bug would be enough incentive for me to put a helmut on.
