Hello all!

I recently got a job offer that I accepted on a Med/Surg floor. Last Friday, I had to go do intake paperwork at Human Resources as well as a physical, urine drug test, titer blood draw, and PPD skin test at Occupational Health.

This Monday, I have to go back to OH to have the PPD test read, then again on Tuesday for a Fit Test for the N95 respirator. My question is what would be appropriate to wear to these appointments? I wore business casual to the Friday appointment since I had to meet with HR, but for the PPD and Fit appts, would it be acceptable to wear jeans and a blouse? The OH office is in a separate building from the hospital itself.

Absolutely - 'casual', dress - like anyone wears on their day off - would probably be just fine. Just make sure your naughty parts are covered - LOL.

Congrats on your new job!!!

Congrats on the job!! Definitely casual as long as your jeans aren't all holey and ratty
