So as I embark on my journey to pursue my masters and specialize in geriatrics I find myself in LTC. Some of you who have worked in a hospital vs LTC can clearly see the culture/rule shocks. But when does it go too far?? A few weeks ago the 7-3 nurse...

I have never done that, the butterfly normally has a grey rubber at the end, how and why are you attaching it to a syringe?

.....

I am more curious to know why you would think 30 anything is too old to go back to school to become an RN. I strongly believe that once you figure that out, you'll be able to answer your own question

I could literally go on and on. I work in ICU and was doing home health. But the Home health census has been slow so I picked up an LTC facility on my days off (I'm paying off student loans). I love LTC, and the places I have worked at before (in a d...

Luckily, at this facility, the nurses are with me and sick of it as well. Even little things like our CNA's sitting at the nurses station on the phone when we need to chart.I feel so defeated here, maybe it is time to move on.

No unions here...The DON's knows about the situation, she is the one I gave the report to (BIG MISTAKE not following the chain of command). The report was then given to my unit manager, who then gave it to the CNA supervisor. The CNA supervisor state...

How exactly do you plan to know every single detail of the textbook from front to back? I would love that secret! And No, they wont go over the A&P of a system they are teaching (if they do, it will be brief), but it will most likely be on the P...

Let me tell you a secret: Any nurse who passes meds on a consistent basis who says they have never made a med error...Is lying. Shhhhh...

BILLS.

OK...I am most definitely a very girly glam girl. I love having very neat and form fitting scrubs. Which can get tedious seeing that I'm 5'13" (just go with it)! Its an obsession that developed after I bought some great scrubs and was no longer pul...

Long story short I had a discussion with a veteran nurse, who argued me to the sky that nursing pay needs to remain modest to protect the integrity of the profession. She went on and on about how much better nurses/nursing was when the pay wasn't as ...

You kind of sound like you just need a break..I smell burn out all over your post. You don't HAVE to move around because it's been a year and half. When you do find a specialty or something you love, the more med/surg experience you have the better! ...

My heart goes out to you, I would like to tell you that your stutter is not a factor keeping you from getting the job you are applying for (as it shouldn't be), but I don't know the minds of the people interviewing you. But aside from that, the NICU ...

Iguana Med-Nice! Thanks so much for the input. They kind of remind me of Med couture. As for Dickies, I've always adored their scrubs but the sizing is too small (for me anyway) I usually wear a Medium top with them I need a Large and their tall scru...

Hilarious!! and exactly they way I feel towards scrubs that fit that way. And also, I saw Jaanuu that floral print is beautiful but I am a solid color kind of nurse all the way.

Yup! I use the old ones around the house too, I repainted my art room and did a few projects around the house, they were perfect!

OH YES! I have those lots of those stretchy scrub pants (from heart soul) that are form fitting but comfortable and actually cover all of my legs, from previous employers I've worked for and their colors don't match my current employers colors so w...

Well I assume the same germs that can be found on their shoes, watches, purses, their arms, in their hair (for those who like wearing it down at work) I try not to think about that it can drive you crazy.

The situation you are facing is one I have faced more times than I would like. We talk about waste in the healthcare system, but refuse to start in the most obvious places. I've aided in spending hundreds of thousands of dollars stabilizing 70-80-90 ...

Embarrassed to wear scrubs in public..Lol...we have a complete opposite appreciation for scrubs. Guess I'm just weird all alone.

So by sizing up you make your yoga scrub pants baggy? I see, well to each its own

I don't like tight clothes either, too much junk back there. The whole day will be spent readjusting, not to mention the whole oops I split my pants thing that could occur. That stretchy comfy but form fitting material gives me Life!!!! Thank you...

Anything yoga..usually screams form fitting and comfortable to me so I was pleasantly surprised to see scrubs that came like this...but very perplexed by your comment. The Koi Women's Tall Morgan Ultra Comfy Yoga-Style Scrub pants seem form fitting t...

Well I don't wear my scrubs form fitting with the intention of my patients to look at my body, I wear them that way, because I work a lot and I want to look good for myself. When I look good I feel good. Baggy clothes are comfortable but I am above ...
