Here is a review from our customer dentaljulie in Metairie, LA:

Cute Maternity Top

This top is very comfortable and cute! I was 5'4"/125 lbs./36E pre-pregnancy and ordered a Medium due to being large chested. I bought the top at 6months and am now almost 8 months and it is still very comfortable due to the adjustable drawstring at the bust. Will probably wear this top even after I deliver.

1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer. This is a staggering statistic and one that underscores how important it is for men and women to be educated about the dangers and take a proactive approach to early detection.

The infographic below shines the spotlight on some other statistics related to breast cancer, and while the rates of diagnoses have slowed since 1990, more than 200,000 new cases are expected to be diagnosed in U.S. women.

Donations to organizations such as the Susan G. Komen Foundation help fund education, treatments, screenings and research, so that one day we may find a cure.

Carhartt Scrubs

These scrubs are awesome! I bought them just because I was shocked that carhartt made scrubs and that made me curious to try them! Living on a farm, I own carhartt jackets, gloves, overalls, etc. and now I get to wear their scrubs to my nursing job. I ordered a petite, they fit true to size and the length is great!

“When you’re a nurse, you know that every day you will touch a life or a life will touch yours.” — Anonymous

This overarching theme is what drives most nurses to enter the profession. Knowing that you’re making a meaningful impact on your community each and every day is a powerful motivator.

As with any career path, though, it’s important to think about how you’ll be compensated for your efforts, and if any additional schooling, such as a masters in nursing, will be required. Depending on where your passions lie, it may behoove you to explore specialties that offer the greatest growth potential, as well as a good salary.

The infographic below by Scrubs Magazine lays out the 10 highest-paying nurse specialties in 2012, with a certified registered nurse anesthetist topping the list. Do any of these numbers surprise you?

This post is written by Erica Moss, who is the community manager for Nursing@Georgetown, offering the nation's leading nurse practitioner programs online.

Here is a review from our customer Rachelle in Trafalgar, IN:

Beautiful

This fits wonderful, is long enough so I don't have to worry about my back showing when bending over. I received several compliments on this shirt and it is so comfortable. It is probably my favorite scrub top and I've been a nurse for over 5 years.

It’s an oft-touted fact: Men don’t like to go to the doctor.

We can talk about it anecdotally, however, there is a set of data that seems to support this assertion. Nursing@Georgetown recently released an infographic titled “Spotlight on Men’s Health,” which lays out some pretty sobering statistics about the state of men’s health, and how through raising awareness and advancing health education, we can begin to combat some of these preventable issues.

Did you know that two-thirds of men would not seek a health care professional if they were experiencing chest pain or shortness of breath, two early warning signs of a heart attack? Check out some similar statistics in the info graphic below.

Awhile back I posted about apps that were popular in the nursing and medical world (There's an app for that, and it's really helpful!) and I am curious if they are still at the top!

A more recent post by Tech Holik: 10 iPhone Apps Every Nurse Must Have mentions these top runners:

1. Nursing Central - a subscription-based app that features numerous helpful tools for nurses.
2. Drug Infusion - features a lightweight drug-infusion guide that stores the records of large number of standardized drug concentrations.
3. Skyscape RxDrugs - an app that features usage guidelines for thousands of medicines, both branded and generic.
4. Epocrates Essentials - for users who want basic medical concepts along with basic content can choose to download the free version.
5. Medscape - has a drug reference section which is absolutely matchless and amazing, for it has reference to nearly 6,000 generic, OTC, and branded medicines.
6. MedCalc - helps the healthcare professionals in different types of calculations which they have to do in their daily routines, like calculating amount of medicine to be administered, appropriate dosage for patients, and many more.
7. Informed RN Pocket Guide - this pocket guide is a very handy tool as it also has a built-in calculator along with notes so nurses can calculate different medicine dosages to administer and jot down quick notes. The saved notes can be used for future references, too!
8. Psych Drugs - gives an easy and quick reference for all the psychotropic drugs that any nurse will run across through his/her daily routine.
9. A.D.A.M. Symptom Navigator - is one the best free apps available to quickly and accurately diagnose conditions and afflictions.
10. Pedi STAT - an app that gives accurate and appropriate information for children of any weight or age for quick and easy reference on everything from normal vital signs to allergic reactions to any other illnesses.

I came across this article by Scrubs Magazine that listed the 50 mobile apps nurses are downloading like crazy that lists the more "for fun" apps nurses use as well.

What are the apps you find yourself using most often, or better yet, what are the apps you find yourself wondering what you would do without? Please share with us your favorite medical professional and/or "just for fun" apps!
