Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

Assalaamu alaykum....Hi everyone. Wow I feel popular. I have a ?. Who "spoke" a non-English words? Did I miss something?

For Birdgardner and everyone wondering about my "mask" (niqab), well this is something I have been thinking a lot about lately. I have worn the veil for 5 1/2 years and it has really become a part of me. Even though the ruling goes that I CAN take it off (it is optional) but like I said it has become a part of me. However, if I somehow can't make it work, then I will remove it while at work. Cultural tolerance IS a two-way street, but this is more than a culture to me. Culture to me is something that is done simply because the people in that area do it. This is different; this is RELIGION, a belief system. That said, since people aren't as used to Muslim women in niqab, until they do, I will accommodate them as much as I can.
In the future, I plan to work with women/kids, but I will cross that bridge when I get there, God willing.

As far as the niqab/abayah NOT being "pretty" or whatever, to each their opinion but in the Muslim world (the PIOUS Muslims anyway), the more a woman obeys her lord and follows her religion, the more beautiful she is. There is nothing more beautiful than a woman who cherishes her body and preserves it, at the same time forcing the world to see her "mind" and who she is inside.
I have spent half my life here, always observed Islamic dressing, and I have always been able to do anything and everything! People who react to me in a certain unpleasant way when they first see me, change their minds about me very quickly when they get to know ME. Just goes to show that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, so to speak.

Thank you all for your replies. I wasn't sure how strict nursing schools are on uniform policy.

I'm wondering also: is wearing pants required. Can a nurse wear a scrub shirt with a same coloured skirt?
