1. Dansko sizing

   ICURN1028 replied to Quota's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   They are indeed supposed to be loose so I don't think I would keep the ones you just received. I'd check the return policy before you proceed with your next order. Maybe you can try both. Ideally, you...

   I wash my scrubs in cold water and air dry them on their hangers. I haven't had any issues with pilling/wrinkling. Good

3. New Grad

   The biggest piece of advice I can give to you as a new grad (whether working in med/surg, neuro ICU, ER, etc) is to bring a small notebook and jot down notes regarding the...

4. NEW RN: Need recommendations

   ICURN1028 replied to Emilyyredd's topic in Critical Care

5. Eating on the Night Shift

   ICURN1028 replied to westieluv's topic in Medical-Surgical

   When I used to work night shift I would wake up around 5:30pm, go to work, and have dinner (full meal that I would bring from home) between 9-11pm depending on how stable everything was at that time....

6. Pencil and paper for CCRN exam?

   ICURN1028 replied to eashton72's topic in Critical Care

7. CCRN Help

   ICURN1028 replied to USNRN90's topic in Critical Care

   I'm sorry you have had to take the exam twice but I admire your perseverance! I agree with the above posters to review the exam blueprint and focus on your weaker areas (especially if they're in the...

8. Converse sneakers at clinicals

   ICURN1028 replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   I agree with the above posters; the final answer will be your school's specific policy. Even if they do allow you to wear them, the lack of arch support after 12+ hours may have you hurting! It might...

   ICURN1028 replied to nicenurse01's topic in Critical Care

   It is completely normal and expected to feel this way when first starting! I went into the ICU with previous RN experience and the ECCO course completed -- and still felt overwhelmed and scared to...

    ICURN1028 replied to #HISCHILD's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I actually just called Baylor directly and was told the pre-req courses need to be completed prior to matriculation, not the application deadline. Hope this helps anyone else who was wondering! =)...
