thanks for the replies.. to maximaxi: i bought my scrubs at ebay and some sites online but the sizing is different.. i have to try it first coz sometime xs in dickies is not xs in other brands

i usually buy online but i have some difficulties about sizing coz som e brands have different sizing, like the xs in dickies is a small in cherokee... so i would prefer buying in stores so i could try it. where do u buy scrubs and other medical supplies here in NYC? thanks

hello. i'm a new RN and will be applying soon. What is the area you would recommend for a new RN like me? i also noticed that most of the new Rns are working in med/surg/tele... any advice?

i have two trodats, one from metazza.. P150.00 and the other one is a gift from my friends last year coz i'm leaving for US that time.. and now, i still have it w/ me.. but i think i wont be able to use it anymore here in US coz the charting is already in computer

hello! same dilemma here... okay this is the picture.. i got here in New York bec my dad petitioned me. i graduated last 2005 in the philippines, took the local boards, left phils last year and just last week i passed my nclex rn. I felt so inadequate coz i don't have any working experince, just my clinical exposure (hospital duty) when i was still studying. And actually i've never experienced inserting a foley cath to a real person.. i just experience inserting it to a dummy as part of our related learning experience from school. Not only that, i don't even have the courage to look for a job coz (i know this is shallow so pls bear with me) I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IMPRESSIVE TO PUT IN MY RESUME. thankis for reading..

hello... i'm batch 2005 from FEU and i'm here now in NY, i just passed Nclex last week... if you're looking for a training in IV.. National Kidney and Transplant Institute is good. They're Comprehensive and "new-grad friendly" hehe :) the fee is P2,500 (last year) and it's a nice and modern hospital unlike other hospitals in QC.. ooops! :) by the way if you'll be working here in the US, i think the IV training and BLS is not qualified here (I'm quite unsure abt this though).. you have to take it here in the US.. that's the reason why i didn't train for BLS na coz i don't want to shed money before hehe
