1. scrubs with collars

   FutureCRNP replied to Platypus's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Rather than a collar, I would go for a well fitted, crisp/ tailored look. Today's scrubs come in a variety of looks that can look neat and well put together. I always launder my scrubs at home and send them to the cleaners for an extra starch heavy ...

2. Stuck by used insulin needle

   FutureCRNP replied to FutureCRNP's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I just took the first dose of the "House In Virginia"(as we like to call it at work) prophylaxis meds. I'm hoping it does not make me nauseated. Also, they have me a hep-B shot as well. I'm just so disappointed in myself. As a nurse, we train f...

3. Stuck by used insulin needle

   FutureCRNP replied to FutureCRNP's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, I repeated it to the human resources office as well as to the infection control office. I'm afraid of an HIV infection even though the CDC reports less than 1% chance with a small bore needle.
