    Exactly. And on a related note, I would wonder just how seriously my nurse takes Evidence Based Practice if I observed them wearing shoes that claim to get rid of cellulite!! strengthen every muscle in the body, etc by wearing shoes that basically force you to tighten your butt cheeks to balance yourself while wearing mini-rocking chairs on your feet. If you see your nurse falling for that, what's next? Those shoes with the wheels on the heel so are forced to tighten your glutes to avoid crashing into the tray cart?? Very suspect, I'd say. I think I'd rather wear Lady Gaga shoes to work.
    Off topic -- I don't know about all the other Sketchers silliness but everyone I have met wearing them says they are the most comfortable things they have ever worn. Once I am earning money again I might have to get some -- if they really are comfy. Although, they do look a bit silly. Don't know if I want to sacrifice my dignity for comfort (when there are other good comfortable shoes available). We shall see....

    Said the fly:

    "Waiter, there is a person eating my soup!"

    It is all about perspective. People who have weighed in on this rolling snowball have likely not read all gazillion of the previous posts. If you happen to have, I am impressed, or frightened, not sure which. I look at the ones that get emailed to me, as punishment for my continual replies. Kinda like chocolate, I can, but often choose not to resist eating it.

    I am encouraged that so many diverse opinions have been expressed. No lemmings in our ranks. We all prefer to march proudly, at our own pace, over the cliff. Be bold, but grab your "swimmies" before the plunge. They come in all colors, and whimsical prints too!

    Hey, I was wrong, the emoticons ARE at my disposal. Not sure why the post icons will not load. They show up on the post preview, but not the finished post. Hmm. How many S&H green stamps does it take to earn an icon?

    What? Some of my favorite childhood glassware came from a gas station, where once upon a time, they checked your oil, washed your windows (with soap, water, squeegee, and a blue paper towel) and you could trade in stamps for prizes. You could buy enough gasoline to get somewhere with the change in you pocket. All soda came in bottles, and a "45" was a hit song (or two, if the flip-side caught on) instead of the age of many of the fearful student nurses who post on this site.

    Just goes to show, you are NEVER too old to take the tangent express, or to be anything you want to be.

    I think I figured the other out, too. I have to select the icon again, before I submit the finished farce. Old dogs, yadda.

    Nope. Still no icon. Alas, I have failed again.

    Orville, I will get there eventually.

    Sincerely,
    Wilbur

    I find it doesn't matter what type of scrubs I wear...my professionalism is based soley on how old I look....people don't think I'm a nurse..not because I wear prints two days of the week but because I don't look "old enough to be a nurse".

    Dear Sparrowhawk,

    Just figured out how to quote, jeez pretty soon I will be collecting revenue from this site! LOL!

    I am the "chicken hawk" that pestered Foghorn Leghorn, in black and white, before Elmer Fudd became a GEICO spokes-stutterer, and all cavemen were indignant. Don't even get me started on that billionare lizard!

    I also just figured out that OP is the "original point." I thought it was another poster's screen name. Remind me to continue to ignore the "OP."

    As far as not looking old enough to be a nurse, all I can say is: "Hold on to that." Three grandbabies later, I still get carded, even though the age on my driver's license just says "OTD." (Older Than Dirt)

    Bless the Beasts and the Children. Great book, ok movie.

    Yes, you are correct, in my case, they are just being kind.

    i thought "op" meant "original poster", or the person who started the thread.

    it's pretty much all the same thing.
    for example, dh = dear husband/darling husband...
    unless the wife is ticked off at him that day, then dh could be...
    nevermind, won't go there.

    Same thing could be said for dw = dear wife/darling wife/ [fill in the blank]. Equal opportunity
