Although I get turned on by SOME chest hair on men, I voted to put the T-shirt on under the scrub simply because it looks more professional in a healthcare setting.
If I were the patient who had a male nurse caring for me with his gorgeous chest hair hanging out, I might forget our patient - nurse relationship. sorry...haaaaad to go there.
You had me rolling. I just pictured a gigolo nurse with the gold chain hanging out strutting in to some 70's music and in the background you hear "HELLO NURSE"
Ok I have been up too long from yesterday to today now but currently that is so funny.
Oh, not a nurse as of yet so I will hold off on voting.
I had a former Urologist who apeared to have had a gorilla as a parent. I NEVER saw him in his office (over a period of 2 1/2 years) wearing anything other than a scrub set and no t-shirt under it. I never looked at him without noticing how "hairy" he was--not only his chest but his forearms and upper arms as far as you could see up his short sleves. As a not very hairy male, I wasn't repulsed by it, just thought it odd that he didn't at least manscape a little. One time, I did note that his chest had been severly "pruned"--of his own choice? or perhaps urged on him by his young, attractive wife, who I taught at the local community college. I have had occasion to see him away from his office at various events and noted that he NEVER had on a tie and NEVER appeared to wear a t shirt even when not in scrubs. Personal preference? Delight in revealing his hairy self? No clue--I think the t-shirt under scrubs look is better on guys and I'd wear one if I dressed in scrubs-- I wear one EVERY day with what ever I wear.....personal preference should dictate what you do in this regard I guess.
So What If Male Nurses Chest Hair Show. Men Are Supposed To ; It's A Genetic Trait Caused By Testosterone; It's A Heck Of Alot More Professional Than Cna's And Nurse's Chests Popping Out And Thongs That Stick Out Whenever They Bend Over. On A More Comical Note, I've Met Some Very Hairy Women, Too. If They Have Hairy Chests, Should They Wear Shirts Under Scrubs? If So, Who Would Tell Them?
T-shirt or shave the visable hair. Putting aside everything else, its just more professional and seen as "cleaner". I mean, I wouldn't want to see a female nurse's unshaved armpit hair as she's hanging my IV.
That's just my "medical" opinion, but is not indicative of my personal preferences outside of the work place.

Oh...I would.
(laughing to myself....I'd want the same expectations/notifications from others on matters like this myself ....not that I have that issue, but anyways...
Why should some chest hair matter? I've seen plenty of male nurses with facial hair. It is personal choice. Only hair issue I have is that long hair should be pulled back, so as not to get in to "nasty" stuff in the line of duty.
