Exclamation Re: Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

I just want to add my :

If you're a hairy-chested guy wearing scrubs, no T-shirt, AND you work in NICU, you may have already discovered just how painful the grasp reflex can be.

'nuff said.

Re: Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

I generally wear a colored t-shirt with my scrubs. I started wearing the t-shirts arfter noticing unsightly stains in my armpits. I figured a bit of t-shirt sticking out from under the sleeves was much less objectionable.
Wearing t-shirts in matching or contrasting colors is about as much fashion flair as I ever display. I have to admit I am toying with the idea of tie-dyed t-shirts under my scrubs.

Re: Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

not a fan of chest hair. So glad hubby doesn't have any. I'd like to see it covered up with a t shirt especially if he has a woolly mammoth type chest but I am not going to stare, make comments, or big fuss about it. That is just mean and hurtful.

Re: Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

I think it should behoove the person to wear undershirt over his "sweater." I don't have Robin Williams hiding in my scrub but I have a pretty decent amount of chest hair. I wear undershirt because my pits show if I don't, that's kinda gross.

Hi and welcome to AllNurses.com!

I have to admit, I sure wish all men would trim their chest hair.

Re: Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

I voted for no because I would hate it to HAVE to wear 2 shirts I get hot enough as it is. And usually its only me and the dudes c/o it being too hot. So trim if it looks like something is going to jump out of your top. And don't forget the back of your neck if something wooly liver thier. I don't care if you have it but I don't want to see it.

We recently added 'specifics' to our "all hair must be covered" rule. Chest hair was included.

I have noticed your facility has several good policies when it comes to some touchy subjects. Sure wish I worked there!
