NA-ing Cont.

Well, I got a whole bunch of congratulatory-hiring-welcome emails from the unit/health region. I'm officially hired, but it still feels so surreal!

My first day is going to be May 9th, but I also get to go to a general Health Region Organizational Orientation on the 16th. It sounds like it will be dreadfully, dreadfully boring... but attendance is mandatory and I really have no say in the matter.

Oh well.

I went out and bought my first pair of scrubs! And some extra tops.

I must say, at the official uniform stores, they are crazy expensive.

I'm talking $35 for scrub tops, and $45 for scrub pants. There was a fairly good selection to choose from, but it was hard to find ones that fit me. There were many Ls and XLs and even 2XLs! There were some Mediums (too big) and some XS (which fit, but were kind of tight). Of the few smalls, I found a cute bright pink top. And I found some really comfy bottoms.

They had Grey's Anatomy scrubs, but I opted out of buying them. They just didn't look good on me :(

So my first real set of scrubs were pricy, but I feel it's okay for me to indulge a little.

I stopped at Walmart after that.

I was trying to avoid patterened scrubs, because this is my first real job, and I want to look mature and competent... which I feel I'd be better able to achieve with solid colors... but I simply could not resist a white and pink top with hearts, flowers and little Snoopys on it! It's adorable - I squeal (internally) every time I look at it.

I'm going to wear it on my first day, maturity be damned :D
