Will I look foolish if I wear one of my old sets on the first day of class? I used to wear them to class when I was working that night.

Nurses have to be able to move easily, lift patients, get dirty, etc. Scrubs are cheap, comfortable, and easy to clean (or dispose of) if dirty.
Floral scrubs are a personal choice based on the individual nurse’s taste – you can have wild kinds of scrubs with skulls, hearts, etc:http://www.tafford.com/detail.htm?sid=NT…
Or you can choose something floral and hideous:http://www.bestofscrubs.com/shop/style.p…
Or go all out for the animal print:http://www.tafford.com/detail.htm?sid=NT…
But at least it allows nurses to show off their personalities with their scrubs! However, you can’t account for bad taste.

I do plan to go back to school to finish my bachelor’s and take the NCLEX-RN eventually. (Hopefully registering for night classes again this fall).
I’m especially interested in working in an Oncology department at a hospital or an ICU unit in the future, but I realize much experience, and my RN license, is needed.
Therefore, where should I start? I would love to start working, so I’ll take just about anything at first, but I’d like to get my foot in the door at a local hospital as an LPN for the experience, and to learn in any unit, but I never see ads for hiring. How do I go about getting my resume out there?
Hopefully there are some experienced nurses browsing here that might give a new, wet-behind-the-ears nurse some sound advice. =)
