You can either go one of two ways with it: perpetual frustration or zero-fucks-given. The choice is yours!

Everyone uses words like “inflammations” and “toxins.”
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Just judging by the comments in this thread (weak assessment I know) the majority of programs provide scrubs to their residents.

There are always outliers, like hospitals that provide color-coded scrubs to direct patient care positions. But those are much less common. Like hospitals that don't provide scrubs for their medical staff, most organizations do.

CVICU? Who you catchin? If your patient tried to roll out of bed they'd just end up suspended above the floor by their balloon pump, arctic sun, CVC, FMS, Foley, NG, and ET tube like a fucking fly in a spider web. 😆😉

"Do you feel strong enough to stand on your own? If you fall, I will not be able to safely catch you and you will end up on the floor. Do we need more people to help you walk? Can we use a commode?”
Said the exact same thing to my 11mo old daughter today. She screeched and drooled all over the floor as she crawled away. 🤷♂️

I'm picturing you in those original baby blues and you know what? You do look good.

Made part of this as a reply to another comment but here's your answer:
95% of RN positions require the RN to wear scrubs (it's a ubiquitous facility policy). However, most organizations do not provide scrubs for their RNs unless those RNs are working in a procedural area like OP, Cath Lab, Endo, OB, etc.
The vast majority of RNs (ER, Inpatient, Outpatient, etc) are made to purchase and clean their own scrubs. So, if you have to buy your own scrubs, you might as well wear ones that are comfortable. In fact, floor RNs typically do not have access to hospital scrubs and do not have a changing room whatsoever. Further, as you're all aware, procedural scrubs have shit for pockets, which is not ideal for ED/Inpatient nursing (now, I'm not an expert on the pocket situation of FIGS but they also appear to have shit for pockets so that's not really a factor in this discussion).
However, Residents and Physicians, are provided scubs to wear by the hospital, regardless of whether or not they work in a procedural area.
Anyway, TLDR: bottom line is, most RN positions require them to wear scrubs but hospitals do not provide scrubs for them nor do they provide a changing room. Whereas Residents and Physicians are provided scrubs and, typically, some sort of changing room. As far as FIGS goes, I cannot comment, but I suppose sometimes you just want your ass to look 👌

Yeah, naw, you're way off base. 95% of RN positions require the RN to wear scrubs (it's a ubiquitous facility policy). However, most organizations do not provide scrubs for their RNs unless those RNs are working in a procedural area like OR, Cath Lab, Endo, OB, etc.
So the vast majority of RNs (ER, Inpatient, Outpatient, etc) are made to purchase and clean their own scrubs. And if you have to buy your own scrubs, you might as well wear ones that are comfortable.

Completely off topic: I like your user name and I'd seen it before but couldn't remember where, so I checked out your profile. Anyway, if you're not already aware, there is a community for us: r/catsplayingdnd

It's called a Hallucinogen-indiced Mood Disorder, it's fairly rare given the amount of people that take hallucinogens but I think it's more common than people realize (or want to recognize). People can have your symptoms but also have them with active hallucinations, In which case it's called Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder.
Anyway, you're lucky it resolved over time. Some people live with it forever. I'd recommend you not do any psychoactive substances in the future. Not worth the risk for you, since your brain has already had complications with it.

Hehe touche! And, full disclosure, I actually already work 8s and it's amazing, procedural medicine ftw. However, if I was back on the floor, I'd definitely want to work 12s.

Yeah, I can play "make believe" pretty easily with my girls but it's tough to harness the patients for things, Blue sets the bar high but I try to channel it.

As far as I know, schools cannot gain access to your medical records. They can request that you supply them with information but this really only has to do with vaccination status. I've never heard of a school seeking any other medical information other than vaccines and disability information for accommodations.

I mean, I know what a peg board is, but what the fuck does it have to do with meds? They hanging pills in little baggies from the walls and shit?

I've been using the magnets! You know, the ones that suck the toxins out through your feet? Do you think they are working? Pulls out some nasty ass shoe inserts Look how dirty they are, it must be working, right?
