I suppose if things don't work out for me as a nurse, I can go get a job with the circus as a clown. Shane thinks that the scrubs we nurses wear resemble clown costumes. It's kind of funny. I can kind of see where he is coming from. I don't understand how just a few decades ago, nurses were wearing starched white Nurse Ratched uniforms with the little white cap and now we wear these cotton drawstring pants and baggy scrub tops made of crazy prints. I guess I have to agree the uniforms are kind of silly. But they are very comfortable and I have heard that they have done studies and found that the uniforms cause less patient anxiety than the old white ones. Makes sense, I suppose. So, I will always have the circus to fall back on.
