A new niche for nurses

For all the nurses that read my blog, I thought I would let you know about a great site that I came across. It's called Scrubs and features many great tips and tricks for getting the most out of your nursing job and looking great while doing it. Much of the content at the site right now gives advice on summer beauty tips, style, a nurse's health , and even some fun and entertaining stories.

I'm not a nurse myself, but I know how comfortable scrubs can be to wear. I've been known to put on some at one time or another, but not all scrubs are very flattering for the figure. Scrubs has an article finding great summer fashions in and out of scrubs. The site also features many other helpful stories including a makeup and beauty section. This will let you know what colors match your skin and what type of makeup best suits the workplace. Scrubs even has a section on how to “Wake up younger” which is great advice for anyone. Many of the tips in the article are common sense, but are some surprising ones including plucking at night so redness disappears by morning.

Overall, Scrubs is a great place for nurses to get beauty and fashion advice for their personal and professional lives.

My Beef with TVLand

I love TVLand. Anyone who knows me knows that I love old shows. But lately, TVLand has been straying from its roots. It used to show all old shows, no excuses. I even showed my favorite, Emergency!, at one time. And I have been forgiving them for showing less than popular reality shows, but now Scrubs is going to be on the channel?? Uh-uh. No. Don't get me wrong--Scrubs is an awesome show that is perfect at 11:30 network slots and Comedy Central, but NOT TVLand. It's not a classic (although it could be one day) and I think that TVLand is making a gigantic mistake, just like Nick at Nite did. Nick at Nite now doesn't show programs that are more than 20 years old... that's not what the purpose of it was supposed to be at all! I'm just glad I can get everything on DVD these days....

I'm done ranting now. I promise. I have to get back to work before As the World Turns comes on.

The writer's strike is over, yet I'm still frustrated with the television lineup and barely watch TV anymore. Not that this is a bad thing. I don't think I really need to watch that much TV. Give me my soap opera and a good I Love Lucy rerun and I'm happy. But most of my favorite prime time shows, according to Entertainment Weekly, are not coming back until April. Some not until the fall. And the final four episodes of Scrubs is completely up in the air. There's a rumor that the network might not show them at all, and that the episodes will go straight to DVD. That's a big disappointment for me. However, I have found one cure. The obsession with podcasts. But--now I get to watch all those video podcasts on my TV with my new iPod A/V cord. It's amazing, and I think I got it for about four bucks on eBay. Not too shabby.
