Uniformed Scrub review and discount code! Because comfy scrubs are half the battle...

For nurse (and student nurses like myself), everything else you just take it as it comes. I know I've been slacking really bad on my posts lately. But for good reason! I became a nurse intern! So most of my free time when I'm not at school (which is basically 5 days a week with 12-hour-clinical-day) I am working as an intern at the ED! I know that in the beginning of starting school I was really not sure what part of nursing I wanted to venture into, but after being at the ED for a while, I can really see myself venturing out into Emergency nursing! The rush and adrenaline I get from each shift is wonderful and there's never a dull moment! But I'm gonna have a whole separate post on that later! 

What I really want to talk about are these wonderful scrubs that Uniformed Scrubs sent me to review. Now, I've been sent items from companies in the past but sometimes the items I'm sent just aren't worth posting about. But the scrubs and also the customer service of this site is amazing! I know many people can be apprehensive about ordering scrubs online because the styles may be limited or they don't have your size. I know how this can be because X-Small sizes can be so hard to find! But this site carries all different sizes and all different styles! They also ship fast, carry all the brands that I love, and all at a discounted rate! So of course I'm going to have some great things to post about them! The scrubs they sent me are Dickies scrubs in an X-Small.














































I know I posted quite a few photos of just one scrub top but it's because I want to show you guys the quality of these scrubs and how just having good detailed stitching can enhance a petite frame! Also, these scrubs have plenty of pockets! I even have a pocket on my left arm sleeve! If you guys are interested in the scrubs and also an other medical gear (they sell cute shoes too!) definitely check out Uniformed Scrubs! They gave me a coupon code to share with my wonderful readers! The code is "trueblue" for 15% off and is valid until August 31, 2013.

Nursing Student: Preparing for Fundamentals

Hey Everyone!

So I posted another video about me preparing for my Fundamentals course! As you can see, the quality of this video is a lot better cause I actually made time to record the video with my real camera and not my Mac. Hope you guys enjoy watching my videos! I really hope to continue making more videos to show other hopeful nursing students what it's like to be in the program from someone who is already going through it all! Any other nursing students out there that have any tips or questions about nursing school? Hope you all enjoy!

Looking Back and New Years Resolutions!

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well! I'm glad that I've been able to post a little more often from being on vacation from school! It's been great being able to sleep in and not have to worry about homework for a while but I'm excited to start this next semester! I start Fundamentals this coming semester which will be the start of clinicals! Of course, I've heard a lot about clinicals and how hectic it can be, especially when it comes to care plans... but I still can't wait for it all to begin! I can just imagine myself reading this at the end of this coming semester and saying to myself, "What is wrong with you?" HA! We'll see! 2012 has been an incredible year for me! So let me just break down the 12 favorites for me of 2012!

FAVORITES OF 2012!:
1. Tried a new recipe every week
2. Got a new job that for the most part, I like
3. Got a gym membership over the summer and go at least 3 times a week ( a real accomplishment if you know me real well)
4. Read the Fault in Our Stars! (YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!)
5. Went to Disney World
6. Put Christmas lights up! (A first for us!)
7. Went to Busch Gardens for the first time and road Sheikra and Manta! (Manta's my favorite!)
8. Caved in and got a Keurig! (Best invention ever! If you don't have one, you should!)
9. Finally reached my goal of having enough money to pay for my car while I'm in nursing school for two years and then some (which I'll be using for maintenance of my car for those two years)
10. Got a new Car!
11. My boyfriend and I moved in together!
12. And last but definitely not least....GOT INTO THE NURSING PROGRAM

Now onto pictures taken during 2012!
