I am a retired nurse due to an accident with a girl on a cell phone, t-boning my car. I am now disabled and have started an online store http://mamasuescloset.com
Since I can't do the job I love anymore, I feel that i can offer something to those who can.

I have left the above post, but have given an infraction to skscott48 for posting this same kind of message 3 times. Spamming of adverts is not allowed on Nursing Voices

Back on topic. I am on my second last placement, this time with pediatrics. The nurses on the ward all wear scrubs, and I love the look! All different basic colours (pink, blues, navy, greens) They all have the logo of the hospital on the pocket and say NURSE. It looks good! No one else (other than nurses) wears scrubs in the hospital except doctors in the OT.

Since you just graduated, becareful not to get to carried away on getting a huge scrub wardrobe. When get offered a nursing job, find out the dress code because some hospitals and health centers have strict dress codes on their medical uniforms and nursing scrubs. I would hate to see you spend too much money on scrubs that you can't wear.

NO scrubs, here. Tactical or EMS pants from 5.11 and t-shirts, usually from my flight job.
