    Don't stress out until you find out your results. I know it's easier said than done, but stressing won't change anything! You probably did better than you think! Hope it all turns out

    KrCmommy522 replied to Varsityblues's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Converse sneakers at clinicals

    KrCmommy522 replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    At my school we had to wear white sneakers, but it didn't matter what brand. You will have to see what your school requires. From your post it seems as though they need to be white shoes. However, I...
