SCRUBS SCRUBS SCRUBS

My favorite scrub company just got better.  Aside from having the best fitting scrubs on the market, the greatest lab coats, and layering T's- they now carry men's scrubs too!!!  Their great designs and perfect color options allow any nurse- whether male or female- to find something perfect for them!  Check it out at www.scrubink.comwww.scrubink.com- the scrubs fit like they were custom designed just for you :)

Supporting America's Economy

Loved this article about a New York City based Scrub Company supporting the American economy by not outsourcing production.  Even though production costs are higher in America, they are setting an example to both other companies and consumers about the importance of local support.  Click here to read the article.

Great Chef

I don't really have endless free time in the day to whip up amazing meals, but I just found this great website Chef Chloe.  She has all these great vegan recipes that are super simple and super delicious.  She won on The Food Network's show Cupcakes wars.  Even if you're not vegan I'm positive you'll love these recipes- check it out!

Warm up for work

Just found these really cute layering thermals.  You could wear them under your scrubs or just with a pair of jeans.  They are super warm and comfortable, made from really soft material.  Check them out!  I'm always cold when I'm wearing just medical scrubs in the hospital so I'm always on the look out for cute layering pieces!

Red or White...

We all need a drink once in a while (okay, maybe a little more than once in a while) especially if you're a nurse.  Here's a fun gift for a friend!  Hand painted wine glasses.  They have them for all occasions bridal showers, weddings, graduations, retirement, and my favorite- just for being a nurse.  Check them out!

T.V News

As a nurse I am always annoyed when I am watching a T.V show that is based in and around a hospital and the actors don't correctly portray nurses and doctors.  Mislabeled diseases, incorrect terms, wrong facts etc. - just make these shows unrealistic and not enjoyable...

The actress, Jada Pinkett Smith, fired the entire technical crew working behind the scenes of her Hospital based T.V show "Hawthorne".  Smith's mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones who worked as a nurse for her entire life, criticized the authenticity of the show's subject matter.  As a result Smith hired an entire new crew in order to ensure that the show would be genuine.  "...Things like how we put the cap back on the needle, or how we inject the needle, or how we resuscitate. (It's) very specific and we got a lot of nurses last year emailing and saying, 'We like the show but you're not really doing this and this.' At the end of the season I had a six-page email (from her mum). But this year she helped make a much better show, so kudos to her."

Bottom line...nurses know their stuff :)
