Blogger's Note: This is a guest blog post written by Kelly Laughead, our intern here at ADVANCE.     Spread some holiday cheer with these fun printed scrub tops. Don't be a scrooge this year, enjoy yourself and spread the holiday cheer with some festive Christmas scrubs! The holiday season is around the corner and ...

Why are there so many birds? This started out as a spinoff of another post, and snowballed into something too big for my brain to comprehend. I've done geometry for the first time since the SATs. I've crunched numbers, multiplying and dividing. I've hunted through the website and called in favors from others. And what do you get out of it? ...

Oh noes. It's coming. This morning in a meeting, I heard those words for the first time in 2010: ''Black Friday.'' Eep. It's really not that far away. Stores already have their holiday season wares out, and I've already slipped into the mode of convincing myself I'll shop early this year (I will. Yes, I will.). With Black Friday comes the full ...

Creepy. I've never been one for gigantic homes. The few I've been in have either been 1. plantation homes or 2. the White House or 3. decorated very blandly. When some new friends moved in with parents recently and we were invited over for a movie, though, I couldn't resist seeing what another friend called ''the castle house,'' which came ...

Show your physical therapy colleagues your appreciation. October means National Physical Therapy Month, and it's a great time to show your physical therapy staff how much you appreciate what they do throughout the year. PTs will open up their practices to the communities to spread the word about physical therapy and promote the profession. Want ...

Just in time for National Respiratory Care Week. Working here at ADVANCE, it's always fun to see the collaboration between departments. We have a lot going on but ideas flow, meetings are held and thoughts become reality when everyone gets together. Sometimes the departments that blend seem a bit unlikely. I have a good and very recent example. ...

These CPR handouts are chock full of helpful info and would make great promotional items for National Safety Month. June's a lot of things. It's the beginning of summer. It's the month the Flyers win the Stanley Cup (fingers crossed). It's full of picnics and sun and the end of the school year. June is also National Safety Month. The National ...

 We've got the goods for all of your celebration needs. OK, I'm a bit behind on this one. I usually try to write about upcoming holidays pretty far in advance so I'm not telling you about stuff that you can't have right now. However, we have a bunch of great Cinco de Mayo promotional products (or products that could be used for Cinco de ...

Find your favorite T-shirts for Better Hearing and Speech Month and get a bargain! I love it when a plan comes together. I also love quoting The A-Team, but that's beside the point. Online shopping ranks high on the list of stuff I love to do, and it's almost like a little challenge to me. I typically avoid buying anything at full price and ...

Get the nurse in your life some bling. Last decade called. It wants its subhead back. While I don't really think people call it ''bling'' so much anymore, jewelry and accessories can make great National Nurses Week gifts, especially for those nurses who aren't the easiest people to shop for. If you're searching for male nurse gifts, this post ...
